Styles
Styles change the appearance of your board. phpBB 3.x uses a powerful templating-system that keeps the PHP code separate from the HTML code and gives you complete freedom to customise your forum the way you want it.
The default style for phpBB 3.1.x is prosilver. The Styles Database contains additional styles created by members of the phpBB.com community and are available for download and installation on your phpBB board.
