Vanilla

If you have a forum hosted at VanillaForums.com, the Custom CSS upgrade is now available. Sign into your forum, go to your dashboard, and click the “Custom CSS” link under “Appearance” in the side menu. You can start previewing css customizations before purchasing the upgrade.

We put a lot of work into this one, and we hope you like it. We also created a Custom CSS help page that includes frequently asked questions, as well as examples of common css customizations, and tips & tricks.

Today we launched a new theme for VanillaForums.org with a much needed increase in contrast over the last one. We had a lot of fun making this theme, and we think it’s a good indicator for how much you can change the look & feel of Vanilla without making many changes to the xhtml. This theme, for example, only required that we edit the default.master.php master view. Every other view throughout Garden, Vanilla, and Conversations remained unchanged. We hope you like it!
