Theme Modification Help

[BaconWizard17]

Hi all,

Our site owner just upgraded our site to SMF 2.1.4. We were back at 2.0.17 for the longest time. With the upgrade, we picked a new theme that was compatible with 2.1. We wanted to do something that was close to our previous theme, and we found this one. It works very well overall and is fairly similar to our previous look. However, there are two issues with it that are a bit of an issue:

1. The text on the quote and reply buttons is basically the same color as the background, so you can't really see where they are.

2. The site works generally very well on mobile (all menus are easily accessible, things are legible, etc), but there's an issue with the profile picture taking up way too much space on posts, squishing them down to just a few letters per line. This is not an issue on the desktop version.


I have no experience with SMF themes, so I have no clue where to look to address these issues. I know that the files can be accessed in the admin center in Configuration>Modify Themes, but I'm not really sure which file to look in and what to change. Any help would be appreciated!

You can ask the theme author for help with that -

For the last edit text color you can search in your theme css: .keyinfo h5 .modified and change color: #333 to #ccc.

Also I tried to register on your forum, but I still haven't received email after few times...

You have to be careful changing font colors because fixing it in one field may cause problems in others.  Removing the avatar from narrow displays, as on this forum, is the usual fix for your other problem.

Ah, I had no clue that releases had their own topics like this. Thanks! Although it seems like it hasn't been supported for a while...

Your suggestion fixed it. Thanks for that. Looks like the other text color is also something that others have reported issues with, with one person fixing it but no one posting how to fix it...

Regarding registration emails, our site owner is aware of that issue and is working on fixing it this week.

Is there any documentation where I could get an idea of how to do that?

Not really....   the best suggestion is to experiment with the Browser inspector/editor

And learn about @media queries.  Look in /Themes/default/css/responsive.css.
