I see the support forum is down for this theme but I have some questions on changing some colors and backgrounds. Who or where should I direct these questions to?

1. In posts, I would like to lighten up the text color a bit as it is too dark, as well as the "Forum Name > Forum Category > Board Name" small links at the top.

2. The sticky posts background is all white and its hard to read the text and sticky posts in board view, how can I make this better looking?

Not bad but I am not really liking the header/logo font.

Hello can you tell me how to edit the text that is desplyed in posts to people I want to know how to edit the color of this as it is blended in too much and needs to be brighter or white text

[MovedGoalPosts]

If you use firebug add on with firefox, or google's chrome browser which has a similar function, you can inspect an element in the web page.  That will lead you to the css code that colours the text, usually in the theme's index.css file.

Index.css

Find and change the color on both these to how you like.

Code Select Expand


.windowbg, #preview_body {
  color: #5B5B5B;
}


Find:

Code Select Expand


.windowbg2 {

My apology for the delay in responding to this. If you still need a solution to this here it is.

In theme's  /css/index.css

Find

Code Select Expand


#topnav li li {
width: 200px;
height: auto;
padding: 0;
}


Replace with

Code Select Expand


#topnav li li {
width: 300px;
height: auto;
padding: 0;
}


Find

Code Select Expand


#topnav li ul {
background: #202020;
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
left: -999em;
margin-left: -1px;
}


Replace
Find

Code Select Expand


#topnav li ul {
background: #202020;
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
left: -999em;
margin-left: -1px;
}


It is caused by long language strings but this should do it.
If you need it to be wider, just alter the width of 300px.

Got a couple of questions if you can answer them i did ask in forums but was sent here anyway i am looking to change a few things if you could help.

1. As you can see from the picture below i have successfully removed most of the navigation bar i will be removing the rest next This is due to being integrated into my website. So the question is everything from the navigation upwards can i remove it and bring general category up so it sits just under my navigation bar. ?

(the forum is in iframes)

1. Welcome, Guest. Please login or register. - Is it possible to remove this IE hidden and also is it possible for me to have this integrated into my website so they can log in on one of my .html pages instead of having to visit forum to sign in.

Yes you can remove all the stuff from the top area of the theme.

In index.template.php remove everything between

<div id="header">
</div>


PS: The link you posted don't work.

[electricwildflower]

Thank you it worked like a charm only thing left showing is the place which featured the sign in & banner which i want to remove and bring the forum up and the nav bar which i will be removing the links from the nav soon.

Sorry i updated my site and the file changed

http://keepitrealkeepitgoth.3owl.com/forum.php

[The Domain Shop]

You can completely remove the

<div id="header"></div>

This will remove the header background and lift the rest upwards

and for menu, remove the entire section in index.template

<div id="navibar"></div>

[electricwildflower]

Thank you it works great i will remove the menu once i get my links on my site sorted out thanks for quick response.

One more question is it possible for me to add my custom nav bar & banner outside of the forums IE where the header and log in button was ?

I have asked in the forums but so far no reply my nav bar is rendered using css for the styles and html for the rest of the nav bar ?

It would be much better than having to use iframe as i carn't seem to break out of them and end up with the forum loaded twice

[The Domain Shop]

Yes its possible. You should have just took black storm and totally restyled the entire top half and menu to make it look like your index page instead of using frames.

I must say I like this theme, it's a lot cleaner that some of the other ones I used so I guess you based it off the default code or your just that good. Either way well done.

Ok, now that I said all that...

There seems to be a padding issue wih the banner / news item. Now sure if anyone else gets this but so far this is all that I found that's weird.

Edit: There also seems to be some missing images like the "new" thing that tells you there's a new reply to a post if other indicators are stupidly missed heh. I should be able to copy that fro mthe default directory but it has me curious what other images might be missing since some are only ever seen in certain admin menus like when moving boards etc.

[The Domain Shop]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'padding issues' maybe it is that your logo is 610 x 152 and the css is set to 384 x 80?
Its also too high for the header, the head hight is only set to 130px.

You need to either use a logo that is smaller or adjust all the css for the entire header area to force the logo to fit.

You need to check your permissions for the image folders, i was getting a 404 error at first for all your images, but now all images seem to be loading fine and the new.gif loads for me http://www.dust514corps.com/Themes/Blackstorm/images/english/new.gif

Go back and check now, even with my image gone and back to the base image. The "news" is still pushed way behind it.

That's why I aid something about padding issues.

Ps; One of my users said they like the dope new theme were using ;-)

Edit: As for the images, that's because I copied all the missing ones from the default images directory.

[The Domain Shop]

I do see and of-course if you try to cram a news line with 44 + words in it, its going to push everything around.
The news line only spans 50% of the header area, so if your news line is too long its going to break the styling. Even if we were to alter its positioning and set it to span 100% it still wouldn't fit.

Shorten your news line to a single line and see how it looks then.

Edit: Also the theme as been checked and all images are present and correct, the new.gif is not copied from the default as its completely different.

On every other site I have had, the news line alway pushed down to expand, it never pushed up and be hidden. Guess I'll start diggin in to the CSS and pray I get it right.

[MoreBloodWine]

So far so good but how do I expand the width of the black back piece to the header ?

Here's what I've done so far: http://www.dust514corps.com/
