the css is here

Directions for install
to use it you must have 1) a browser that supports css3 selectors and 2) a way of loading the css.

if you have firefox I recomend installing  greasemonkey(http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/)
then installing cskinner from http://blog.thedt.net/cskinner/

then going to the tools menu up the top , click "userscript commands" and click skinner(domain).
a window will pop up which looks like this
copy and paste the css into that and hit save then reload the page.

for opera I'm currently looking into making a userscript to inject it into the pages like cskinner for firefox.

and for ie keep dreaming.

dont be too harsh on this my weak heart cant handle it rotfl.

And thats another reason why firefox is more customisable

It doesnt work for me...

I have GM 0.3.3.
I installed the script, then went to user script commands and clicked skinner(domain) and then I pasted the css url, but it didnt work...

And I refreshed the page...

Should get DZ to install it!

This theme actually looks really nice, it's a shame that you haven't replaced the "Post Reply" image, or any of the Plus! icons, as they're looking really crappy .

bad things happen when i attempt to replace them , see the css way i was replacing them was hiding the real image and then setting the width and the height of the A tag and adding a css background to it.
if you know a better way to directly replace an image please tell me.
also feel free to make images to use in it

its a great idea, whaty if you like teamed up with one of the admins to make it properly so that it can be an offical forum skin

I wouldn't want to add a dark skin because most of the images are designed for a light background. I'm certainly not going to upload a whole new set of images for a new skin...

Ahh, thank you that worked

Suggetion:

Make it compatible with other themes, because it will only work nicely with the default theme...

Also, is it me, or the images look darker?
