Hi guys ive changed the colour of my site and now the font color on the tiny portal blocks is black the same color as my site. if you click the link below you will see what i mean. how do i rectify this please.
Link to my site: http://www.easyfreecouncilexchange.co.uk
SMF version: 1.1.7
TP version: 0.9.8
Theme name and version: core default
Mods installed: none
Related Error messages: none
If you can't see the font because of it's colour, you'll need to edit the .css file of the theme you are changing, direct from the server. Download the file, edit it, then re-upload.
[Edit] I hope that's a Copy of the default theme you are editing?
All the font colors are in the style.css file, you've changed: titlebg (colour), there will be a color for the font local to that line.
what do i need to change on it
See my edit, the color is represented by: #000000 (and a series of numbers)
Heres a colour chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors (Actually, the link with the actual chart I use has been removed).
it is a copy of the default theme
Just checking. Best to leave the original alone, just in case anything goes wrong.
thanks mate its sorted now O0
Good stuff :up:
ok anothe rprob along the same lines. when i go to post a new topic. at the bottom of the page where it tells you "topic you have posted in" and "locked topic" that font color is black to. what do i need to change for that
Download Firebug for Firefox (does not work for FF3 yet) Or the Webdeveloper plugin for FF.
I can't see it as you have your forum closed to Guests and unless I change my site theme to the Default.. I don't know.
Get one of those plugins, they will help you identify what the elements around the site are.
Here: http://getfirebug.com/
ok i have set one of the forums so that guests can view it so you can see it. will lock it when your done
I just posted the link for Firebug.. It's very useful.
Try: titlebg2
nope didnt work but will try firebug
Good stuff, I just found Firebug for FF3.
If the element isn't there for the font color, create a new line for it, copy the one from: titlebg
This is what Firebug shows, when you hit, Inspect:
body, td, th, tr {style.css?fin11 (line 113)
color:#000000;
font-family:verdana,sans-serif;
font-size:small;
}
From your site
thanks mate its fixed
Ok.. great. seems your site is down though?
i know mate. its up now, having probs with my server provider. what do i need to add in .CSS to add a background wallpaper
Try something like:
/* The main body of the entire forum. OPTIONS: background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: repeat-x; */
body
{
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url("images/img/back.jpg");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat;
margin: 0px;
padding: 15px 0 4px 0;
}
If you don't want a fixed background, remove the line.
The image path is a demo, use the path for your theme.
[Edit]
You already have a: body element, delete it and use the above, or incorporate it into it.
thanks mate. its done. take a look at www.easyfreecouncilexchange.co.uk

Oooh.. yeah.. ummm. I would use something a little more subtle, to be straight with you. With the genre of you're site, that background doesn't work.. trust me ;)
Have a look at some of the showcase sites.. Why not try out a few themes, there's plenty that are free. Check the theme boards, and the downloads.
You are welcome to have a look at my site, link under my Avatar. <<< Probably not the best site for comparison, but it shows themes in use.
[edit] And the red font in the Admin user name seriously clashes with that shade of grey
