Author: Helena & Cory
Date Created: October 2011 for a partners theme battle.

Theme Preview:
Posted Image Click image for live preview

Side Notes: Creating a Halo based theme has been on our to-do list for a while now. The partners theme battle was a perfect opportunity to take on the challenge. We thought it would be a fun and different project and would also fill a void in the theme gallery. (There are some Halo skins, but no Halo themes.) Cory and I hope that we've produced something Halo fans will enjoy. We will also be releasing a non-Halo version in the near future for those that like the look of the theme but want a more generic space-station feel. Halo images are derived from Planet Renders, HaloWiki and various free-to-use wallpapers and promotional images sites.

[Note: December 2011: The non-Halo version of this theme, Structural is now available as an RDB exclusive theme: http://resources.zetaboards.com/topic/5130250/ ]

Special Features: The forum table scrolls over Halo-themed background images on the index, portal, and blog. Text areas feature randomly rotating Halo vehicle images, and users can choose to play the Halo theme music while surfing the board.

Installation Notes: For the theme to render properly, you must use the supplied image set. (Specifically, any images that have the rivets that connect them to the vertical pipes.)

Browser compatibility: Halo Wars has been tested in the latest FireFox, Opera, Chrome, and IE 9 and IE8. Older versions of IE are not supported at this time.

Edits Allowed? Edits may be made, however for any edits beyond text color and size, please add an "edited by" credit to the copyright information.

...you have a textured background throughout the theme and I kept thinking I need to clean the dust off of my screen. :lol:

How funny!

um...that would be space dust! That is actually supposed to suggest (subtly) a star field in the background.

But perhaps its too subtly ... ^_^

No, it's perfect and not too subtle. It's more a reflection of how little I clean my computer screen. :P

Congratulations!

This theme has won the Full Theme Collab Battle, and although it was by default, it does not take away the fabulous crafting that this theme exhibits. Great work Cory & Helena!

Theme looks nice. :) I'm going to use it since The only Game I ever play on Xbox 360 is Halo, But Since this is a new theme Ill like to do a bit of C7C :).

1 Get rid of dotted lines at bottom of of Thread Desc.
2 When making a image repeat on X make sure its seamless EX. The Header Top & Bottom Bored dont flow.
3 Start Music function opens music but dose not play. (May be due to my computer Im using FF 8)

I will post anything else I see that needs to be touched up :)


Sorry if any seems harsh But im just giving you advice for your next theme since Halo CE Anniversary is coming out Tuesday and Halo 4 comes out next year.

Great theme :)

I have edited it for my board, but am struggling to add the 'Edited by' credit to the Copyright portion.

Also, I am looking to remove the images from the PM/Reply text boxes. As much as I like Halo...the pics in the boxes undo the immersion into another genre.

If there was any help towards this it would be appreciated :)


Thank you again for an awesome theme. Everyone likes it a lot, and it was very easy for me to edit. (For a first timer)

You can edit and re-host the JavaScript file to add the edited by notice in and remove the random textarea background images code, or you can add snippets to do either of those.
Code:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#copyright').append(', edited by...');
});
</script>
You can add that to the end of the Theme Layout and edit to add the edited by notice.

You can add this to the CSS to get rid of the background images in the textareas:
Code:
 
textarea {
background-image: none !important;
}

ok, I've snooped around the support pages and here and simply can't find the tutorial to add things like bottons and everything else found in the image sets (Admin CP-Themes -Image Sets). I'd love to add in the graphics and icons from this theme (it simply looks rediculous otherwise lol). Will someone send me the link to tell me how? (pm is fine to avoid spam here).

TY!

If this documentation:
http://docs.zetaboards.com/themes/theme_images?s=images

does not help you, you can open a support ticket from your ACP, or post for support on the ZetaBoards support forum here: http://if.invisionfree.com/forum/1000057/

In addition to installing the images from the image pack zip file, you also need to add the codes in the spoiler above titled "CSS Post buttons".
