Making phpbb and mediawiki scripts look similar

[jroy]

Been a long time since I was here last, anyway, I'm trying to make a phpbb forum and the mediawiki script look similar. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should do this? I want them to look separate but similar.

I don't know about the wiki, but the phpBB script can be made to look as you want it: you need to work on the overall_header.tpl and overall_footer.tpl files in the theme's folder to modify the headers and footers. for the index change use index_body.tpl. The css file is the one that can be used to modify the links property and text and the images can also be manipulated. I have worked on phpBB for 4 years now and it's easy to customize once you know how.

yeah, i know how to edit phpbb skins, ive made a few a while ago, but i cant figure out a good way to make them look similar but separate, i was thinking of just having the same header and using the same colors
