GorbGreenII is reasonably faithful to the original GorbGreen but still a huge transitional change.

The colours and icon shapes remain. The general layout is very similar. However version two has no common code or graphics with the original. It's been rewritten from the ground up.

This being said most of the HTML was rewritten for another purpose another available template named KDM2 which the GorbGreenII structure was based on

So there was never an intention to update Gorbgreen, however KDM2 seemed to fit so well the concept of Gorbgreen that it was an easy thing to do. It is not however KDM2 with different colours. The HTML and Graphics and CSS are significantly different

It's very recognizable as GorbGreen but also very different from the last version. Much neater and tidier. Though no as nice as KDM2 in my opinion.

General Info

Included with the template are language graphics for French, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish. It's plausible more coud be added to the site at some later point. If they are requested.

There's no restrictions on use or editing all I'd ask is that the link to my site (As well as to phpbb) in the footer remains, cheers!

If you change the footer imagery please insert a text link to Jasidog.com and phpbb.com

I'm assuming you know how to install a skin ;)

Making your own header

Included in the GorbGreenII.zip is the folder to install the skin, as well as a folder within this which contains this readme. It also contains a zip file with a logo PSD and a blank logo gif for those without paint shop pro. Evidently you found it or you couldn't be reading this. :-D

It should be noted that if you aim to customise the header much you will need to do a fair bit of work as quite a few different elements (HTML,CSS,IMAGES) all define the appearance currently.

If you have problems or need a bit of help

You can ask here - jasidog forums

Hope you enjoy the template! :)
