bluetex Stylesheet for IGN Boards

bluetex Downloads

(read the installation section below, first)

Normal font-size version (does not make fonts smaller)

Features-only version (looks just like normal boards, can be combined with other stylesheets)

If you want to have your own custom colors, use this tool, and combine the results with "Features-only" bluetex.
