we're open to having additional themes (styles/skins/templates) for board members to choose from when using the TOMB...not just the one you see now.
but i'm not making any more!
so...have at it!
make a theme
and here's more info from the phpbb support forums:
This article explains how to start creating your own style.
Almost every style is based on something, and that something is usually subSilver. subSilver is default phpBB style and you are allowed to edit it as you want and use it as base for other styles. But you are not allowed to use styles by other designers to create your own style.
---edit---email hillary to get a copy of the subSilver directory---
In all further instructions you should replace "YourStyle" with your style name. Directory name and all filenames is case sensitive, so "YourStyle" and "yourstyle" are not the same and when following futher instructions you should make sure you have correct filename case everywhere.
Copy contents of directory "templates/subSilver" to "templates/YourStyle".
Rename templates/YourStyle/subSilver.cfg to templates/YourStyle/YourStyle.cfg
Rename templates/YourStyle/subSilver.css to templates/YourStyle/YourStyle.css
Open theme_info.cfg, replace all "subSilver" with "YourStyle". Then do the same to all .tpl files in that directory. You can easily do it with almost any text editor by using command "replace all".
---edit---then email modified files to hillary
Directory structure should be similar to subSilver, except that instead of "subSilver" there should be "YourStyle".
