Understanding the theme manager

The theme manager is found under Admin CP > Themes > Modify / Delete

You may then choose the theme you want to edit by selecting Edit Theme from the drop-down menu and click go beside it.

You may ask what is the difference between MyBB Master Style and any other theme.

The MyBB Master Style is applied to all the themes, so if you add anything to that theme, or edit anything there, that will affect all theme. Alternatively if you edit any single theme, that will only affect only the theme you are editing at the moment.

The theme manager consists of many tables and each refers to an element or part of the board.

  • General Options: this will deal with the name of the theme (not important now)
  • Theme Options: here you will need to specify the image directory, where the photos are found, also u will choose your logo, table spacing etc...
  • Body: this a general customization that will affect those with no class elements, it's actually the body settings
  • Page Container: is the container that contains all the other elements, to illustrate more, it's the white box u see at the site borders.
  • Content Container: this will deal with the fitting of the things inside the container
  • Top Links Menu
  • Welcome Panel: this will affect the welcome block (panel)
  • Tables: this will deal with the tables in general, but doesn't affect that much.
  • Table Border: class called "tborder" this will affect anything related to borders
  • Table Headers: class="thead" this will affect the header of any table, the header for those who do not know it exactly is the top part of the table
  • Table Sub Headers: class="tcat" this will affect the subheaders, for example, the forum bit containing Forum ,Threads, Posts, Last Post.
  • Alternating Table Row 1: class="trow1" this will deal with the table rows, such as the row of the forum name, thread name etc....
  • Alternating Table Row 2: class="trow2" as the one above, but this deals with the row which is after the 1st
  • Shaded Table Row: this will deal with the shaded rows, i think it's only used when you unapprove a certain thread
  • Table Row Separator: in case there is a separator between some rows , this will deal with it
  • Table Footers: class="tfoot" this is the setting for the table footer, they don not appear always, but for example when browsing a certain thread u may find it at the bottom of the table
  • Bottom Links Menu: this will deal with the bottom links menu, which is at the far bottom, having rss syndication, contact us etc...
  • Navigation Breadcrumb and active Navigation Breadcrumb are related to the navigation indicator, eg. Joomlarocket.com / MyBB / Tutorials .
  • Small Text: all text with class of smalltext will follow the settings here
  • Large Text: all text with class of largetext will follow this
  • Form Elements: all this related to the forms!! such as checkbox, radio buttons, drop-down menus etc..
  • MyCode Formatting Toolbar: this will deal with the toolbar background, styles etc...
