Dashboard by ipsfocus
Dashboard is a feature-rich IPS theme and includes a nice blur effect behind the vertical navigation panel, a background changer, and 'transparent' strips which allow the background image to alter specific internal areas of the theme.
Theme Features
Theme Settings
Easily enable, disable, or modify theme features such as background images, logos, social media links, guest messages, and colors. This makes modifications and upgrades very simple since little code changes are required.
Navigation panel
All navigation links and member/guest links are placed inside a vertical panel along the left side of the theme.
Blurred panels
The navigation column and category headers display a blurred version of your background image - all done via CSS! For browsers that don't support the blur code, your regular background image will be used.
Background picker (if enabled)
Your members can choose their own background image (or color) from a predefined selection and their choice is saved via cookies. This feature can be configured or disabled within the theme settings.
Background settings
Restrict the background picker to certain groups such as registered members or VIPs. Or remove the picker entirely from mobiles to save bandwidth on the go. All within the settings!
Global Message
Display a message across the top of your site with important announcements. Once your members have seen the message, they can press the Dismiss button to remove it (until you configure a new one).
Guest Message
A customizable message can be shown to guests, prompting them to either register or log in to your forum. Two designs, "billboard" and "alert" (shown) are available.
Social links
Social links can be enabled/disabled and customized to your own URL, allowing you to easily link to your social network pages (Facebook, Twitter, etc)
HTML logo with slogan
Easily add/edit your text logo and slogan from within the theme settings. If required, the text can be replaced by an image instead.
Mega Footer
A mega footer with configurable column numbers and content can be enabled and customized within the theme settings.
