Would anyone know which file contains the font color for the text in Articles? Somehow when i view my articles, the text is a light blue and therefore looking like its almost transparent. thanks.
- Ive searched through the css files changing atrributes etc trying to see which would cause a change, but no luck.
I think it's the "body" color in style.css.
Thanks you are exactly right. I was searching harder than I had to i guess. I thought body tag would have applied to everything in the site, but since only the articles had a light blue text color, I just thought they had their own class somewhere.
Thanks so much!
:)

Hmmm well actually I have another related Question. I was able to change the article text to black using the body tag, however the popups (when you click on a question mark) have a black background, and they apparantly use the body tag also for text color, so now there is black text over a blacl background (in popups). sooooo,
I was wondering if anyone knew which file the article text is referenced in, so I can just add my own class SOLEY to the article text (so that I dont affect other things throughout the forum)?
thanks...
For SMF 1, you could add something like this to specify the color in pop-ups:
.popuptext {
color: #fff;
}
shane, the easiest thing would be to set the color of the text in each article.
What, I feel so insane! and embarrassed. Hi JPDeni, This is what happens when I only get 3 hours of sleep in 2 days. I could have sworn I tried that, but I just did it again and it worked.
I was just messing around trying to figure out how to use articles, and it kept coming up light blue by default... and I of course took the difficult route and was searchihg for the class to change... oh man, I guess i was just in too much of a hurry and way too sleepy to be trying to function! lol
thanks JP, that was embarrassing. lol. but hey it was my first article experiment! lol yeah thats my excuse. lol :)
:crazy2:
No need to be embarrassed. I think the first impulse of most folks is to go with the more complicated route to fix a problem, especially with only a little bit of sleep. Sometimes the simpler solutions only come after working with something for a while.
Glad I could help. :-)
oh man I am unorganized. lol. I actually still need to find the file that references the article font colors... I just realized its more than just the font color of the actual article I write, its also the other text such as (about the author, ratings, etc)...
so although I can change the article text to 'black' while im creating an article, it still leaves the other text in the article window so light and transparent looking... hmmmm
Color and style of font is always controlled from the CSS file. Did you look at the tp_style.css file? If you want to edit things like this, I'd highly suggest you download the firebug add-on for firefox and give it a whirl. It REALLY helps in finding exactly what CSS is associated to the different elements on a page.
Wow, IchBin thanks for letting me know about that tool (FF firebug). That is so insane. LOL Man that is something to pay money for. It was confusing at first but now I get it.. so crazy hwo you can just go to yruo website, and It shows you exactly what the class is to any object on the page.. Thanks so much!
Thanks JP and thanks Bikken too. I didnt really understand what you were saying at first but now using this firefox tool, i saw that the text was in a class called 'popuptext' like yuo pointed out. I just didnt knwo which css fiel it was referneced in... but turns out it was pointing to my theme css, which did not make a reference, so i just needed to add it like you said. I just didnt comprehend at first.
hey, well Im learning alot! and loving it. :)
thanks all.. Im gona go play around with this firebig thing! lololol
If you haven't figured it out yet, you can actually make live edits to the CSS using Firebug too. When you highlight an item and it shows you the CSS on the left part of the firebug window, you can change or add new all the fields in the class to see how it would affect the layout.
I wish IE had something like this.... Glad you like the tool though. Life saver for me! :)
