i want to learn how to theme mybb but iam bit confused can you post a tutorial.iam very slow so it would very nice if it was step by step process and with example.i know iam asking for too much and sorry for the inconvenience

wow I don't know what to say or how to begin...

If you know HTML and CSS you are good to go.
Study mybb templates arrangement ( http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Admin_CP_Templates )

Start editing templates and see what you can do.

There is no step by step process, everyone is using different approach.
When I first started theming mybb I followed this steps
Make a design in photoshop
Slice the images.
Then code pure html/css template (index.html with css)
When I was satisfied with this I started changing MyBB templates with my own code from the above html template.

I hope it helps

I do the exact same thing Ivan does.

Create a template in Photoshop or Gimp
Slice the images
Code it in a static page such as .htm
Make sure it works in all browsers
If I'm satisfied, I begin to implement my code into Mybb.

This is actually very interesting, I normally just attempt to play around with the default mybb theme. (without creating a design first)

Solid advice ivan + rcpalace =)

thz,i will give it try and can you tell me where can find good set of logo and button or its better that i design them my self.
sorry for posting this here can you tell me how to post voki on the portal the same way you did

[ivgeo]

I suggest you design them yourself, but you can search for buttons on mybboard.net
good example http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=25994

Regarding voki, edit Portal template
add this code between {$pms} and {$search}

Code:

<!-- Voki START -->
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><a href="http://www.voki.com/"><strong>Get a Voki now!</strong></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://vhss-d.oddcast.com/voki_embed_functions.php"></script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">AC_Voki_Embed(200,266, '3b7f5f3c2798396baaefc252f932e1e8', 109208, 1, '', 0);</script><br />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<!-- Voki END -->

change everything inside <script ...>... </script> with your code (generated on your voki account)
