XenForo Style [Xenfocus] illuminate ☀️ 2.2.2.1

illuminate by xenfocus

illuminate is a minimal, modern theme for xenforo 2. A compact, dark header neatly contains your logo, navigation, a fluid search bar and user icons - while your main content is placed on a simple background for easy reading. Categories can be styled with their own unique colour scheme which is especially great for sports teams, brands, games or movies.

Style features


Theme Editor
All xenfocus themes come with the "Theme Editor" - an easy to use box which allows your members to customize the theme to their needs.

Coloured categories
Categories can be styled with their own colour scheme, which is inherited by the header and topics for consistency.

Light/Dark mode toggle
If you own both the light and dark versions of illuminate, a toggle icon in the header allows your visitors to easily change their colour scheme. Perfect for day/night time viewing!

Compact header
The dark header contains all of your header elements: a logo, navigation, search bar and user icons, which leaves plenty of space for your main content!

Background Picker
A background picker allows your members to select their own background/header image from a predefined selection.

Social icons
By enabling the social icons feature, you can easily promote your social media websites to your forum members.

Mega footer
A mega footer with configurable columns and content can be enabled and customized all within the theme settings.

Holiday effects
If enabled, subtle "holiday effects" such as animated snow for Christmas, confetti for New Years, a floating ghost for Halloween or a beating heart for Valentines can be shown on your theme.

Sticky threads
Sticky threads are separated from regular threads with dividers.

Sticky side column
If enabled, the side column sticks to the top of your browser window once scrolled for easy access. Compatible in modern browsers which support position: sticky.

Responsive theme
This theme will downscale for mobiles and tablets, providing an optimal viewing experience for all devices.

Countdown
Countdown to a local event such as a sport game, or a global event such as a product release using the built-in countdown timer.

Grid view for nodes
Place your forums into a grid layout with optional wallpapers for each. This feature can be toggled by members if they prefer the standard layout. Compatible in modern browsers which support css grid.

Guest message
If enabled, a stylish guest message prompts visitors to sign in or register a new account on your site.

Extensive logo options
Use HTML text, insert a slogan or simply use an image. All configurable via the theme settings.


Retina ready
All xenfocus themes have been coded with high resolution screens in mind. Your theme will look crisp on all screens and devices!

Fluid width
Members have the option of toggling fluid width, which stretches the theme across the entire width of their browser.

Only one modified template
This theme only contains one modified template file, which means upgrades are a breeze!
