Hacking your CSS!

well i have someone that wants to re-do the forum for me but he need the CSS to do so. and he doesn't want to make it from scratch. i guess there is no way of getting the CSS if there for the layout i have?

I'd imagine whoever is doing the css for you knows how to get it from the 'view source' function of the browser. It is linked as an external document, and this link is dynamic so I cant tell you what it is for your forum.

Still its probably easier to use a tool like firebug for firefox or the developer toolbar for ie to explore the forum structure.

However you do it, just don't copy the whole thing into the css box, only the things you change, otherwise you're forum may not pickup any fixes/changes we make.

ahhh i see. well at this time all i want is the header changed.

i would love to know the command line to put in a header. like i know the image thing under the theme but that puts is there and i already have something in where the name is and i can't take it off since it is needed. i'm having trouble trying to put it in there. so i dunno what to do anymore i'm lost now. lol

i got something to work. lol it was simple too. change the names to something small and out of the way. lol

How can I make my forum's title font larger?

@luc1f3r, just follow the step by step photo instructions at the top of this thread, if you have any specific questions on a step, please post them here.

I would also like to know how to make my forum's title bigger, and chage its font as well. I know how to chage body size/font and i want the title to match sorry if you posted it allready chief i searched the forum and did not find any thing, thanks :)

you'll want to change the properities for #forum_title, like:

#forum_title {font-size:30px;}. To change it's font, you can use the font-family CSS property, here's more info on that: http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/pr_font_font-family.asp

I need to set a fixed width for the forum as well. Tried adding a few lines to the CSS, so far no effect. What do I change where to set the width at say 700 pixels?

hey colincondos, to change the width of your forum, you could use the following code:

#boddy { width:700px; }
#main { width:700px; }

However, we don't recommend it, as it makes the forum too narrow, and somethings will look funky and overlap each other. We have the width set so that it's viewable on 95% of typical browser windows.

Whats the best forum to change the complete background and topic/tab colors.
I just need to make my forum with a Brown background and Pink wording/tabs
I've switched from juiced to eurgh, and neither seem to comply

Hey there,

I'm trying to change the standard forum searchbar with an image of a searchbar with rounded corners that (behind the corners are transparent). I tried to apply this by first hiding the search bar color then placing an image over it:

#search_wrapper {background-color:transparent;background-image:url(http://urlhere//);}

The image covers the background of the searchbar properly, but I can still see the original color of the search bar behind the rounded corners even though I set it to transparent. When I check it in Firebug, my code has been striked-out and overwritten. How can I fix this or is there an easier way of doing this?

I also tried to change the go button to a symbol of a magnifying glass using the same method (making the 'Go' text transparent and replacing it with an image), but it doesn't work and when I check in Firebug, my code isn't even listed there; it's as if I referred to the wrong tag (I used #search_go).

Hey, fatalyst I tried it on a test forum I set up and it worked fine for me.

Could you perhaps provide me with the url for the image you want to use, and I can try it myself directly on your forum? that way if there is a problem I'll be able to see the same problem as you.

I like what you've done so far its looking good.

Thanks, the search bar is all I need to complete the theme, I think.

Here's the link to the searchbar image, and thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

In the threads itself (the forum)is there a code i can put this pic in so that my links arent all white?

someone on here had this code they used but i cant get it to work

The code I used for that was:
#header {
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(http://www.IMAGEURLHERE.com/blahblahblah;
background-position: 25px 123px; (Adjust these to fit your image in how you like)
padding-bottom: 60px; (this is also needed, it makes your header taller, with more 'padding' on the bottom.)
}

I'm not sure I follow. You want to change the color of hyperlinks? And you want to put that image as the background of your forum? I'll outline the two separate steps if that's what you would like to do. Thanks for asking on this thread - it helps everybody.

I am trying to change the background of our forum (Sleepless Spirits), to a temporary Christmas backgroud. I was going to do this through the CCS on the Forum Pannel. But I actually have no idea how to... also the CCS box is totally blank.
Just wondering if someone could put me in the right direction as to what to do!
Many thanks.
