This is something that may help out:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/customization/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/customization/</a></p> <p>As well, here is my little workaround for themes. </p> <p>1) If you change templates files out of bb-templates/ folder, make sure you save the changes into the my-templates folder. That way, you can delete the file in the my-templates folder and bbPress will go back to working with the original file out of the bb-templates folder.</p> <p>2) If you are not sure what style tags are being used on a page, I like to look at the 'source' of the page in my browser. Gives great clues on what you should be looking for when later editing the global stylesheet.</p> <p>3) header.php includes all the information for calling meta information, CSS sheets, javascript scripts, etc.</p> <p>4) footer.php has the information for credits, ending style tags from above, etc.</p> <p>5) front-page.php is where the bulk of information that is produced on the main page is. This is where you can arrange what information is shown and where</p> <p>6) style.css is the main stylesheet for how bbPress looks on every single page. It is actually layed out pretty well in terms of how each page is in bbPress</p> <p>7) post.php is for individual posts and reply forms for those posts.</p> <p>When we have a better and easier template system, it will be much simple for the end users, but please be patient as we try and get it working for you!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-2014 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 03:49:33 +0000 ardentfrost 2014@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Just go to front-page.php in your templates folder and change where it says "Main Theme" to "Main Forum" </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-2012 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 02:07:41 +0000 suleiman 2012@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>yeah, i've been trying to figure out how to change the "Main Theme" text to "Main Forum" for the longest time. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-1979 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 11:33:55 +0000 spencerp 1979@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@talkaboutdesign, wow, that's nice!

Not template or CSS themes like wordpress themes. Kind of a silly naming convention if you ask me. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-955 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 19:45:41 +0000 talkaboutdesign 955@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>i will be releasing my template for bbpress pretty soon. check out <a href="http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/</a></p> <p>to stay updated. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-953 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 19:12:51 +0000 peiqinglong 953@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You make a directory inside of bbpress directory called my-templates and copy the contents of bb-templates into there and modify the files. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-create-new-themes-not-topics#post-951 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:52:59 +0000 pazcu 951@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't see any where where I can do that.
