Ok, so I know it's able to be done with the forum icon's but what I'm trying to do is make individual descriptions custom to that particular board per skin. I want some to match, but others to stand out. I don't want to put an image in the direct description, I want to be able to do it via css as a background, so I can change it per skin for certain boards and have the text on top of it without doing a ton of div coding in the forum manager.
I'm not sure if there is a plugin I'm missing or something, but I'd prefer the ability to do it without a plugin if possible. I know we can do it with the icons but now I want to be able to do it with the descriptions on the boards.

Hey Pheobe Black, Without a plugin it would be tricky to do this. Because board descriptions are generated based on data that you configured in the admin panel, you'd have to be very specific with your If statements in the layout templates. For example, descriptions are found in Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Board > Board List. Around line 19, you should see <p class="description">$[board.description]</p>. Since you want specific descriptions per board per skin, it would go something like this, if I had a board named General and wanted a special description for the theme Flowers. The text in green (which represents board descriptions as they're configured in your Categories & Boards section) will display for every board/theme not referenced in your layout templates. So with this, you'd have to add specific entries and if statements that correspond to every board whose description you want to be customized per board and theme. It'd be easier to do it via plugin, as you can probably see here.
