A little phpbb Help!!! Thanks...

[CHILLY]

O.k... please go HERE Now at the bottom of the page at the LOG IN: Username: Password: ect... there is the; "log in button" as you can see the back ground is #ffffff ( i am assuming?) I would like to change it to #CC0000.

Now in Cpanel I am under subsilver.css this is what I have in places:

/* The main submit button option */
input.mainoption {
background-color : #CC0000;
font-weight : bold;

/* The main submit button option */
input.mainoption {
background-color : #CC0000;
font-weight : bold;

/* None-bold submit button */
input.liteoption {
background-color : #CC0000;
font-weight : normal;

So in the end I want to change that bottom log in button to #CC0000, Am I in the right place? Where would it be? I looked up all the #ffffff, button, login, using ctrl&F but I can't find it. Any idea?

The colour is not exactly white. Its #FAFAFA

How did I find out? I took a screen shot. Put it in paint(comes with windows). Used the colour picker to select the colour. In the menu bar, clicked Colours->Edit Colours...->Define Custom Colours
These were the values I found:
Red(R)=250
Green(G)=250
Blue(B)=250
Now I converted these numbers into "hex" numbers using the windows calculator in scientific mode.
You get 250=FA
The format for colour is : #RGB
In your case: #FAFAFA

Hello Sote; thank you for your help & info...check this out...
I looked up the FAFAFA and it came under:

/* Quote & Code blocks */
.code {
font-family: Courier, 'Courier New', sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #006600;
background-color: #CC0000; border: #D1D7DC; border-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px
}

.quote {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #444444; line-height: 125%;
background-color: #CC0000; border: #D1D7DC; border-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px
}

and..........................

/* Quote & Code blocks */
.code {
font-family: Courier, 'Courier New', sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #006600;
background-color: #CC0000; border: #D1D7DC; border-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px
}

.quote {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #444444; line-height: 125%;
background-color: #CC0000; border: #D1D7DC; border-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px
}

I replaced the #FAFAFA with #CC0000

but it is still the same, Did I go about it the right way?

That button is not some type of image, is it?

Side note::: I have paint open now, Is there a place in paint or elsewhere that I can paste; for example "#D1D7DC" and it would automatically show me the color swatch?

Find:

/* The main submit button option */
input.mainoption {
	background-color : #FAFAFA;
	font-weight : bold;
}

Replace it with:

/* The main submit button option */
input.mainoption {
	background-color : #CC0000;
	font-weight : bold;
}

To check the colour swatch thingy.

Thank you for the link, Perfect; very very nice. Just what I was looking for. Now I have something to play around with.

If you look in the first post, I already have that code on #CC0000, most of the other buttons are o.k. just this one and a couple of others.
Something else must be wrong or something.......

Rep added anyway, great link and fantastic help; thank you....maybe I just post up the whole .css for it, maybe something is messed up?

If you visit your forum and view the source from your browser, you'll notice that the code I mentioned hasn't been changed.
If you can change this, its done.

 

[CHILLY]

ha ha ha lol,Yeah, your right, in the source view from the browser it has the #fafafa.

Now I'm here: Editing/home//public_html/1800sushi/forum/templates/subSilver/subSilver.css...
I made the changes before and yet again and clicked save and the whole 9 yards.

mmmmmm..this is in the overall_header.tpl

/* The main submit button option */
input.mainoption {
	background-color : {T_TD_COLOR1};
	font-weight : bold; 
}

/* None-bold submit button */
input.liteoption {
	background-color : {T_TD_COLOR1};
	font-weight : normal;
}

As I was typing this response I just realized..........
THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO DO!!!! I changed: {T_TD_COLOR1} to this:
#CC0000; in the overall_header.tpl file and it worked................thank you very much, see you at my next disaster...... :wave:

Use ColorZilla extension for Firefox. Using it's color picker, you can click on any color and see it's value. RGB and Hex values too. Then search that value and replace it with whatever color you need. Before using this extension, it was really hard for me to find those color values and changing it.
