Brendan — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 19:55:20 +0000

Dark Intentions for MyBB 1.6 is finished and ready for download! Its not a straight port from the earlier version, more of an evolution. You will notice this version is a little wider and fresher looking.

Tell me if you have any issues, and enjoy!

MyBB Theme Updates

Brendan — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:18:24 +0000

I went through the four existing themes and squashed some bugs today. Most of the changes are only for Internet Explorer, but there were also some CSS issues I fixed up. They’ve been updated for MyBB 1.4.13, potentially one of the last updates before 1.6! Downloads on the MyBB page or at the bottom of this post.

I’ve been hoping to put together some new themes for a while now. As soon as a proper 1.6 beta comes out I’ll start working on it, and I promise to keep everyone updated.

That’s 1.4.6-tastic!

All the themes have been updated for the latest installment of MyBB, and are available for download on the MyBB Themes page. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions please share them. I’ve been working on a few other MyBB related goodies lately, I’ll share some information on one of those projects very soon.

Dark Intentions 1.4 Release

Brendan — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:42:06 +0000

Some of you may have seen my post on the MyBB Community Forums yesterday. I put up a screenshot and beta version for download, and today I think Dark Intentions (1.4.1) is ready its real release. The theme brings a sleek, high-contrast look to MyBB and increases ergonomics of the GUI. The K2/WordPress inspired header gives you quick access to important features and pages at-a-glance, and the enhanced breadcrumb makes its easier to see which page your on and where you’ve been. Buttons have been changed from images to HTML elements to save bandwidth and to facilitate some nifty rollovers.

Dark Intentions is full of cool stuff, and I have more great plans for it in the future. To change the tagline (under your forums name), login to your Admin CP > Templates and Style tab > Templates > Dark Intentions > header > header > and you should be able to edit the text to you’re liking there. I plan to introduce a plugin to make changing the tagline and other elements of Dark Intentions easier. Worth noting are the facts that some of the buttons are hardcoded English. This is because there was no usable lang variables for some. They can easily be adjusted for your language (easier I say than Photoshoping every single button). Also, this version doesn’t include the multiquote feature, but I plan to fix this in a subsequent release in the coming weeks (I’ll provide update instructions too).

Anyways, enjoy the theme and thanks for tolerating the long wait.

iMac as Darkly Intended

Brendan — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:30:43 +0000

My replacement computer arrived the other day. The screen isn’t prefect, but it is much better. I’m going to use it as is and consider having the display replaced at a later time, but I am more than happy with my shiny new 2′ iMac.

As promised, I started work on Dark Intentions 1.4. Its coming along nicely. I need to add some buttons, iron a few areas and insert all the little niceties. We should see a release some time this week. I’m serious this time. I’m also happy to tell you that I intend to provide an enhanced version sometime down the line. It will be easier to customize, and may even integrate in to your K2/WordPress site. We’ll see how it goes.

Dark Intentions 1.4

Brendan — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:24:57 +0000

I’ve received a lot of questions about my Dark Intentions theme for MyBB. To answer everyone’s questions, yes, there will be a release for 1.4. I’ve been working on a few other projects, but we should see a new version within a week. I’ve got some special things planned for this release, so hold on tight.

If you have any suggestions for new themes that I’ll be working on after Dark Intentions, please email me or comment. Also, I’ve received a number of inquiries about custom themes. I do write custom themes at a reasonable price, please email me if you’d like a quote or sample of custom work I’ve done. Also look out for a new MyBB section coming to quacktacular.net soon with more information on free and custom themes.

Update: Sorry for the delay guys, I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m waiting for my aluminum iMac arrive so I can get this done (using my iMac G4 now, doesn’t really cut it for development).
