HOW TO: Get old Kirsch forum theme back!

[amitava82]

Update: Everything at one place.. Here

***************************
UPDATE on June 24, 2009:
* Removed new header and footer ads.

Please download the one that says [NEW]. I've forgotten old account login credentials.

***************************
I've already posted my tutorials here. But as per request I'm creating a new thread so that its easy for new visitors to find what they are looking for.

This script will get get rid of all new weird theme and bring back good old Kirsch theme. It also removes all the ads and Think digit header. This is how it looks:



Tutorial for Firefox:

1. Get stylish extension form here

2. Get the stylish script form here. Click the button that says "load into Stylish". A window will pop up. Click save.

3. Now reload the browser and see the transformation.

Update: I'll update the script time to time. In order to update your script do following:
Go to manage styles (right click stylish icon at bottom) > Find updates and update all. Thats it!

Without Stylish Extension:

1. Get the stylish script form here. Click "Show code", copy and paste the code into a text editor and name it some_file_name.css.

2. Save this file to your firefox profile > Chrome directory.
For windows its stored in \Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\chr ome.
Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
For Linux, its /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/chrome

3. In the chrome directory, create a file named userContent.css. Edit the file and add the following line in it:

@import url("some_file_name.css");

Here some_file_name.css is the css file you have saved before. Save it, restart Firefox.

4. Open digit forum and you will see the changes.

Note: always use Adblocker Plus to save your bandwidth.

Tutorial for Opera:

Opera has inbuilt feature for site specific user stylesheet. This is how you do it:

1. Get the css file from here. Save it somewhere, say opera installation directory > styles.

2. Now open think digit form in Opera. right click anywhere on the page > Edit Site Preferences > Display. Browse your css file. Click OK and reload page



3. Now reload the browser and see the transformation.

Now you no longer have wait till the page loads for the style to be applied. So, you won't see the transformation.

Known bug:

* Opera: a red line beside every "go to last post" button.

Thanks to: hullap (bug report), kalpik(his request to make this script, and bug support), and original kirsch theme developer: Yarub.

Amitava, thanks for all your effort

[GeekyBoy]

Thanks, worked pretty well in Opera 9!

[Hitboxx]

Amitava naab wonderful work, thanks.

[als2]

dude you ROCK

[Vishal Gupta]

Its simply superb.

I have one doubt what will happen if our admins delete the theme folder itself? I think you are using the images from the theme folder. If they are not allowing the theme from drop-down menu, they might totally remove the theme from server. atm they have just disabled it for members.

[FilledVoid]

In simple words. You just plain rock man. My sincere thanks to your work.

[amitava82]

Vishal: I'll use base64 encoding then. No hosting problem..

Just in case he needs some webspace for the images or whatever I believe we IRC users can scrap a bit of space for it . That is , if the above is possible.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Nice.

[QwertyManiac]

Yep, hosting is non-issue, I could provide it myself ( one among the IRC ), who would wish for eyes to spoil?!

[prasad_den]

Thanks.... Works like a charm...!!

@gary4gar: I can't figure out the problem... Everyone can see that little arrow. I tried to increase browser font size, still i can see that arrow. Try following:

* Update the style.
* Change ur FF theme to default and see.
* Check in Opera too.

[adi007]

Using it with monkey( i mean greasemonkey ) in FF...
Thanks a lot buddy..
