Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but are there any good tutorials on how to make XOOPS Themes? I currently have a forum and I want to make my site look like the forum. If you could provide me with links to tutorials that would be great. Thanks.

You may want to take a look at the XOOPS For Dummies e-book published by JackJ. I'm pretty sure he has a link or two there as well as covers some of the basics of mod'ing templates.

If you have any familiarity at all with html and CSS, my suggestion would be to open up the theme.html file in an editor [text or something like Dreamweaver] and take a look at the code and start tinkering. The core code of the theme.html file is actually pretty simple. The CSS in the file style.css isn't too difficult either.

Important note: You may want to use a program like XSAS or easyphp to setup a local web server for your tinkering, lest you mess up your production site.

If you need a primer on how to get started with coding, I highly recommendhttp://www.w3schools.com/.

Best of luck!

The two files:

theme.html
style.css

Maybe:
styleNN.css
styleMAC.css

are all you need.

I like to start with a theme that is font and size wise like I want and modify it. I can move and tweak things very quickly and all of the details like padding, margins, font size, etc. are already done. Saves me a lot of time.

The XOOPS Wiki is also a good start very often. You can find it through the menu on the left.
