Name: Flux
Author: ForumSpark
Version: 1.0.0

Live Preview (No Sidebar) / Live Preview (Sidebar)

Get the theme files from: https://github.com/forumspark/flux-theme/releases/tag/1.0.0

Installation instructions:

1. Create a new theme in your admin area
2. Untoggle the option to inherit from the default editor
3. Edit the stylesheet and copy the stylesheet over (theme.css)
4. Copy the guest.html into the Guest Layout section of the theme -> Admin CP / Themes / Edit Layout
5. Depending on the version you want to use copy either layout.html or layout_sidebar.html over to the Layout for the theme

Theme images can be found here: https://github.com/forumspark/flux-theme/tree/master/assets

To change the header image you will need to edit the theme layout and replace the SVGs

<svg class="h-8 text-zinc-950 block dark:hidden" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 194 91">...</svg>
<svg class="h-8 text-white hidden dark:block" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 194 91">....</svg>

I suggest you upload your light / dark header images to your file manager then replace the above with

<img src="LIGHT_LOGO_URL" class="h-8 block dark:hidden" />
<img src="DARK_LOGO_URL" class="h-8 dark:block hidden" />

As usual if you spot any bugs / issues with the theme, let me know here and I'll get it updated.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to design and share themes for ForumSpark. A fresh, well-crafted theme can completely transform the look and feel of a board, and your contributions help make that possible for the entire community.

While we welcome all creative styles, we do ask that submissions meet a certain standard to ensure consistency and usability across the platform.

Before sharing your theme, please keep the following in mind:

• Fully functional & tested - No broken layouts or major UI issues

• No “default” leftovers - Avoid obvious missing styling or unfinished areas

• Clean and user-friendly design - Prioritize readability and usability

• Avoid bad practices - Excessive hardcoding and !important usage should be kept to a minimum

• Provide previews - Include clear screenshots or, ideally, a live demo board

• Include key details - Compatibility, features, and any special requirements

High-quality themes benefit everyone and help build a stronger, more polished ecosystem.

Thank you,

-ForumSpark Team

First of all, thank you for considering building and contributing to ForumSpark. It’s always great to see new ideas and functionality being shared with the community.

While we strongly encourage contributions of all kinds, maintaining a certain level of quality is important for everyone using ForumSpark. Well-built extensions not only improve individual boards, but also help strengthen the ecosystem as a whole.

Before publishing your extension, please take a moment to carefully review our documentation: https://docs.forumspark.net/api/

To keep things smooth and useful for everyone, here are a few simple rules:

• Follow the API/JS standards - Extensions should align with our documented structure and practices.

• Keep it stable - Avoid releasing unfinished or highly experimental builds.

• No duplicate functionality - Check existing extensions before posting something similar.

• Provide clear details and previews - Include a proper description, features, and usage instructions including a preview through a test board.

• Respect performance - Extensions should not negatively impact board speed or stability.

• Keep it maintained - If you publish it, be prepared to support and update it.

This will help ensure your work follows best practices, remains compatible, and delivers a smooth experience for board owners.

Thank you,

-ForumSpark Team

When the "Copy Code" link is clicked, it will copy all code in between the code BBCode tags.
