Color change question

[Methen]

I wasnt sure what to search under so Ill just ask

When you click to read a message I want to change the back ground in that areas to black and the text to yellow where would I change that at ?

[Klemen]

You will need to change the style.css file. Open it in Notepad and change the first occurence of

Code: Select all

color : black;

to something like

Code: Select all

color : yellow;background-color : black;

To further customize the style file you can learn more about CSS functions here:

Ok this is the code I have as it is now aftew I made the change you recommended

Code: Select all

BODY, TD {
	color : yellow;background-color : black;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
}

TD.upper {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	background : #23559C;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
}

FONT.smaller {
	font-size: 10px;
}

table.entries {
	color : black;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
	BORDER-RIGHT: #23559C 1px solid;
	BORDER-LEFT: #23559C 1px solid;
	BORDER-TOP: #23559C 1px solid;
	BORDER-BOTTOM: #23559C 1px solid;
}

A {
	color : #0084BE;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

A:HOVER {
	color : Red;
	text-decoration : none;
}

A.smaller {
	font-size: 10px;
	color : #0084BE;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

A.smaller:HOVER {
	font-size: 10px;
	color : Red;
	text-decoration : none;
}

INPUT {
	font-size: 11px;
	font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color:#000000;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

HR {
	color: #B8CFE7;
	height: 1px;
}

font.ip {
	color : Gray;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 9px;
}

also I would like to get the topic in red and in the reply font color from black to yellow other wise you will not be abale to see it in a black back ground.

Here is the test link to my site the back ground is black but not when you click on a message or reply which I also want to be blackhttp://allbridges.info/Big-Gulp/mboard.php

Firstly you have a wrong setting, that's why your posts don't have the same theme as the main page. In the settings.php file change

Code: Select all

$settings['mboard_url']='http://allbridges.info/Big-Gulp/mboard.php';

to exactly this:

Code: Select all

$settings['mboard_url']='http://allbridges.info/Big-Gulp';

Secondly note that any changes you make will only be visible on main page (mboard.php) and any new posts you make, old posts might not be effected by all the changes.

Thirdly - we can't help with every color combination, so try playing around the style.css file a bit - change a color code and see what it does

ok there are two places to add the url address line 13 and line 20 in the settings do I make it the same address on both lines ?

[Klemen]

Just the line that starts with $settings['mboard_url']
