[vB4] Style without the new fancy "buttons"

[Froberg]

So I have a custom-made style that took a long, long time to develop for v.3.x.

It had some really well done buttons and icons, which I want to use.

I finally figured out how to make it look right for the "new thread", but to my horror the "new thread" is being used on "post reply" as well.

I assume template edits are required - so clearly someone has already made a guide for it. But where? The search function has yielded no positive results thus far - anyone able to point me in the right direction for how to implement this properly?

I have custom buttons and icons for all functions, save "projects" and the "blog" things.. Help?

Your logic is a little bit flawed there. Just because the edits are required, you can't conclude that there must be documentation for it.

Well I was just assuming that I'm not the only one with a few styles that don't exactly benefit from the new buttons.

I see their merit, mainly for translations, but I'd really like to preserve my custom style as much as possible given the changes.
I managed to remove text, increase the size to make the button fit and change the borders to allow it to be there without intersecting with other text. I just don't get why "New Thread" and "Reply to Thread" use the same buttons - apparently - which usually indicates the template edits are necessary.

Unfortunately these are not trivial changes. I suggest posting over at vbulletin.org for help with this level of customization. Someone over there may have already done something like this.

Darn.

The custom buttons used to be a huge part of a forum-identity. For this one specific style in particular.

oh well, best not try it then.
Thanks, Steve.
