Customizing ShotBox TP1.2

I upgraded this forum and have edited the .css for shoutbox to be for dark theme.

I both used the original TPShout.css (after saving it and uploading a copy) and just uncomented the area indicated to make it for dark themes --- no change

then I edited it to be like the others I have on my own site---even uploaded one from my site and still no change.

The box does take the color change but not the bubble, it remains white no matter what I tell it to be.

I am trying to change its background color to #333 with a #999border (that part is not real necessary) but it will not do so at all, its likes to stay white which on the dark back of forum hurts our eyes.

What did I do wrong?

since i cant get your shoutbox to stop refreshing i cant examine the css to see what may be wrong.

uncommenting the dark code does change it to dark for me



does not look like you removed the comments here

Yes that is right, since that one is for the default theme and not the dark one showing.

I will attach the one for the insidious theme

As an experiment, try the one I use. Let me know if it works, and don't forget to ctrl+F5 to see the changes.

darkangel

ok will download this one you attached and add it to insidious theme, be back

OK, I removed its edited style.css and the 2 tp css files I had in there (tp-style and shoutbox) and get the first image

Then I put back the shoutbox.css file and get the second image --- same results

So I know my own edits to its index.css did not interfere so I will put it back.

More ideas?

OH nearly forgot, this is happening on both Mac and PC using both the ctrl+f5 and shift+reload

As illori pointed out, you might have to turn off the auto refresh so we can take a proper look at what's going on. ;)

darkangel

ok disabled the refresh  :2funny: and it too did not wish to comply but it finally did

Yay it now works...I am a big dummy. In all previous versions I have those files just uploaded to the main (individual) themes folders...but after looking in the default folder I see that now with this version they are now listed in the css folder...once I moved it in there the shout box darkened.

Thanks guys, now I will just darken it a wee bit more and the bubble will be poifect.

Sorry, yes it got moved to the css folder in TP1.2, it was mentioned in the changelog, https://github.com/Tinyportal/TinyPortal/releases/tag/v1.2

Glad it's sorted though.  ;)
