awesome styles

It’s time once more for the styles/themes of the month. We’ve once again changed how the process will work – from now on we will announce the styles of the month at the start of every month rather than at the end.

The style of the month award for May has been awarded to the brilliant “Dark grunge” phpBB3 style by PixelRaider for phpBB 3.0.4.

This is an awesome dark grey and red grunge theme for phpBB3. Tableless CSS code, with a fixed width and rounded corners and “grunge style” graphics.

The Style Of The Month (SOTM) for March has been given to the LiquidBlack by Andrew

LiquidBlack is a brilliant dark table based style for phpBB 3.0.4 with highlights of blue. This style has been the most popular over the past month accumulating over 1,000 downloads. The style is based on subsilver2, has a fixed width of 910px and includes custom icons and mouseover effects on the menu.

This is a really cool style themed on the Aston Martin DBS car so a great style for any motoring themed forum.

The Style Of The Month (SOTM) for February has been given to the Pro_ubuntu by Ishimaru Design

This is a great new phpBB3 style for 3.0.4. The style is themed on the Ubuntu operating system and the accompanying community forums. The style itself is prosilver based coded with XHTML and CSS without the use of tables. A mix of brown and orange colours together with the Ubuntu logo and icons finish off a great phpBB3 style for any forum!

We’ve decided to take a slightly different approach styles of the month from here on: instead of an editors choice we’ll be awarding the SOTM at the end of each month based on our site statistics.

January’s style of the month is the wonderful buziness board by abble

This is another great phpBB3 style – it features a sidebar, mouseover effects, social bookmarking links and even a tag cloud. A dark template it contains a blend of dark greys and blues. A brilliant style!
