A few questions~
a) I'm guessing creating themes uses CSS?
and
b) is it possible to create an entire theme/skin for proboards through custom CSS?
(I haven't really messed with this, so I don't know if there's a character limit)
I have a little time on my hands during the holidays and I thought it would be a fun challenge to make a few forum skins =0

I'll try to answer as best as I can. a.) yes, themes uses CSS and obviously, HTML. b.) it sounds plausible, I could ask on PB Support for you, if you'd like. (I've kind of messed around with it, I don't believe there is a character limit or at least one I know of.) here's what the Themes section looks like:  |

I'll have to do some experimenting myself then. I didn't want to start and then get walled by a character limit or something silly.
I was doing a little research yesterday on the proboards dev faq, but it mostly went over the theme manager and changing colors/bg/default fonts rather than any complex CSS. Which tbh idk how "complex" I would even want to try, but I'd like to try and move some elements around at least.

Dug a little deeper and I found a web-based version of the CSS admin template so I can call the right elements =O I was scared I'd have to like, make an account or a free board to be able to access that.
I also found a super helpful reference for some CSS syntax because I'm not very familiar with how it interacts with HTML (I've only ever copy/pasted other people's working code, and I didn't really bother learning valid arguments).
Time to go on a coding spree and see what I can mess up figure out

Yeah, the dev FAQ wasn't too helpful for me either when I started to create themes in the past. I understand how it works and how to code advanced CSS (for websites though, not themes). I ended up having to google some things and dig through the coding for the theme we have here.
CSS syntax web pages are a gift, I swear. I forget often, so I have them bookmarked on my computer.
Good luck! I'm curious to see what you'll come up with :0
