First block of code is for new posts, second block of code is for posts with new replies, third for posts with no new replies. This should also solve your greying out of read posts.

mattb4  that looks good, & just what they want
but where do you put the lines of code,

coloneljack   went over to hackyour.lefora.com   but could not find how or where to put the code,

you can paste that above code in your CSS box in your admin panel.

Forum Admin -> Appearances -> CSS

cheers will have ago at that,

coloneljack  copied  the code into css box saved but nothing has changed ?

mattb4  thanks  that worked ,   how do i do     views  also topics & posts ? say orange

cheers

i have just got to grasp the concept then will be cooking with gas

what colours are there ? & how do you know  what does what like ( subtitle a) (subtitle)

What colors are there?

There is the primary (red, green blue...) and than there are literally hundreds of others denoted by a number. One site that is handy is Browser Safe Colors another is CSS Color Names

As for knowing which element to change, I use the Firebug plugin to Firefox Browser. Once Firebug is installed, simply using the inspect feature will give you the css to modify. There is a lot of good stuff over on Categories in HackYour.Lefora.com that can help you with working with this stuff.

Good fortune!

cheers will give it a go, went to hack your lefora , and had a look its a bit above my level of computer  skill,s had my head spinning,  will stick with the  2  text you gave me i can alter the color in them

It is a start.
I knew less than nothing about the whole thing when I first attempted Theme alteration. Now I know a teensy bit more. I figure if I keep whacking away at it with a rock I will eventually pound it into shape.

found  2 bits off code in other posts  just the numbers to change now  views & posts,when i find code

4 hours to change color's its crazy no time left to update the forum now, there has to be easy way & quicker?

The code I posted works in a test forum I have - not sure why it doesn't work for you.

If you want to post the changes you'd like, I can try and work up the necessary code for you?

This is what my code above does :

Staying with default is quicker. However once you catch on to the method of alteration (keep notes!!) it will go a lot easier. Starting anything new is time consuming. Not sure of your hobbies but I imagined it took some time to get proficient at them. Now they are second nature to you.

You might wish to get some of your Forum members involved with helping on the look. I have several on my Forum that are invaluable this way since I am not a graphic type of guy.

coloneljack on this page , change color on

Quasar, you haven't said what you want the colours changed to. If you go to http://hyltestsite5.lefora.com/forum/ I've set up a Simple Dark theme there - if you post what colours you want there, then it would probably be easier.
