Hello NightRider,
I have got a new MOD from phpbbhacks.com and it is v.small mod in which is having only 1 file and in that also I am getting 1 error. The MOD author had done many mistakes like instead of writing subSilver he wrote SubSilver and for subSilver.css file he wrote css file!
I fixed everything but the MOD is still unable to install. It is giving me error. I have given the MOD script here so you can see what is the error in it.

That MOD doesn't make any sense. Apparently no one at phpBBHacks.com reviews these MODs before allowing them into their database...
This will do what you want. But for this to work, you will need to edit the background file in the MOD script to match the filename that you plan to use. Also, it is possible that the modification to the overall_header.tpl file may not work for all templates on your board. So if you see warning errors for alternate templates, you can ignore them...

I changed the bg of posting box and we made similar type of shoutbox bg which looks quite good. I am waiting for half an hour to get changed in posting box  but it is same pink color hahahaha.
I might have done something wrong which i don't think so or might be it's my ISP problem which is always a big problem for everyone here.  |

It doesn't take a half our for the changes to take effect. Apparently you modified the wrong thing or forgot to save the changes because the shocking pink background image is still being displayed in the message window...
Ok, the problem is that the message window is using the setting from the overall_headeer.tpl file. So after correcting the assignment there, the message image is displaying properly...

oOops. Overall_header.tpl! I just changed the bg url from subSilver.css as i did earlier for pink background.
Yeah, it is changed now. So again if i want to change the bg so i should go to overall_header or subSilver.css |

I don't know why, but the phpBB developers included style information in both the subSilver overall_header.tpl and subSilver.css files. So that can be confusing simce it isn't immediately obvious where subSilver is retrieving the style information. So for you, you may need to adjust both the subSilver.css and overrall_header.tpl files whenever adjusting style information...

I'm not aware of any way to use Flash movies for the background. It may be possible, but I have never seen it done...
