I’ve been trying to recreate some of the very stripped down simplicity of Vanilla in bbPress (for reasons explained in the zip’s readme file). In thanks to everyone who’s hard work on plugins and in these forums has helped me such a lot, here’s a link to the theme in case it’s of use to anybody; http://getfiles.letsdoo.org/bbVanilla.zip

It’s a very light version of Kakumei Blue, and when (if) I have some time I may strip it even further, whilst retaining its subtle look. Do let me know if you find it useful or encounter any problems or mistakes I’ve made.

Sorry for the double post, but I can’t edit the original now, which sounds a bit apologetic on re-reading. Actually, the theme is pretty good!

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Your reasons have a point. Good work!

[michael3185]

If anyone’s using this, I’ve just added a modified version of bbPM (non-tabular) to the zip file.

[michael3185]

Just updated the theme. Also added a couple of plugins with modified formatting to give a consistent interface on ‘errors’ (eg., user not logged in and can’t access functions like PM).

I like the theme as well.

[michael3185]

Now even better – inspired by Vanilla 2. (Is there not somewhere to upload themes, as with plugins?)

There is no place yet for themes.

Even the theme manager on WordPress.org is a fairly new rewrite.

I’ve put your theme on my theme switcher @ bbShowcase.org

Thank _ck_. It does look, erm, somewhat non-minimalist with all the extra stuff going on though!

I guess I should make a web page for the theme and plugins I’ve modified to suit, post the URL here, then ask an admin to remove the previous posts. Off to play…

[michael3185]

I’ve just created a basic page for my theme and modified plugins at http://getfiles.letsdoo.org

The posts here can be merged/deleted to neaten up as any admin prefers. Thanks.

I like this theme!

[michael3185]

Glad I noticed this post, as I’d just finished updating parts of the theme and related plugins. There are new files at http://getfiles.letsdoo.org

All the latest poster links go directly to /profile and not a user’s profile.

[michael3185]

@massbase, I like the look of your theme too, though I’m not sure what you mean by mine being ‘cluttered’? Did you look at the preview on _ck_’s site? If so, there’s a lot more going on there than my plain forums. See http://mbforum.letsdoo.org

@Ipstenu, you’ve lost me! Could you give me some more details please?

[michael3185]

@Ipstenu: I’ve clicked links all over to try and see what you mean, but the only things going to profiles are the links under poster’s names. Am I missing something obvious?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Michael, I meant massbases’s site, not yours.

[michael3185]

Duh. Too tired to be let loose near a PC.
