Question I need a unique design.

Like I said. Easy to do. Just a lot of work depending on how many different unique looks you will require. You have yet to say.

well umm i need one for each color that shocktrooper has....I think thats six.

So 6 "unique" skins for your site for free?

As GM said its fairly simple to do. Why don't you use a neutral dark template that will match your site background and remove the font colors and change to suit your template's "6" colors. There are a few templates out there already that'll give you a good starting point (most of the time-consuming work is done for you)
The Black Dragon
MOC 2.0
The Dark Army Kunena Template
- then just use firebug to change what you need

lol I am not expecting anything for free though it would be nice. I was more or less seeing if anyone could do it. How much it might cost. And if nobody could do it I was wondering how I might make this work so it automatically changes with the rest of the site from user-end view changing the template.

Quick question though. This is where I get kind of confused. Since I need the forums to automatically change with the rest of the template how should I go about doing that. I figured if I had the needed data within the joomla template it would automatically read off that as that is kinda how I did it before. However when you include pictures that will make it difficult to me since I am not sure how to make it know what pictures to use. All in all I will figure it out just wanted to see who might be able to help me do it.



Edit btw Mock 2.0 would be perfect I have one question though are there any images that I would need to recreate colors for. If not it would make my job super easy as all I would need to do is have it change one image and the font colors.

As i said this is as straightforward as you'd like it to be - I really suggest 1 template rather than 6 different stylesheets and image sets - less work

In the css remove to font link colour and hover attributes - this should revert to using the joomla! css

Then change the folder.gif; folder_nonew.gif; folder_s.gif; folder_nonew_s.gif images to a neutral colour maybe grey or white
