Installing your new theme requires you to do a few things right off the bat.
1) Upload the graphics to your own web space. As a DelphiPlus member, you have 5MB of web
space, FAR more than you need for the graphics on a forum. There's a link below the message
area of your posts that permits you to access and upload to your web space. Delphi has a
tutorial here and here if you have questions or problems about uploading your graphics - including how to find the url to post to me.
2) Find and bookmark your forum's style sheet editor. To do that, you need to know your forum's
webtag. Just type or paste the web tag in the space below and it will take you right to the style sheet for that forum.
3) Go back to your forum enter the changes to Colors
and Fonts, according to what I will provide you - they're an important part of the design
and affect a few things that the style sheet doesn't, such as chat.
When you make the changes in Colors and Fonts, it will activate your style sheet. If you DON'T
make at least one change there, your graphics will never work.
4) I will provide you with the code you need to paste into the box on your
style sheet. Be sure to click on the Submit button to save it, once you've pasted it in.
5) Finally, please include the following credit at the bottom of your start page - putting in the
name of the artist who designed your new theme! (You'll need to add this in
source mode.)
