Some CSS questions

#0, by chief, 26 March 2009 09:03 PM

First posted by auntiecanuck

A.  How can I change the hard-to-see light grey text in the following areas to 006600? I have been able to change it on the sidebar, but no luck on the rest of the page.
  1. descriptions under the Category titles (forum tab) 
  2. the who-posted-when info under the message thread titles (when viewing the message list in a category)
  3. The date at the bottom of each message in a thread

B.  How can I get ALL the section titles on the sidebar to be in bold weight?  I got the Forum Categories and Recent Posts to change, but the rest didn't change.

C.  How can get the white font color for the Forum name and the "start a topic" changed to EFEFEF?  I have been able to get the white text on the rest of the page changed, but not those two sections.

Here's a little video I put together for Question A-3, showing you how I learned how to change the color of the date at the bottom of each post.

http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stU09RRUFIR1pXQV1dU15ZV1FS

It shows you how I brought up firebug in my browser, clicked the 'Inspect' button, roll over the date/time field, then changed the value in the firebug window to red.

If you want to change it to black, just add this line to your CSS

.post_footer_text { color:#000000; }

A1 - #content { color:#006600; }
A2 - #content .item_subtitle { color:#006600; }
A3 - .post_footer_text { color:#006600; }

B. They are already bold, this is their current value:
.widget .title, .widget .title a { font-weight:bold; }

C.
#forum_title { color:#FFFFFF; }
#start_conversation a { color:#FFFFFF; }

Hi Folks,

Just to say thanks to those who took the time and trouble to come up with the "Steel" skin. Looks very Classy, unlike our forum members, who are all scum, but that's a different story.

Anyway, what knob do I have to twiddle to get the width of the sidebar down a bit. I need to change it down to about 200 wide if poss.

Eternal gratitude etc. etc.

LMAO. It was me btw, and you're welcome :D

Wouldn't recommend going below 240 for your sidebar... things can get screwy if you go beyond that...

#sidebar {width:250px;}

Try adding this :

h2 {font-weight:bold;}

Without using this, the fonts in the widget titles most definitely are not bold.

This also makes the thread titles bold too. To cancel this out, use :


.item_title {font-weight:normal;}

My steel forum is broken.

I didn't do it.

It wasn't me.

It was like that when I got here.

It's got steel, then black horizontal bands all the way down.

If I'da wanted steel bands, I'da gone to Trinidad.**

A quick roll in the hay with the member of your choice if you can tell me how to fix it.***


**  Sorry
*** Actually, this could probably be arranged!

It's me again!

Got bored of the 'steel' look and decided to 'steal' a different theme.

Trouble is, the avatars and poster names are now left-margined within their boxes.

Who do I have to bribe to get this fixed?


Yours etc.

Hi Jack

..........(no - better not..)

Hello Jack,

Well, ideally so I can see the name of the person posting. For instance, my 'name' shows as just 'upname' with half of the picture missing too.

I can see the left hand side of the box that the avatar sits in, so it's not as if I can't see the whole sheet, just that the avatar is shoved too far to the left.

css is Earth with Transparency

Sounds like you're using IE8 - if you are, make sure you are running it in Compatibility Mode (the button appears at the right of the address bar).

The name displays fine for me in Firefox.

You really are very good at this aren't you.

Thanks once again for time and trouble.
