##This File Is Best To Be Read With WordWrap OFF!

Dear madam/sir


First of all, THANK YOU for choosing and downloading a product of FiXato. We always try to achieve the highest Quality possible and hope that you will have lots of fun with this product!

The product you have downloaded is a re-release of the FiXato ThemePack#2 and is created by Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter.
It contains themes for use in a XMBForum (version 1.5 and above).
The themes that use the 'nature/'-folder use images created by XMBForum.com
The themes that use the 'dr/'-folder use images created by Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter.

The following themes are included in this package:
'Digital Revolution' which uses all images in the 'fixato/dr'-folder (this theme was previously re-released in ThemePack#3)
'BlueIsh' which uses all images in the 'fixato/dr'-folder
'SkyBlue' which uses all images in the 'fixato/nature'-folder (this theme was never released before. But to add something new to this re-release we added it just for you!)
'AcidGreen' which uses all images in the 'fixato/nature'-folder (this theme was never released before. But to add something new to this re-release we added it just for you!)

Screenshot of the themes in this package will be available soon on our Downloadpage. You can find an up-to-date link to this downloadpage at http://fixato.co.uk

##NOTE FOR PREVIOUS USERS OF THE FiXato THEMEPACK#2
The First Release of our FiXato Themepack#2 had a different directory-structure. If you want to switch to this re-release, it is adviced to remove the themes from your board, delete the 'DigitalRev/'-directory from your images directory and follow the installation instructions.
This re-release was necessary because 1.8 uses extra images and because we have created several BoardLogos. We also want to re-promote these themes :)

##NOTE FOR USERS OF THE FiXato THEMEPACK#1
If you plan to install the FiXato Themepack#1 (available at our downloadpage), then take notice of the 'nature/'-directory.
In the new directory-structure of themepack#1 we decided to add several themes to the 'nature/'-themedirectoy.
Since the re-release of ThemePack#2 also has a 'nature/'-directory you might ask yourself if you can overwrite the files.
What you need to do is just copy all files from the 'nature/'-directory of ThemePack#2 to the 'nature/'-directory of ThemePack#1 without overwriting.
This will add the ThemePack#2-specific images to your nature-directory.
If your files have been overwritten, then no worry, they should be the same...

--= How To Install The FiXato Themes In XMB 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8? =--
##Step 1: Uploading
First make sure your webserver is running and that you have access to the directory in which your XMBForum is installed.
Now start your favorite FTP-program (eg. SmartFTP, FlashFXP, CuteFTP, WS_FTP or even Internet Explorer 4 and above), open a connection to your webserver adn browse to your Forum-directory.
Next go to your themes directory (standard is 'images/').
If you plan not to install all themes, then Create a New Directory called 'fixato' and open this new directory and Copy the folders of the themes you wish to install (ie. 'dr' and/or 'nature' see list above for needed folders) to the open directory ('images/fixato/'). OR if you want to install all themes, then instead of first creating a new folder 'fixato', just copy the entire 'fixato' folder from this archive to the images-directory 'images/'.

##Step 2: Installing
Now go to your Forum's Admin Panel. To be able to login to the Admin panel of your XMBForum you should at least have the rank of 'Administrator'.
If you are an 'Super Administrator', then I suggest you use the 'Upgrade'-tool located in your Admin Panel, because using the themeimporter sometimes does not work (resulting in empty themes...), this is a general XMB Problem to which I am currently looking into.
If you are in the Upgrade-page, then use your favorite ASCII-editor ('notepad', 'wordpad', 'UltraEdit', 'textpad', etc) to open the .SQL-file(s) of the requested theme(s). You can also open the 'FiXatoThemesPack3.sql'-file if you wish to import all themes. Now copy all the text inside the open .sql-file(s) and copy it into your upgrade panel. And submit the data by clicking on the button. ***NOTE*** if you have changed your tableprefix, then you should first change 'xmb_' to your current prefix (eg. 'myBoard_') in the SQL-queries that you have copied! ***
However, if you are only an 'Administrator' you only have the option to install the new theme(s) by importing the themefiles via the ThemeImporter which is located in Your Forum -> Administration Panel -> Themes. Use 'Choose' to browse to the directory where the .xmb files of the requested themes are located. They are all located in the root of this Package and also in the directories to which they apply (ie. 'images/fixato/dr/', 'images/fixato/tv/' and 'images/fixato/tv2/').

##Step 3: Testing
Now go to your profile in your 'Configuration Panel / Options' on your board and select the new installed themes.

##Another Way Of Installing
We have also included our experimental SQL-themes importer in this package.
To use it, you have to copy the 'SQLthemesImporter.php'-file to your Forum Root-Director (eg. 'forum/') and create a new directory 'sqlthemes/' in the Forum Root-Directory. In this 'sqlthemes/'-directory you have to upload the SQL-files included in this package.
Now go to 'your forum'/SQLthemesImporter.php (where 'your forum' is the URL of your forum ^_^) and select the themes you wish to install (use SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple themes) and hit 'Submit'
Now the script will extract the SQL-code from the files. No need to do any other thing except test the installed themes.
***NOTE*** this script can also execute other SQL-code and can therefor be used mailicous. This script may be unsafe! It has not extensively been tested for vulnerabilities and is therefor in BETA-stage. The Use of this Script is at OWN RISK! It is Adviced to remove this script if you are finished installing the themes!!!


--= Tweaking The Themes =--
There are some ways to tweak these Themes.
To do this, you must go to your Admin Panel->Themes
Now click on 'Details' of the theme you wish to tweak.
You will now be taken to the details screen of the selected themes.
Here you can see all the color-codes used for the theme and the Category-images used.

##Section 1: Changing the Category-backgrounds
For every theme we have created 6 different Category-backgrounds. To switch between them, you just have to change the number suffix of the 'Category Color'.
For example, you wish to change the standard cat-bg of the acidGreen-theme. Just change the 5 in 'AG_cat5.gif' into a number between 1 and 6, for example, change it into 'AG_cat6.gif'.
Now hit the Submit Changes-button at the bottom, and the category background has been changed.

##Section 2: Changing the Board Font
Another thing that can be easily editted is the 'Font'.
For example, you want to use 'Courier' instead of 'Verdana', well then just change 'Verdana' into 'Courier' and hit the Submit Changes-button again ;)

##Section 3: Changing the Board Logo
If you want to use your own logo, the best thing to do is to save it in the forum directory (eg. 'images/fixato/nature/') and change the 'Board Logo URL' to reflect the new name of the logo.
For example you have created a new logo using the PNG-format with the name 'logo.png'.
Then upload 'logo.png' to your theme-directory (if you are using a 'Nature'-theme this is 'images/fixato/nature/')
and set the 'Board Logo URL' to 'logo.png'

That was about it, for more info on Tweaking your forum, have a look at the XMBForum website (http://www.xmbforum.com/) or the XMBForum Community (http://www.xmbforum.com/community/boards/)

We hope you will enjoy our products!
