In order to get the full features of this skin you'll need to have the following modifications installed and follow the modification instructions here for each one. All modifications are available at vBulletin.org. I can provide no support for these modifications, their use or anything. As you can see they work just fine for me.
You'll need to seek out these modifications using the search feature on vBulletin.org. That is the first pre-requisit for using this skin. If you can not find these modifications, Stop now and do not continue any further, you won't be able to comprehend past this point anyway.

1. Custom Status Icons Per Forum (ChrisM)
2. Cyb - Sub-forum manager (Cybernetic)
3. iTrader
4. Whos online forumdisplay (FRDS)
5. Forumhome Colums (Xenon) (IF YOU DO NOT USE REVERT THE FORUMHOME TEMPLATES)
Required Modifications
1. ****removed******
2. Latest Post On Forum Home (whitemike)
3. Latest threads IN MArquee (developer ?? i think)
4. Members Who have visted (Paul M)
5. Tag Cloud Forumhome
You must install those modifications to get all the features this skin offers at this time. I do not support any of the modifications, or their usage. Install at your own risk. Remember to press the install button for these great authors work too!
================================================== ===========================
Next we need to edit these plugins/products to do different things, and work on different areas. Please note some of these will add queries to your forum pages, if you're a performance nut, or notice slowed display, you may want to modify these further.
Latest Posts On forum Home
1.disable "Make valid field" *Maybe Optional if you experience difficulites*
2. Change main code, hook location to gloabl_start
Latest Threads IN Marquee
1. The "3" plugin change the Change to: Tag Cloud Forumhome
1. Change plugin location to global_start (NOT THE cache_templates plugin location)
================================ End of modification edits i believe ==================
Import the skin, and prosper... For the love of god and everything holy, retain my measly copyright, its the least you can do.
===============================End of standard use, Customized Usages Below =============
Editing Navbar and getting "active cells"
A. To add additional links use the following format, replace "REPLACE THIS" with what it says to replace it with
The script name can be found usually around the top of all scripts and is generally the name of the file example: usercp.php is defined as usercp
B. To Remove links, Locate the code you want removed Ex the userCP link, find and remove the following code:
============== Sub menu =============================
Setting Up the Sections and sub menus. Start by finding: <!-- Enter Forums and ID's Below -->
You'll then need to know your forumIDs. If you do not know your forumIDs please find them. Change the "Search Engines" "General Chat" and "Market Place" text to whatever you'd like, MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE FORUMID THAT GOES WITH THEM
Link format breakdown: The first forumid, will most likely be a category link. Replace the text with actual numbers, replace Category name with category name. Remove any extra OR statements and the follwoing forumid crap.
To add more submenu links use the following format, replace X with your forumID Find <!-- End Of Submenu Section Place All Additonal Links BEfore This--> and place everything before that line!
============ left Colum (navbar template)===================
Open the navbar template, and find: <!-- Custom left Sidebar --> this is where the magic happens
To edit what pages this appears on, again edit the first if conditional to match your script needs
Currently it doesn't display on the search page or login page or WOL
========= Known Issues =================
New Posts/Todays post doesn't highlight - I know, but i can't find a way to highlight only new post/today posts and not the search box and vice versa. Open to suggestions.
Dynamic RSS icon isn't updating Forumid properly to match the forum you are viewing.
Again this is beta, if you use it, there are more then likely bugs/missing images. Just report them to me, and when i roll out the next build it'll be fixed/replaced.
You can download the XML for this at Index of /fancypantsxml
