Been a bit since I put a theme together, so here is a new one. Called it lazy day since that's how I feel .. always :P
A light theme with shades of grey and blue, larger fonts and more contrast in text in some areas. The board index layout has changed for a cleaner look. The message index is redone to show the avatar first, and move topic page navigation to a single area. The topic display has an updated poster area where some items that were normally hidden in the drop down have been exposed. Has a slider quick login bar and a expanding search menu to jazz things up a bit.
Few other things here and there, I'm sure there are bugs, but

Nice work. Thanks :)
I like it. It's clean and simple without being too, ahem, green.
Green is never enough! :P
If I puke on your shoes, will you agree that you've been wrong all along?
I like the attachment (is it ILA or something?). By the way, can we add like to each attachment, somehow?
Looks good! Know you have to change the buttons a bit too. ;)
Themes looks nice, will try working with the theme.
Which ones in particular, and do you have suggestions O:-)
All the buttons. :D
Maybe give them the same border as the author info in the post screenshot has. They don't really fit to the rest, IMO. O:-)
The packing need slight modification, when installed, all files goes to
\themes\Elk_Theme_LazyDay-master\Elk_Theme_LazyDay-master
instead of
\themes\Elk_Theme_LazyDay-master\
So the theme doesn't work till you move all the files to the second path.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll get it fixed.
@Spuds How to change the color of mobile icon, it looks little dull in my mobile. So i want it little bright
in the index_grey.css file you will find a section that says
[data-icon]:before {
In there will be a color: #xxxxxx; change that to say #CCC; or #DDD;
@Spuds Thanks a lot, finally figured the settings. And now it is good.
@Spuds , which font did you use on this theme ?
Where is fa icons present, i want to change few fa icons in post section.
And in the footer i need a facebook fa icon, i tried this http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2386.msg15693#msg15693 but it shows an error
This one uses google Open Sans webfonts, if you look in its index.template you will find
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">';
which are the standard, demi-bold and bold fonts + italic variations.
You will have to look in the CSS, search for "font-family: 'FontAwesome';" those will have a content: tag like content: "\f05a"; you will find the content code for the icons from font awesomes website.
I've fix a few things over the last couple of days on this theme and pushed a couple of updates as well.
@Spuds Thanks, i have modified your theme version slightly and i will post the new look soon :) That's why so many queries :D
Cool ... Its free and open so do what you like with it :D Looking forward to what you have come up with !
Just the preview of my small cosmetic changes
Very well done. That was the kind of theme I was looking for and couldn' t find before modifying Silence.
wow, i will try it on my forum
@Spuds ! This is similar in color scheme with my current theme but looks better. :)
Edit:
Found problems, in the demo the icons for info and online area pictures (png) but in the demo using font awesome. thus it returns 404 not found. is there any settings for this?
and
maybe there is something wrong, but is there a setting for user profile position in discussion? is not on the left side but on the above. you can see it in my forum.
Edit2:
When I clicked the picture in attachments it's not displayed to bigger size and stays as thumbnail.
/me feels
@Spuds is slacking a bit supporting his themes .:P
By chance, do you have the theme live somewhere? Just to avoid having to install another forum for testing the theme.
/me wonders how difficult would be to set up a demo site pulling the packages from the github repo...
/me likes this idea very much...
/me thinks demo site will be awesome
Sorry ... its those darn edits, they don't re-flag a message as unread
I've seen the second issue in the PM area because I forgot to push that template, I'll have to check on the other issues, had not seen those.
Other than the attachment zoom issue, I was not able to reproduce what you are seeing. Please make sure you have all of the template files for this theme in its theme directory and that they are accessible.
thanks
@Spuds ! Mostly fixed all issues I found. :)
Edit:
Hi
@Spuds , can you point me the example topic with picture attachment? I tried to find it yesterday but didn't find any. :( I want to see how the picture will be displayed when clicked, because it's still too small in my forum. the behavior is different with the default theme.
I need help in fixing the menu, instead of the drop down menu in Community. I want Community and Other - where the dropdowns should be listed.
So you want to change the text of the button from "Community" to "Community and Other"?
Open your themes/default/languages/english/Addons.english.php and add this string at the end:
$txt['community'] = 'Community and Other';
@emanuele Sorry that i didn't explained clearly. Instead of Community text having the drop down menus i want another text to have it.
My current scenario, Community (with its dropdown menus), new posts, new replies
What i wanted, Community, new posts, new replies, Misc (with dropdown menus)
(Similar to what we have in Elkarte (Home, Community), i want Home, Misc (with dropdown)
Ahhh... okay, I got it wrong. :P
http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=1114.msg7919#msg7919
This addon is the one we are using here, you can install it and then modify to suit your needs, for example if you want the button after "new replies", you could change
$buttons = elk_array_insert($buttons, 'home', array(
'base' => array(
'title' => $txt['home_btn'],
'href' => $parsed['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed['host'] . (!empty($parsed['port']) ? ':' . $parsed['port'] : '') . '/',
'data-icon' => '',
'show' => true,
'action_hook' => true,
),
));
to:
$buttons = elk_array_insert($buttons, 'unreadreplies', array(
'base' => array(
'title' => $txt['home_btn'],
'href' => $parsed['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed['host'] . (!empty($parsed['port']) ? ':' . $parsed['port'] : '') . '/',
'data-icon' => '',
'show' => true,
'action_hook' => true,
),
), 'after');
}
Thanks emanuele!.
Anyone using this theme? any issues with them?
@Spuds I want the color to fade away and only the last child should have the grey color. How to do it?
I think its the linktree after and you should be able to modify for the first child i.e. for home icon.
I did try, but instead of the sharp image (>) it goes blunt (|)
=======================================================
By the way i have edited the CSS and have added the files here. Do test it if you want and share your feedback
I have done something to my linktree css as well but that is not properly finished. Currently, I am still playing with multiple php setup. I will look back into this once I have finished / tired of playing with it.
I'm reporting a display problem. After updating to 1.0.9 in mobile view there is no rank bar and the member role in the forum.
I did take a look at this ... its not specific to 1.0.9. Those elements being hidden is a result of a media query, not 1.0.9
I did make some media query "tweaks" to improve things a bit, so try out the latest
released version on github and see if that improves things for you (of course only do this if you have not done your own edits to the css files)
how i missed this reply, updated but it looks like it still missing from my phone (redmi note 3 pro), maybe the phone screen resolution smaller?
-
and the theme still not compatible with patch 1.0.10 or is it safe to ignore?
Hi
@Spuds I see there are some new commits to LazyDay: https://github.com/Spuds/Elk_Theme_LazyDay/
Should I wait for released package?
Thanks.
I'll get the update out in a couple of days, have one more thing that I may tweak.
If you have not installed 1.0.10, do so and ignore any errors you get when installing that update it in this theme. When I get the update one you will just overwrite the existing files.
Can I ask if you create a dark version of it O wO?
Any chance an updated version will come out??
@Spuds font awesome is not working, how to fix it?
How to rectify this error?
I am trying to use Lazy Day them in Version 1.1.3, and when i visit the profile i get this error.
This theme is not compatible with elkarte 1.1.x.
Yeah I've been trying to get that one updated for 1.1, attached is as far as I've gotten so far ... Not sure it will fix the bug you see or not (yet).
ETA added newer version below:
@Spuds my bad, i should have contacted you first before start working on the theme. :o
I was working on re-designing the theme in the middle i found the issues.
Now i need to re-work the CSS again... Thanks for the files, it fixed most of the issues. I don't know what else is need to be fixed. I will update this thread if i find a bug.
Thanks ... I've been very slow in getting my themes updated ... some are easy and some like this one are a bit more involved.
@Spuds so i can go ahead and start re-designing the theme again? Or is there any updation left?
Let me see what changes 1.1.4 may require and I'll upload a new file, it should then be good to go
ETA attached 1.1.4 tweaks as needed
ETA See later posts for an even newer version
@Spuds Thank you so much, that was really quick. I will check and update you!
Oh thank you, I just installed ElkArte and this theme and had the same problem, until I downloaded the updated version you posted here.
Is it compatible with 1.1.5?
For 1.1.5 you need to use the version uploaded at reply #52 (https://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=3603.msg37832#msg37832)
@TaliaJoy what is the name of your custom file and where did you paste the custom file?
@Jason It is in the css/_grey directory within the theme directory.
Ok and the name of the css file? And did you include the entire content of index_grey.css in the custom file?
custom.css is the name. I did not include the entire content of index_grey.css within the custom.css file and I'm not sure why I would.
It should not be named custom.css, it should be named using the entire css name for which you are doing custom work.
in your case it should custom_grey.css that should be the file name
Ex:
index_light.css
custom_light.css
index_grey.css
custom_grey.css
Thanks, I was almost positive I already tried calling it custom_grey.css, but I'll try it again later in case I'm mistaken.
@Spuds when the theme is viewed in mobile, the search box with search icon is seen underneath the account menu and it is frozen (not able to click or do any action). How to fix it.
(Link-6330)
Looks like there are some other issues with the mobile icons ... I'll get a fix together and post it here.
Ok, i will wait for it.
Spuds i know you are busy, any hint on where to look. I can see whether i can fix it.
update for elkarte version 1.1 attached.
Thanks Spuds for updating the theme, i have already installed the theme can i just overwrite the files or do a fresh install?
Do a fresh install and then remove the old theme and its directory. I had to make a change in this latest update and now it will be looking for files in the /themes/elk_theme_lazydays_11 directory.
It breaks up the index page ordering and the page looks so different in mobile view.
I used your search_form CSS code and added to my existing theme :)
Glad something worked for you.
Nice theme, looks nice, will try working with this theme.
Point taken! I'll update the date soon (since I have to push a few changes as well)
@Spuds When i inspect element my theme i get the following error.
(Link-6431)
That sounds like the file may have been uploaded as an ascii file and it should be binary.
I've attached that file in the attached zip, just extract that archive in your themes/elk_theme_lazydays_11/webfonts directory (over writing the existing fontawesome-webfont.woff2 file) ... or if you want you can extract that locally and then FTP it to that directory, but be sure to do so in binary mode.
If that does not work, then I'd then say its a config issue on your server, where the server mime type is wrong for woff2 files.
I didn't use the file, but the issue is no more now. Maybe i will keep checking and see if the issue pops up.
