Improvements / Changes
  • CHANGED Account Menu for easy one property width adjustments
  • CHANGED Behavior of messageUserInfo Avatar sizing (s/m/l). Now setting it to large will no longer break your user info if you don't enlarge the messageUserInfo block enough
  • CHANGED Primary/Secondary Content Links to inherit the default: Style Properties -> General -> Link color
  • CHANGED Footer Links for Privacy Policy / Terms and Rules, we've now moved them into the default footer links area. This allows for easier customization of the copyright area!
  • CHANGED MessageUserInfo FA Boxed setup to Flexbox CSS
  • CHANGED QuickSearch CSS while set as a navigation tab, complete overhaul and now adheres to the styling of other popup menus
  • CHANGED CSS Styling for the gallery to match each style better
  • CHANGED Sub-forum icons from a regular content to Font Awesome. You may now easily change the icons being used via the cheat sheet.

Bugs Squashed
  • FIXED: Social logins aligning to the left
  • FIXED: Sticky Sidebar CSS Bug
  • FIXED: Mobile logo max-height now appropriately resizes to the mobile logo height
  • FIXED: Attachment Icons not showing on all locations
  • FIXED: Navigation bug with gallery when Disable Sub-Nav is enabled
  • FIXED: Applied a fix for floating logo option, previously would break smaller resolutions or setups with a lot of links
  • FIXED: Conflict with Live Update and User Panel option showing wrong # of alerts
  • FIXED: Sticky Sidebar + Collapse Sidebar not working properly

Key Notes:
  • We've changed the single xbButtonBorder color palette to: xbButtonBackground and xbButtonColor so if you've customized your buttons or they look off you may need to check the following:
    • Color Palette to adjust your colors for the two new properties
    • Style Properties -> Buttons -> (Button) (Sign-up Now Button Container / Inner) (Call-to-Action Button Container / Inner)
  • Node layouts have changed, we have added the ability to customize your nodes even further. In doing so we've removed the option for layouts 1 and 2 (Dual Column and Dual Column Minimal). The new node setup is now controlled by going to:
    Style Properties: ├ ─ Nodes
    If you were using one of the alternative node layouts you will need to set you options again via the style properties listed above
  • Floating Logo, we've had to re-approach the way we coded this, as of now this will no longer use the Text as Logo Option and instead only use an image you set. You must set a width on the property for it to work properly! You can find the property at:
    Style Properties: [XB] Header and Navigation - Navigation Logo (xbFloatLogo)
    I suggest simply reverting the property and re-applying your background image
Style Specific Changes:
The only changes for the style were to make it more compatible with the new features inside XenBase.

Please BACKUP ALL YOUR styles before performing the upgrade!
