How does MyNetwork, work?

Hmm, I check back every week to see how my Tracker 1.2 and MyNetwork development is going and I finally noticed this:

and had a little panic - do you mean we are stuck with the default theme?

[Tomm]

Nope.

The template set only contains customised templates for MyNetwork modules and features - so it's pointless being able to assign them to a theme! This way, it allows for custom templates to be installed, edited, reverted etc. without having to add them to the MyBB template system.

Your themes are safe.

I see - well, I am eagerly awaiting MyTracker 1.2. The only reason I'm not using myTracker 1.02 is that I want the attachment functionality. But I really liked the way MyTracker picked up my site theme. Will MyTracker 1.2 also do that?

In a sense, no it won't pickup your forum's theme as well as before. It's a slightly different style simply because of how much stuff is in it - using MyBB's trows and tcats would have made it far too bulky and disorganised, but I think I've made it as clean and as simply as possible!

Of course, you're free and able to edit the templates through the MyNetwork system and stylesheets to match your theme. There's nothing stopping you creating your own custom theme that does follow your forum too, and it wouldn't be too hard to do.

This time round, it closely follows Redmine. Essentially, it's the most powerful bug tracking software available for any forum system.

That looks really sharp and crisp - would make a great forum theme in itself - any plans for that? Like could we use the css in 1.4?

There really isn't any plans for a forum theme based on it, but most of MyNetwork's look and feel follows that sort of style.

Both MyNetwork and Tracker are 1.4/1.6 compatible, so you can just alter the stylesheet to attach it globally and away you go.
