Style install guide?

[Mayhem]

I am interested in purchasing the Flat Awesome style and was curious why the style installation guide is blocked - until after the theme is purchased?

What I am concerned about is having to install some "theme manager" addon before being able to install the theme. I've already been burned for $50 on a theme, because it required some heavy "product manager" addon to be installed first - which I am not interested in.

Is this how PixelEdit manages their themes as well? or do they install the same was as the free version(s) of the theme?

There are a few steps in the install process.

We use a framework but is literally just a parent style that houses all of our custom things and any style installed under it inherit those options. Other than that there are no extra add-ons or managers.

Thank you, is there somewhere I can find out what the difference is between the free and paid version of Flat Awesome style?

I like the simplicity of the install on the free version, and willing to fully support it with the no branding, etc options.

You don't need a guide for a product you don't have.

Looks like you took the plunge! The free version of Flat Awesome has zero additional features outside of the default XenForo. The + version has a ton of features, a bit too many to list.

This is an older thread but has most of the info, unfortunately with the permissions at XenForo I can't edit it.

As for the resources ya basically the install guide is meant for customers, we have some new documentation coming which may change the permissions of that.

You did a great job on this theme! It has a ton of features, and I really like the 4 preset styles for the message layout. It's hard to decide which one to use ... as I like them all.
