    How did you manage to find the code for this color?

    Pretty satisfied with my updates. One thing I don't understand however are the lightblue boxes on the middle-left ("Manage subscriptions", "Manage bookmarks", etc.). Anyone have any idea?
    CovertPea, are you able to find the html color code for this one as well? :)

    Edit: the blue seems to be gone now. No idea why, but some updates apparently need longer than others.

    Screenshot it, pop it into a IMP and use the colour select tool/pippet.

    Cool, thanks. Can you shine your critical light on the forum once more?

    That's one way but all I use is a little free ap called "traycolor" (Shown below.) to grab any colour from anything on the screen.

    Sure.

    It's coming along, seems to be improving every time I look at it. I see what you mean about the grey boxes under Forum now, not sure what that is. The orange may be a little bright, is it the same colour value you used with the home pages?

    Also, you need to edit corners_right/left.png and change them to white, as right now they are still a light grey colour and you can see them.

    Hmmm, maybe add a border along the sides of body_bg.png, similar to the border on the main site. Right now the white space is pretty vast and blinding.

    If you goto overall_footer.html in the template folder, you can edit what the footer says. I'd suggest chaning it to something like:

    "Discussourfuture 2010&copy
    Theme by Discussourfuture&copy - Based on AZ_Reto&copy
    Powered by phpBB&copy"

    Don't know the keyboard shortcut for the copyright symbol so I just wrote the HTML. In full HTML below:

    <div class="copyright colorfix">
    <a href="http://www.discussourfuture.org/e"><b>Discussourfuture</b></a> &copy

    Theme by <a href="http://www.discussourfuture.org/e"><b>Discussourfuture</b></a> &copy based on AZ_Retro; 2010 <br />

    Powered by <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/">phpBB</a> &copy;
    <br />

    I've attached an updated overall_footer.html, with just what I put above, so you can just replace it. Obviously you can change it if you don't like what I've written.

    Eh, can't upload HTML files. K, you'll just have to update your one. It goes above:

    Thanks mate. I looked at those corners, but if I change them to white, the corners look very ugly. I have to think how to deal with that. I can also make them orange and make rectangles.

    I'll look at the borders. Good point.

    May I ask which browser you use?

    Cheers,

    Bram

    They shouldn't look ugly, they should be completely invisible.

    I use firefox, best browser :D
