Installing a New Style
One of the easiest ways to customize the appearance of your forum is to download and install a new phpBB style. Hundreds of different styles have been created based on topics like color schemes, popular movies, television shows, hobbies, sports, etc. The majority of these styles are free to download and use, although there are also some commercial styles and style designers available. Some websites that offer style downloads also provide demonstration forums in which you can preview any of the styles without downloading anything. Two of the best websites for downloading phpBB styles are:
- The phpBB Styles Database:http://www.phpbb.com/styles/.
- The phpBBHacks Templates Database:http://www.phpbbhacks.com/templates.php.
