Changing colours

[Deaks]

to do kindreds way just need to add teh code he gave to your index.css

[swerveq]

shouldn't take too much more work... -- in theory, the hover argument can apply to more than just links

. topic_table td.subject:hover {
background: #<newcolorhex>;
}

I'd like to try this. Can you be alittle more specific please i.e. like I'm a dummie sort of thing. 

[Deaks]

open index.css as I told you before

at the end of the file add

Code Select Expand

.topic_table td.subject:hover {
background: #FFF;
}

replacing #FFF with the color code you want to change to.

It works!

Thank you guys so much. Can I call myself a programmer now? 

[Deaks]

you can call yourself what you want wont make it true

You can do alternating on messageindex by using nth selectors. I have it on mine.

Code Select Expand


/* To reset default colors */
#messageindex tbody td {
background-color: transparent; }

#messageindex tbody tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #ECF3F7; }

#messageindex tbody tr:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #dfecf3; }

/* This one is for hover, it needs to be after the above, it will highlight the entire row */
#messageindex tbody tr:hover {
background-color: #c5d6e0; }


Now I don't remember if that worked on default because I changed sticky, etc colors as well either way, but in any case, you can use those afterwards (and it needs to be after the above in the code):

Code Select Expand

#messageindex tbody tr.stickybg {
background-color: #5eaeec; }

#messageindex tbody tr.stickybg:hover {
background-color: #379ae6; }

#messageindex tbody tr.lockedbg {
background-color: #dce1e4; }

#messageindex tbody tr.lockedbg:hover {
background-color: #d3d8db; }

You can just change the colors to the ones you want. (I copied those from mine, but that's just a part of the code so that's not the color that shows, I think it should look ok for blue curve in any case )

If you want to keep the darker color in every row its going to need more code than that, though, that will change the entire row.

Yes, :hover works for pretty much every element.
