Hm, i'm not a coder, so i tried some simple cut and paste ;-)
1. In your forum directory locate the file "BoardIndex.template.php" found in the "Themes/default" directory.
2. Open the file in an editor and locate the text between:
/* Each category in categories is made up of:
id, href, link, name, is_collapsed (is it collapsed?), can_collapse (is it okay if it is?),
new (is it new?), collapse_href (href to collapse/expand), collapse_image (up/down image),
and boards. (see below.) */
AND (Including)
</td>
</tr>';
}
}
echo '
</table>';
}
echo '
</div>';
}
Replace with
/* Each category in categories is made up of:
id, href, link, name, is_collapsed (is it collapsed?), can_collapse (is it okay if it is?),
new (is it new?), collapse_href (href to collapse/expand), collapse_image (up/down iamge),
and boards. (see below.) */

This is the display code minus the $settings['theme_main_color'] field which places the directory of the Multi Color options into the file locations.
3. Create two images named "offk.gif" and "onk.gif" with a size around 10x10 pixels (you can call these anything you like as long as you change the filenames in the relevant places in the code given above). Upload them to your "Themes/default/images" directory. These images will display next to the child board names to show whether there are new posts in that board (onk.gif) or no new posts (offk.gif), the same way as the main icons next to a board do.
When that's done you will have the same child board layout as the Dilber MC theme but in the default (or any other theme you integrate it with).
It's also worth noting that if you use the Ad Management mod then you need to add the following code before the final "}" (or unistall that mod prior to making the changes then re-install)
//Display ads Between cats
if (function_exists("show_category"))
{
$ads = show_category($category['id']);
if(!empty($ads))
if($ads['type']==0)
echo $ads['content'];
else
eval($ads['content']);
unset($ads);
}
I did this, but the child boards are not good aligned. any thoughts?
