Theme is overwriting colors of usergroups - Help please :)

[ddc]

Hey there, using SMF 2.11

Is there a way to alter the index.css of a theme, so the forums don't overwrite usergroup colors with the theme's colors?


In a theme I am using, do I need to comment out the color lines of
.poster h4, .poster h4 a
color: #78A8C1;

.user_info hxxp:span.name [nonactive] a
color: rgba( 120, 168, 193, 0.8 )

Or will that have no effect because the color of users is set by the global color setting of links:
a:link, a:visited

I don't want to change the colors of any other links though, like Forum/Subforum links. I was just hoping the forums would differentiate the color classes between a link to a thread/setting and a user.

Brainfart idea of what I want to achieve:
.poster h4, .poster h4 a
color: {class_usergroup_color}


Thank you

After doing some research, BoardIndextemplate.php handles the colors of  "users online list" with 'show_group_key'. Not sure if that can be inserted as a class that is read by the index.css stylesheet of a theme.

Additionally, a:link, a:visited takes priority over the color of .poster h4, so changes to that color do not achieve anything.

Oh boy, thanks ! does it take the colors from the "color in online list"?

Nvm, it works. Thank you so much!
