    I was looking through the themes that come with PostNuke and found that most (none?) of them jive with pnForum.
    With which default themes are the forums supposed to be used?
    Does anyone have suggestions for free themes that work well with pnForum?

    I was thinking about trying to get the Refresh theme to work with pnForum, is there any tutorial on how to do someething like this?

    Thanks!

    What is the problem with thoses themes? Usually there is no trick concerning pnForum. Maybe you only need an extra template without blocks.

    I understand what you mean. Some of the pnForum styles need a bit of a tweak to get them them to look cohesive. It is actually pretty simple to do.

    Do you have a URL? what would you like to do...

    We can help you out with some quick style adjustment.

    Thanks for the quick responses guys!

    The site isn't up on a public host yet, but here's a screencap of what I'm talking about.

    http://www.yourhostedimages.com/images/Images/pnforumcapture.png

    It's the "PostNuke" theme with a piece of pnForum visible, and pnForum's colors don't match the theme.
    The same thing happens when ExtraLite, Refresh, etc. - basically pnForum's colors & styling stays the same as I change the theme.

    I'd like the colors, font sizes, etc. to match up - what do I edit to do this?
    Do I need to create a new \themes\PostNuke\templates\modules\pnForum directory?


    Thanks again for your help!

    yup, and just add style.css to it.

    With a tool like Firebug you can easily see what needs to be changed and test it on the fly.

    Firebug is a Firefox extension. No Themer would be without it.
