Good day,

I have installed the theme, realy like it! Realy responsive on my phone, wil be a great deal for my community. There comes the but :P, I have installed http://phpbbsocialnetwork.com/ a social platform for Phpbb3, and the theme is not compatible with it, okey didnt expect it :P but i would like it to be :D.

The Activity page like it is now, is just a page with everything below eachother, tabs, modules and stuff are not on the place were normaly prosilver_style has them, like on the printscreens from phpbbsocialnetworks.

There is a extra page “activitypage.php”, i quess i have to connect the stylesheet from Metro in anyway.. Ok i know my way in css, but to connect them, i realy dont now, i am playing with the files a while but cannot figure it out.

I hope you could join in the social platform, or help me in any other way :)

Thanx

I think this is a common problem within, the “Social” program. Did not work with my prosilver to so or i did something wrong or its theirs. Hope i will get it work with your great theme!

Hello,

Thank you for the purchase and for the good words. We are glad you like our work!

Yes, phpbbsocialnetwork has some style issues because it’s using own css-rules. And the original Metro css-styles are included in it – you just have to change some css-rules to match the main theme.

If you still have any difficulties or questions, feel free to contact us via our profile page!

Gah!!! I wish you had a MyBB version of this. I love MyBB but all the themes, including “premium” ones, have design quirks that just ruin the entire experience (they all feel like 1995 design schemes or modern-”ish” themes with strange and unpleasing quirks). I’ve been trying to customize a few with different ones but as I’m a bookie type of guy and in no way artsy, my iterations keep coming out amateurish and weird. Metro’s design is just so perfectly modern, the mobile version is great, and I think as a last resort I may have to trash the idea of MyBB and go for phpBB…

You’ll get a purchase from me soon, I bet.

So that explains the backwardness!

Yes, we can try to rebuild the html-structure, but for many users it will be quite difficult to install some mods then.

OK, there’s really no question that this is the most visually appealing and functional theme ever. I look forward to using it!

Thank you for the purchase! We are glad you chose our work. Feel free to contact us if you need any assistance :)

PixelGoose, would you please help me align the logo?

I need help on the installation. I uploaded it to styles and I see it in there but when i click install it says Cannot find style on filesystem.

Hmmm nevermind for some reason it’s not even showing the edited one as an option. The one I was loading is the default metro_red theme with the #b21a41 even though I never uploaded the original metro_red to my styles folder.

Did you try to clear the theme cache? You can do it here: ACP – Styles – Style Components – Themes – YOUR_THEME – Refresh

Yup got it! Thanks so much!

Hello, Presale Question. i have some question, I would like to purchase the theme but is mobile style support notifications ? likes .. PM and topic prefix ? on mobile or table viewing ?

how about topic prefix ? have any screenshot ? thanks.

Do you mean a mod like this? – https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/topic_prefix_mod/

Yes, it’s also possible to implement.

I don’t know much about phpBB3. I would like to purchase the theme but was wondering if it comes in an HTML version.

...in order to use with another system.

Hello,

Sorry, but this is only a phpbb3 theme. We don’t have an html-version.

Hi,

Is it possible to edit the link buttons’ names (e.g. replace “news” for something else)?

Hello,

The icons are stored in the following file -

images/metro/COLOR_THEME/misc/nav-icons-bg.png.

It’s a sprite (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp). The PSD-file containing the icons is called “nav-icons.psd”. You can add own icons to the sprite and assign them to the tabs you want using css-rules. All the css-rules for the tabs can be found in the ‘additional.css’ template of your theme.

That is you should just add extra 120px (for each icon) into ‘nav-icons-bg.png’ and then assign it via css.

Thanks a lot for the information. I must confess I am completely unskilled in this whole thing.

Would it be possible for me to hire you to add a couple links in the header of my forum? I guess I could learn from that.

Please contact us via our profile page!

hi,

i’ve got one question more :)

I use the board with an fullscreen background and it looks amazing. My Problem is, that the header logo and the navigation quarters have an space which ist complete white, and that looks not so nice. Also the same problem i have with the prefooters, the have also a white space between the left and the right side. Could you help me, where i can change this to transparent?

Here you can take a look: http://cruze-forum.de thanks a lot.

Hi! In which file is the text for the titlebar, so I can change it from “yourdomain.com” to my website’s name?

Hello,

You can change it in the AdminCP – just edit you forum name there in the settings.

Sorry, meant to say metro is not default style yet as theres a few things i need to fix/sort first

Could you please create an account for me and send login/pass via the contact form?

No probs

Do you have a fix for the ‘mark forums read’ text from overlapping/showing the mark forum read icon when viewed from mobile device?

Hello,

Could you show a screenshot of the issue?

Will have to add img in new post, its not working in reply

Hello, Nice theme and I am considering buying it. Does the regular license purchase come with the full source code for the theme?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest.

When you buy the theme, you get the theme in phpbb3 template format and all the graphics in psd-format.

Hello I am trying to adjust the Logo size for this theme could you give me any hints to what it would be called and what css file i would access ? Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thank you for the purchase!

It’s described in the documentation. And don’t forget to refresh the imageset!

Hi, I love the look of this theme and I am highly considering purchasing it.

Is there any plan to add retina ready icons and buttons. I think this will really make the theme even more fantastic.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest. Yes, we plan to add retina support.

Just a suggestion concerning the available social media networks that can be placed in the prefooter area. Are there any plans to make graphics that fit in with the theme for other networks like Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, etc?

I’m considering making my own or finding a reasonable similar set of graphics and customizing the CSS to my needs, but it would be even nicer if they were officially supported. :D

Hello,

Yes, we plan to add other social icons too)

HI, fantastic style, thanks.

I have sent you a couple of messages but i now have another problem.

I have a custom Game Reviews mod which lets members rate and review ps3 games. on my previous style, supernova, it looked fantastic, however after importing my game_review.css into the stylesheet.css all my H3(headings) text, fonts and sizes text wont inherit, even though i have rules for them in my css, they stay the same as the main styles, i never had this problem with supernova, its as though its ignoring my css file. Any ideas??

Hello,

Can I have a look at your forum code? You can send me a link via our profile page.

Hi, message sent, thanks.

Very nice theme! I think it’s the best phpBB theme on the market anywhere.

I have a question concerning the layout size that appears than a phone is viewing the forum. The logo can be no wider than about 230 pixels before it starts overlapping the button that shows the “FAQ” and “Member” links. For example this looks good on a mobile device, but way too small on a desktop: http://i.imgur.com/KIFD4JJ.png

This looks good on the desktop, but looks bad on a mobile device: http://i.imgur.com/yJyLWXl.png

However, on a screen that is any larger than a phone, for example an iPad or a full sized laptop / desktop monitor, that size logo is very small. Is it possible to make the logo area in such a way that causes the thumb button to work around the logo if the logo is large?

Hello PixelGoose , sorry for disturbing you again. I have a issue

I am using this at http://ihaveatab.com/ where i want to make the sidebar 165-175 , How can i do this, I have try responsive.css but i think its tooooo difficult . is there any easy way to do it.

Hello,

Do you want to decrease the sidebar width? You should find the following lines in the ‘common.css’ template -

#sidebar {
    float: left;
    width: 252px;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
}
#page-body-inner {
    float: left;
    width: 916px;
    margin-right: 12px;
}

Just change the ’#sidebar’ width and don’t forget to increase ’#page-body-inner’ width respectively.

hi, my board is finished with your style. looks awesome! try a look: http://cruze-forum.de

one question, is it possible to change the redirect from the login_box? I’ve changed the UCP.PHP and all logins are working fine, only the login_box popup redirect to the index php, i like a redirect to blog.php.

thanks for your help.

Hello,

Thank you for the purchase!

is it possible to change the redirect from the login_box? I’ve changed the UCP
The login box has the default redirect. Look here, it may be useful for you – http://www.ktuk.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=2414
