Vanilla Kubrick Theme Alpha 1

NOTE: No Longer Available

I'm pleased to announce the first alpha release of my port of the infamous Kubrick theme to the Vanilla Forum software package. It was designed using Vanilla version 0.9.2.6.

I'm releasing this as alpha for three reasons:

1. I only spent a couple hours making it, and while it looks Kubricky, the actual pages are Vanilla......y.
2. I only modified the global.css file, and not the sign-in or sign-out sytles
3. I can't get the damn thing to center in Internet Explorer.

Regarding #3, I currently have it padded so that if you're viewing it on a 1024 monitor, it looks almost centered. However, if you're at 800X600, you'll have to scroll a lot to see the content.

So why am I doing this port? After all, Kubrick is used by all major bloggins systems, and it's getting (IMHO) tiresome. And that's the reason. People still use it. Wordpress' default theme is based on Kubrick. And many people use it, but change the colors and images.

I made this port using the image files from Wordpress Default, right down to the names. So if a user made his or her own images, they can replace the images and have a forum that resembles the rest of their site.

To test the theme, sign into my forum with the username: kubrick and password: demo. (Note: this user has no posting priviledges even though it says you do. --i think this is a bug, not a feature-- ) Due to the lack of anonymous posting, or the difficulty of adding groups of this kind, I've switched from Vanilla to MyBB.
