| I know there's no simple answer to this but just maybe someone's discovered a trick to get around this problem. I like the purple look of the Realm theme and just wish I could somehow transfer it to the PNphpbb forum. The forum has a dark grey look that I don't particularly like. |

Ok. I installed it and I love it! Thank you for sharing that. It doesn't change the grey furfaces I was referring to but by adding all the purple icons it makes the forum look like it was meant to go together with the portal and that goes a long way.
This is what it looks like now: My new PNphpbb forum look
By the way, this upload killed the PNphpbb icon in the forum admin screen. It's no biggie but I figured the folks at PNphpbb might not like that. I also noticed an icon on the "who's online" block went by the wayside and the empty spot doesn't look good.
Any suggestion on how to make the grey slabs a different color would be appreciated. |

/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */
.row1{background:#272727}
.row2{background:#303030}
.row3{background:#414141}
td.spacerow{background:#343434}
And you can turn off the pnphpbb icon in the admin section for it. |

Although I'm a PC programmer, I'm fairly new to this web development stuff. How do I locate that "Main table" and how do I go about changing those values?
Thanks again |

Searching a little I found those fields in PNTheme.css and changed the 000000 values for those you suggested. It did zip, nada, not a thing , even after pressing F5 and Ctrl F5. Did I do something wrong?
This is how my PNTheme.css file now stands:
/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */
td.row1{background:#272727}
td.row2{background:#303030}
td.row3{background:#414141}
td.spacerow{background:#343434}
I created a new style from that css file and chose it from my profile and one of the backgrouds went to black. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong  |

Ok. This is what my realm.css looks like now in that section:
/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */
.row1{background:#272727}
.row2{background:#303030}
.row3{background:#414141}
td.spacerow{background:#343434}
It still makes no difference
No matter what I do, it seems the only theme available to me is PNTheme. I tried creating a new style from the realm.css file but that didn't do anything. When I choose "Add a style" from the style management menu, there's no style to add.
I know I'm revealing my noobness for all the world to see but I'd really like to understand how .css files work and how I can put that modified realm.css file to use. Perhaps if I rename it to default.css? |

The following four files are missing from the realmforum.zip file:
whosonline.gif
icon_minipost.gif
icon_latest_reply.gif
logo_small.gif
You can copy them from:
\PNphpBB2\templates\PNTheme\images
to:
\PNphpBB2\templates\PNTheme\images\realm
I found the whosonline.gif didnīt match so I just made a copy of \realm\folder.gif and renamed it whosonline.gif |

Those colors are the same as the ones you had in there.
Change those to whatever colors you want them to be. |

Hmm....these were the original values (in realm.css):
/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */
.row1{background:#000000}
.row2{background:#120114}
.row3{background:#120114}
td.spacerow{background:#343434}
I figure there should have been some noticeable change. |

Do you have theme matching turned on in the PNphpBB2 admin?
If so turn it off for a test. |
