I think the text should be lighter instead since it's a dark theme  ;D

Calendar issue : I will look into this. Haven't really messed with the calendar events much lol.

The entry box though, I could have sworn I had this as white already. I will fix this soon.

Thank you for reporting these issues.
Title: Re: Aurora
Post by: TwitchisMental on January 10, 2022, 11:48:01 PM
Okay I have a fix for both.

To solve the Calendar issue add this to the bottom of the custom.css

/*Calendar Stuff */
.ui-widget {
    font-family: "Oswald", sans-serif;
    font-size: 1em;
}

To resolve the Editor issue go to line 1907 of the custom.css.

Find -

.sceditor-container textarea {
    line-height: normal;
    border: 0;
    outline: none;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: rgb(17, 17, 17);
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 0 5px;
    margin: 0px;
    resize: none;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
    display: flex;
    flex-basis: 175px;
    flex-grow: 1;
    min-width: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    height: 175px;
    min-height: 1px;
    max-height: 100%;
}

Replace With -

.sceditor-container textarea {
    line-height: normal;
    border: 0;
    outline: none;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: rgb(252, 252, 252);
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 0 5px;
    margin: 0px;
    resize: none;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
    display: flex;
    flex-basis: 175px;
    flex-grow: 1;
    min-width: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    height: 175px;
    min-height: 1px;
    max-height: 100%;
}

Thank you for reporting these issues. I will upload the updated package soon.

I would suggest updating to the latest version of SMF and the Aurora theme to see if you still have those issues first :).

No worries it was just updated yesterday.

Pretty sure your issues will be resolved with the newest version. If not, just report what you find here :-).

If you need help updating to 2.1.0 be sure to make a support topic in the SMF 2.1 support section. :).

Hi I've created a New Test board. I'm sure you helped me with the Width of the forum but can't find the CSS in my code library.

I need to change the width from what it is at the moment to 100%

thanks mick

You would need to find #top_section(line 107 of custom.css) #header(line 95 of custom.css) and #top_section .inner_wrap, #wrapper, #header, #footer .inner_wrap (line 101 of custom.css).

change
max-width: 1200px;
to
max-width: none;

Open custom.css in your favorite editor

Find and remove this -
h1.forumtitle a::before {
    font-family: "Font Awesome\ 5 Free";
    color: rgb(187,146,145);
    font-weight: 700;
    display: inline;

This is not a problem with the theme, But thought I would ask your advice.

@Diego Andrés did the hard bits, lol.

I haven't asked Diego, as he did a fantastic job, and it's only this theme that has the problem.

link to page using my default theme: https://www.databasedreams.co.uk/charts/gallery/?cat=35

The problem I'm having is with my aurora theme The update uses the following CSS which I am no good at.

As you can see in the image, some of the text is not centred.
.gallery_subcat {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
}
.gallery_subcat .item {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    text-align: center;
}
.gallery_subcat .item span {
    padding: 0 !important;
    width: 100% !important;
    flex-basis: 0;
}

All the best mick

Post by: TwitchisMental on October 20, 2023, 10:45:05 PM
in custom.css

Find :

.lastpost {
    width: 30%;
    font-size: 1em;
    padding-right: 6px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    text-align: right;
    margin: 0px
}

Remove:

text-align: right;

That or you could give that section its own unique class for the gallery. like .gallery_lastpost

Allow me, if we want to replace the image, with one of mine, related to my forum topic, what should I do? and where?
Title: Re: Aurora
Post by: TwitchisMental on March 15, 2024, 01:41:00 AM
You could in theory change it to a font awesome icon that matches your theme.

If you wanna remove the icon in general and just use your own image. The logo url setting should be what you need.
