Ahh... then you are probably using the Light variant.
No worries, we are here to help out (as well as coding

) with any issue and try to clear any doubt.

Okay, let me explain: each theme can come in different variants (of colors in the default theme) and you can see the variants for example in your profile at:
http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?action=theme;sa=pick
you see the dropdown with "Select Variant".
On this forum, this setting should have value "ElkArte Be Social!", on your it should have "ElkArte Light".

The same goes for the admin panel, when you go to admin > configuration > current theme, in the "Theme Variants" section you will see a dropdown that allows you to pick from Light and Be Social.

Hope that helps, if not feel free to ask for more details.

use this link on your forum to set the template for user and guests
/index.php?action=admin;area=theme;sa=reset

I have decided to have another go of using the Elkarte board instead of my current SMF board. I am still having problems setting up the frozen stars theme. Everything is indicating that the default board should be Elkarte Be Social Theme, which also shows in the preview. But the board remains in the default theme. Any ideas please?

Are you trying this on ElkArte 1.1 or the older 1.0 version?

FYI that preview image is just a screen capture thumbnail of whatever the theme designer chose, its not really a preview :\

For 1.1, here is the file to use., place it in your themes->default->css->_besocial directory.

Also for 1.1 and this is very important, you will need to edit the index_template.php which is in your themes->default directory. In that file find at around line 53

Code: [Select]

		'require_font-awesome' => false,

change the false to true

Code: [Select]

		'require_font-awesome' => true,

I have now managed to get the be-social/frozen stars template operational

Next problem I cannot get the header logo to display correctly, the only option that displays the logo is the "Only logo" option which places the logo in the centre of the header. If I select the "Logo on the left option" (the option that I require) the logo does not display. Any ideas please?

I guess in custom_besocial.css you need to remove these lines:

Code: [Select]

#logo {
 display: none;
}

if it's not working set the logo to left then post a link to your forum

Seems to be working now. Looks like it was a cache issue with Google Chrome.

mmkay, I think I'm getting understanding.

-edit-

You need to name it custom_ and the name of the theme in the folder of the theme and it seems to work

Trying to get the black theme to work but there is something in the file it seems it does not like.
