    This post is for my forum themes and related projects. You need something like Stylus to take full advantage of them.

    What is Stylus?
    Stylus is a browser extension that lets you apply custom designs and layouts using CSS, the language that describes how web pages look.

    Why Stylus?
    • Stylus allows you to easily upload and download styles.
    • Stylus features automatic updates so you can stay up-to-date. By default, Stylus checks every 24 hours.
    • Unlike a similarly-named extension called Stylish, Stylus doesn’t spy on you.
    How do I get Stylus?
    You can download it from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. If you use a browser other than Chrome or Firefox, chances are your browser supports Chrome or Firefox extensions, so try the links anyway. After installing, clicking the download links below will prompt you to add them to Stylus.

    Slot open.
    I'm not very sure what these slots will be used for, but they might just be cool things that aren't fit for the main release.​

    Both Lycel and I were working on dark themes; it’s just that Lycel’s came out first. Stylebot (which is what Lycel uses) is easier to use than Stylus, but Stylus allows for automatic updates, custom options without having to dig into the CSS itself, and more options for theme creators overall.

    Wow. This was a mess. But I loved working on it, even though it was horribly unoptimized. I can't believe that it's been over a year!
    To celebrate the one year, I'll be rewriting the whole thing. And this time, people should be able to use it without problems. Even the Xenforo admin control panel will be themed! (Well, to the maximum extent that I can, since I can't view it... :p)

    I hope anyone viewing this will be at least somewhat interested, as I like fiddling with CSS. Please? For me? :)

    Mhmm, I made the bulk of mine on May 22nd/23rd because James made a suggestion thread about it from memory, but I know you had yours mostly made by at least May 27th.
    I kinda miss that early dark grey and white look you had ;) it was pretty funky
    Also I accidentally deleted mine from my browser and I was too depressed at all the lost updates to reinstall it lol

    Well, when this comes out, you'll be able to customize mostly everything without having to fiddle with the CSS. (Not that it would be hard for you to do so. ;))

    Wow, this website has never looked better.
    Skyblock Extras is now released. This style stretches the content so that it fills the screen. You can use it standalone, or you can use it with Dark Moon when it comes out. This really is a must-have for people width wide monitors.
    Yes, I slid in a pun. Now you know it's good! Get it here: Skyblock Extras | Userstyles.org

    More things are coming soon!

    I’m actually pretty surprised. I finished most of Dark Moon in one day. However…
    Ahwowowowowowowowo!
    It appears that my MacBook Pro shuts off halfway into the boot sequence, most likely due to a corrupt file. Disk Recovery doesn’t do anything, and resetting the PRAM also hasn’t had an effect.

    Therefore, this project is… put on hold.
    There, there. It’s okay. Don’t be too sad…

    Edit: Dang. I was right about there being some sort of corruption. It's unfortunate it took so long for me to get my computer fixed.

    Huh. It's been a while, hasn't it? I guess it's time to bump this.
    So I got my MacBook Pro working again. I'm sure the theme is somewhere on here, but I figured I would just rewrite the theme again as I've gotten a lot better at CSS.
    Thus, without further ado, I now introduce to you what I've accomplished in 30 minutes:[​IMG]
    Ta-da! It's going to look a lot better than the previous 2 iterations, or at least the first iteration because I have no idea what the old rewrite looks like anymore.

    I've renamed this dark theme from Dark Moon to Nightblock. I've also renamed Skyblock Extras to Wideblock as I don't think it makes sense to put multiple options under one style instead of releasing them separately so you can toggle each one individually.
