the guidelines

• You may not use this skin as a base for your own skin. If you wish to just use one of the specific remodels, head over to Adoxography and find the codes there. Changes of images, colors, fonts, and other minor changes are more than welcomed.

[/font][li]Credits are given to anyone whose supplies I have used. They can be found at the bottom of the forum and also in all the codes, even for minor edits. Please do not remove or temper with the credits in any way.[/li]
[li]If you are using the skin, I would love for you to link me when it's all set up on your forum. Also, feel free to ask questions at any time.[/li] [/ul]

theme includes

• A banner with four hover boxes. I have edited it so it's a Welcome, a Links, a Staff, and a Credit box but you may edit those however you'd like.
  
  
• A hover mini profile with a 150x150 and a 200x350 avatar, as well as a music player, rank, and quote on hover.
  
  
• Custom board, profile, shoutbox, and banner remodel as mentioned above.

plugins

• Google Web Fonts: to install the Megrim and Raleway Dots fonts.

setup tips

• Custom Fields: in order to make the hover image and the music player work on the mini-profiles, you will have to create two custom fields. Go into Admin -> Members -> Custom Fields and add them. The first should be titled 'Hover Image', and it should be a Text Field with URL (plain text) as the option, and the second should be titled Music and should also be a Text Field with URL (plain text) as the option. Both should be set to Mini Profiles Only and should be editable by staff and members. Do not name the custom fields anything else because in the code, the names are specifically set to 'Hover Image' and 'Music' and neither will work if you don't name the fields the same.

• Hover Boxes: To edit the hover boxes, go into Admin -> Themes -> Templates -> Forum Wrapper. You will find the codes there. They are fairly simple to edit/fill out.

• Google Web Fonts: You will need to install the Google Web Fonts plugin on your forum and add the Megrim and Raleway Dots font to your forum through that plugin. Otherwise, the fonts I used for the Title Bars, Mini-Profiles, Credits, and more won't work.

• Mini-Profiles: You have a 150x150px avatar and then also a 200x350px hover image avatar. Add the latter through Profile -> Personal -> Hover Image. If you want to edit the default hover image, go into Admin -> Themes -> Templates -> Mini Profile and look around line 5 to replace the Placehold with your own 200x350px image.

I am using this theme on my new forum but I am really confused by the google fonts thing. Where do I get that plugin?

[N A T]

You get it in the Proboards Plugin Library, pretentiouscrouton.

[Jeanette]

I have the Google Fonts plugin installed and entered the names of the fonts above but it's not changing. Am I doing it wrong?

[N A T]

Jeanette, hm, provide a forum link so I can have a look?

Hello. I love the theme but id like to make the containers on the main page thinner and more streamlined. Where would I go to reduce their size? Also if its okay how can I remove the large gray boxes for the threads and post counts?

Thanks! ^^

Hello! Love this skin Using it on my site here.

Was wondering, if it's possible to make the sub-boards visible at the front page? For example, I've tried to put a sub-board under 'Selvidoor', but unless you know it's there, you don't see it before you enter 'Selvidoor'
