People usually need this for decorating some text, coloring some features, so i taught that it might be nice to write down some nice colors for you to use wuth default blue and gray:

  • |||||||| Color code: #4D4D9B
  • |||||||| Color code: #D7006B
  • |||||||| Color code: #CE0000
  • |||||||| Color code: #9D0000
  • |||||||| Color code: #441593
  • |||||||| Color code: #004566
  • |||||||| Color code: #006393
  • |||||||| Color code: #0080C0
  • |||||||| Color code: #007777
  • |||||||| Color code: #006F00
  • |||||||| Color code: #00592D
  • |||||||| Color code: #797900
  • |||||||| Color code: #996633
  • |||||||| Color code: #9A4E4E

If you like these, and need help with some shade, just ask


Examples of usage:

Changing color + resize of board descriptions:
Open: BoardIndex.template.php

', $board['description'] , '
Replace with
<font size="1" color="#004566">', $board['description'] , '</font>

Changing color + bolding of Posts , and Topics on index:
Open: BoardIndex.template.php

Posts
', $board['posts'], '
Replace with
<b><font color="#006697">', $board['posts'], '</font></b>

Topics
', $board['topics'],'
Replace with
<b><font color="#004566">', $board['topics'],'</font></b>

Note: Use your imagination ;)

That does work with the main boardindex, but doesn't work with Child Boards :(

added:
Oh, I've got it :) Child Boards' description is in the MessageIndex.template.php

i like this. i wanted to share my experience in that by replacing all the graphics used with colors only, SMF is simply the fastest forum platform i have ever used. but i hope someone can make a proper guide on how to do that? i only switched the paths in my theme settings so that my theme URL only would stay same.

index.css

and then all of the coloured images....

If you are using a browser that supports it, you can also right click on a colour on your forum, select inspect element, and it will even give you the line in index.css that relates to that particular item.
