Thanks a lot VinDSL,

I finally got it to change color. I didn't understand as to what you were refering when you said
Code:
'get rid of this'
.

What I did:
I went to the overall_header.php file and change what I wanted to the color code in hex. For example I changed
Code:
/* Forum category titles */

.cattitle      { font-weight: bold; font-size: {T_FONTSIZE3}px ; letter-spacing: 1px; color : {T_BODY_LINK}}

a.cattitle      { text-decoration: none; color : {T_BODY_LINK}; }

a.cattitle:hover{ text-decoration: underline; }



to


Code:
/* Forum category titles */

.cattitle      { font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px ; letter-spacing: 1px; color : FFFFFF}

a.cattitle      { text-decoration: none; color : FFFFFF; }

a.cattitle:hover{ text-decoration: underline; color : FFFFFF}


Don't know if that's what you were saying, but it worked, you can go check out my site and see how it looks.

1 more question: which one is the color definition for the links (like http://www.somewhere.com ), you see how the link turns blue. Mine doesn't change color when you post a link. I looked but couldn't find it.

Oh, okay. Well, it looks like you left the CSS embedded in the file, but that's okay as long as it works.

If I understand you correctly, you want the links, in the body of the posts, to show up in color. If that's the case, I would try the following...

In the same file you made the above changes, find:
Code:

/* The content of the posts (body of text) */

.postbody { font-size : {T_FONTSIZE3}px; line-height: 18px}

a.postlink:link   { text-decoration: none; color : {T_BODY_LINK} }

a.postlink:visited { text-decoration: none; color : {T_BODY_VLINK}; }

a.postlink:hover { text-decoration: underline; color : {T_BODY_HLINK}}


Change it to:

Code:

/* The content of the posts (body of text) */

.postbody { font-size : {T_FONTSIZE3}px; line-height: 18px}

a.postlink:link   { text-decoration: none; color : #006699 }

a.postlink:visited { text-decoration: none; color : #5493B4; }

a.postlink:hover { text-decoration: underline; color : #DD6900}


And see what happens.

I took those colors from the subSilver CSS file so it should match the rest of your theme fairly well.

I did that, but only the links that are embeded with the url tag are affected ( ex: [url=http://www.somwhere.com/]SOMEWHERE[/ url] ) . The stand alone links like http://www.somewhere.com are still black.

Hrm... well you might try changing:

Code:

<body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="{T_BODY_LINK}" vlink="{T_BODY_VLINK}">



To:
Code:

<body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="#006699" vlink="#5493B4">

Hrm... I'm gonna have to go back over to your site tonight and check things out again. phpBB has really been weird since 'they' integrated it into Nuke. If you've noticed, no matter what you do now, the admin section is stuck in subSilver mode. I started to skin it a couple of months ago, so the admin panel would match the site's default theme, but got involved in another project instead. Maybe it's time to check into this again. I didn't realize 'they' had embedded CSS into the damn template files and so forth. What a bunch of boneheads!

Yeah, I know. I just like playing around with this stuff.

It's like the admin section --- who cares what it looks like (right?), as long as you can read it. It's just a mystery to me how 'they' screwed it up when 'they' did the port, you know?

Enquiring minds need to know!

Sorry to bring this topic up again but i ahve the same sort of problem and I'm not sure to have understood everything.

Quote:

How do you get rid of this then.

I tried to change my background in subsilver.css, then in editing the subsilver theme via the forum administration (style management) but my background doesn't change. Then I tried the other solution ("changing the overall_header.tpl file) and it works, but doesn't it slow down the display ? If there's a more "efficient" way to do it, that would be nice Wink.
Could you help me please ?

Sorry to bring up a long dead thread, but I try to keep things in one spot.

This thread was very helpful as I was having massive issues with BB not using the CSS theme I was defining and could work out where it was getting that hard coded style sheet from.

I tried search but couldn't find an answer for this question.

In that hard coded style sheet where is the value for {T_BODY_TEXT} defined? As it seems that the current version of mine doesn't seem to be getting a value for that variable and hence not setting the correct text colors and such. I'd like to use that feature so if anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

If not I'll just delete it and use the hard coded style sheet.

Thx in advance.
Rumbaar

Hello, I too am having a similar problem. I am trying to change the color of the text for Announcements. Not the text on the forum in the ANNOUNCEMENT post.. but the actual text that says "Announcement"! The text is Black and i can hardly see because my background is a dark color on the site. I have a control panel for the template I am using which has a custom .css file. However, no matter how many times I manually change that .css file through ftp.. or even through the styles edit control panel It does not affect the color of text for my forum. This is my custom .css file..



Code:

Again.. even if i change these.. it does nothing to my forum however, if i just knew which one of these would change the announcements text.. I could see if it would at least work on that. My site http://lawgiver.us/forums

ANy ideas on which one to change.. that will affect the color of the Announcments text?

Actually I just checked your CSS sheet and you've not set the color correctly for that style class:

.topictitle { color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px }

You notice the code in red isn't a complete color value. This is also the case for a majority of your color values, I'm quite certain they all need to be at least 6 alphanumeric characters in length.

I have a basic color hex table page here if it helps:

Actually the shorthand 3 digit is completely legit, at least in most browsers. Smile
