Question about themes - Is Gamer Time still being sold?

[Katsu]

Heya. I'm looking to get the Gamer Time theme, for my instance of Xenforo 2.3.12. I looked for it under styles yet couldn't find it. Really interested in this theme!

 

[Russ]

Hello,

There's a version of Gamer Time available for our Nova style. You can view it here:

Pixel Exit XenForo Styles Demo : - Gamer Time

pixelexit.com

When you go to download it, it will show up as a child style. You just install Nova first, then install the child style as a child of Nova. You put your edits directly in there.

Hey Russ. what is the best way to have the texture effect provided with the theme without the downside of it being pure black. Would it be possible to set a header image that fades into the background?

 

[Russ]

I'll need to double check but that graphic should be included in the normal Nova download.

You can go to Style properties -> Basic options -> Page background, upload this image there.

As for an image that fades, are you referring to something like our Omni Style approach?

You can create an image and just place it using custom CSS. Target:

.xb-page-wrapper { background css here}

 

[Katsu]

Thanks for the texture. And yeah, definitely like the Omni Style. Would you have some recommended CSS for placing it correctly with fade - or would I need to figure that out myself.

 

[Russ]

The fade isn't actually CSS powered. It's going to be part of the image.

See this as an example. The image itself fades out, just used Photoshop.

Oh. That's a marginally easier way of doing it, huh. I'll speak with my graphics people about getting something like that. What about placement? Not the best CSS developer myself, I prefer tailwind, lol. So any help there would be wonderful. But I do totally respect if that's outside of scope for theme support.

You'll need to upload the image to your site (FTP/cpanel or something like that, not as an attachment).

Then add this to extra.less:

.xb-page-wrapper {
    background: url(pathtoimage) no-repeat top center;
}

Heya Russ. Is it possible to make the buttons look more default?

Heya Russ. Is it possible to make the buttons look more default?

I think you might be referring to the bottom part of the buttons?

If so, head to Style properties -> Buttons -> On all the button types, remove the box-shadow in the extra box:
