How To Change The Logo For A Skin

[M3NF]

First goto a folder called style_images on your host server, inside you will see lots of folders with the names of the skins on them, now go into the one that you are looking at changing.

Once inside first look for to see if it comes with a blank logo, this will be called blanklogo.jpg, if there is copy, then download it to your hard drive and then you can change that logo to meets your needs then when you save it, save it as logo.jpg then reupload it to the same place. And over write the old file there. And that is done.

If there is not a blank logo then look for the logo.gif and download the logo.gif and change the text, thou do not resize it thou as this can create more problems on some skins, once you change it reupload it again to the same place overrighting the old logo.jpg.


If you want to use a different image type like a gif, you'll need to edit the boardheader section of your skin.
Open up the AdminCP and go to the Skins&Templates -> Manage Skin Templates -> Global html sections.
You'll find:

CODE Ü
<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' background='{ibf.vars.img_url}/header_tile.gif'>
Ü Ü<tr>
Ü Ü <td align='left'><a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.jpg' alt='Powered by Invision Board' border='0'></a></td>
Ü Ü <td align='right' valign='middle' background='{ibf.vars.img_url}/header_tile.gif'><!--IBF.BANNER--></td>
Ü </tr>
Ü</table>

Change the logo.jpg to another name.

And your next question will propably be "how do i remove the gradient background?".
Just remove the background='{ibf.vars.img_url}/header_tile.gif' part while you're there Ü
