Background

[Mason K.]

Quick question how can I make the site smaller so that it's hovering and then put alternating background(s).
Thanks in advance.

If you mean the forum widths, you can adjust them in Style Properties > [XB] General Setup (if the same as my theme).

Thanks I found it can someone show me what the code for the backstretch image should look like?

 

[Zynektic]

Do you want to use a single image or multiple rotating ones?

 

[Mason K.]

Multiple

If you have not removed the backstretch code it should have the defaults already.

You usually upload the photo in the Xenforo root right?

I do not use backstretch and had the code removed but maybe something like "styles/theme/xenforo/images/background.jpg", on new lines or something, wait for @Russ / @Steve to reply.

You can set the path to where ever you'd like, but 'styles/apex/xenforo/sources' is where we upload our extra images.

You could always make a folder inside your styles folder to have custom images in so you can easily use them across styles.

So I would make a folder called 'backgrounds' inside the /styles/ folder.
Code for Back Stretch field:

"styles/backgrounds/image1.png", "styles/backgrounds/image2.png", "styles/backgrounds/image3.png"

The weird thing is I looked in my styles folder and there is nothing from you guys.

 

[Mason K.]

So I made a folder in my styles then used these variables @Steve

"styles/backgrounds/1.jpg", "styles/backgrounds/2.jpg", "styles/backgrounds/3.jpg"

Still nothing...

 

[Mason K.]

Is there someone who doesn't minds taking a look for me?

 

[Steve]

I'm out for the weekend, but maybe @Russ can see what's up.

 

[simheads]

I just made a new thread asking the same thing. LOL

I found this, but I think it's more for ads. I haven't tried it just yet.

If you want to PM me your URL, the one attached on your license is running another style.

 

[simheads]

Yeah I only have the fusion style but still the same need.

Sure, will do. I have it running so that I can only see it. I will install it again today as I uninstalled it yesterday, because I was wondering if I installed it incorrectly or something.

I just got the backgrounds to work. How would I go about putting the top nav bar and joining it with the rest of the forum. What settings would I change in order for my site to be very boxed in like animeforums.net

Style Properties -> [XB] Header and navigation would probably what you're looking for. Although I still can't see your style on your site.

Swap Nav with logo

Thanks @Russ. Do you mind sending me a PM with the account information you'd like for my site so that if I have anymore questions you'll be able to see the theme.
