Unable to Read Category Text
« on: July 10, 2010, 09:28:06 pm »
Forum Url: www.pic.smfforfree4.com
I know I messed with the CSS alot for this new style I just added to make it look good for other members, clearly I edited the wrong thing, but I'm not sure what.

Chances are if you look at this screenshot you will see my problem:



What's blue should be "Main" and "Configuration".

Same can be said about the site title - it's also not readable.


Also while I'm at it, I have this wiki page with a sidebar, it's kinda the same problem, but a different question.



Not only do I have a problem with the categories being red, but the links as well. What would I need to change to make the links (titlebg) green?

Usually I don't ask for help but I have no clue what to look for on this.  :-\

Yes Seldom is right, I need to know what to edit in the CSS to change that. I know WHAT to do, I just need to know HOW to do it.

I am thinking thay maybe you should change the Color of the Headers of things. This can be done by two ways, CSS Editing or Normal Editing (a.k.a. Point, and  Click editing)  ;) That should solve your Problem  ;)

Here is that part of the CSS:

Code: [Select]
/* This is used for categories, page indexes, and several other areas in the forum.
.catbg and .catbg2 is for boardindex, while .catbg3 is for messageindex and display headers*/
.catbg , tr.catbg td , .catbg3 , tr.catbg3 td
{
background: url(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u207/sharktrainers/forum/th.gif) #FFFFFF repeat-x;
color: FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.catbg2 , tr.catbg2 td
{
background: url(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u207/sharktrainers/forum/tall-1.jpg) #FFFFFF repeat-x;
color: FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}

That is correct, because it's white, I need to find whatever is making the text blue.

What stands out to me in the css you posted Andrew:

color: FFFFFF;


You are missing and NEED the # before the FFFFFF

In other words that should be #FFFFFF  (in both places)

(post edited - also refer to the next post)

I just grabbed all of your css related to the catbg headers:

Code: [Select]
/* This is used for categories, page indexes, and several other areas in the forum.
.catbg and .catbg2 is for boardindex, while .catbg3 is for messageindex and display headers*/
.catbg , tr.catbg td , .catbg3 , tr.catbg3 td
{
background: url(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u207/sharktrainers/forum/th.gif) #FFFFFF repeat-x;
color: FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.catbg2 , tr.catbg2 td
{
background: url(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u207/sharktrainers/forum/tall-1.jpg) #FFFFFF repeat-x;
color: FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.catbg, .catbg2, .catbg3
{
border-bottom: solid 1px FFFFFF;
}
.catbg, .catbg2
{
font-weight: bold;
}
.catbg3, tr.catbg3 td, .catbg3 a:link, .catbg3 a:visited
{
font-size: 95%;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
.catbg a:link, .catbg a:visited , .catbg2 a:link, .catbg2 a:visited
{
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
.catbg a:hover, .catbg2 a:hover, .catbg3 a:hover
{
color: #e0e0ff;
}

In every instance where you have FFFFFF for the font color you need to change it to:   #FFFFFF
Its not going to use that color if you don't have the "#" there.

Also - the line of code for the background image.  You have #FFFFFF there after the background url and before the repeat-x.  "That" #FFFFFF is the background color if someone is blocking images.  You need to change those 2 #FFFFFFs to a color that is the same color as the background images are.
