Yes. And I'm Kosheh, a poster on the Spriter's Resource posting on November 26th.
"We have since redesigned the forum" is a poor excuse when Afresh Holiday was a remixed theme to begin with whipped up in time for the holidays. You're switching out assets on a forum, not performing angioplasty on a horse.
I'm the one who customized the assets on the Apart themes, after all, and I can tell you from prior experience that it's not particularly difficult. Here's how I'd do it, in a nice, condensed list:
- Take the Apart Flame theme (coder talk for "Spriter's Resource" variant of the "VG Resource" theme)
- Make a cute holiday banner (snowman preferred, very secular)
- Change link classes on URLs to be dark green when active (like sounds resource), hovers dark grey, visited a dark red
- Replace the index marker icons with ornaments (and desaturate them for the "read" notification)
- Change the background property of #content to a nice, subtle background (preferably snowflakes)
- Add an extra few lines of code to insert a snowman underneath the user details in postbit (you can lift this from Afresh Holiday if you still have it) or perhaps Javascript snow
- Ho Ho Ho Look At That Holiday Theme
i mean, i did.
and who says you personally have to do it, you can have petie or gors do it (judging from the topic, it sounds like gors wouldn't mind if he had a little time to work on it)
