font colour change

[Monkey50]

where would i find the font colour for the categories so i can change the colour

SMF v1.x: style.css, in your theme's directory.

SMF v2.x: index.css, in your theme's "css" directory.

Those files have quite good REM statements, so the section you want should be fairly easy to find.

thanks i changed the colour but what does the bit i am pointing to come under i want the orange bit blue but what does it come under

[kat]

No idea, I'm afraid.

I could find out in the same way that you could, though.

A bit of trial and error.

Read my sig, before you do that, though, woncha?

[Illori]

you have a thread already where you asked this question, please do not open more then one thread one the issue, i have deleted your other thread.

[Monkey50]

i know i did but i thought i opened it in the wrong place before because no one answered. so i seen coding and thought they might be the best place.

[Illori]

no this is a graphics issue, not a coding problem.

[kat]

Or, coding for graphics.

Bit ambiguous, that. I sure would've put it here, to be honest.

I'm just about to fiddle around and see if I can figure this one out, Monkey.

Gimme a while...

[Illori]

i will give you a hint, it is an image not color or text.

[kat]

css is text.

[Illori]

that is not what i mean silly.

[kat]

OOO...

That's norty.

Some of the colours only have three or four figures, instead if six...

[kat]

OK. Just thinking out-loud, here...

I suspect it has to be this bit:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

/* the active button */
.dropmenu li a.active
{
background: url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) no-repeat 100% 0;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
}

The colour's in hex, but only three digits, which is weird, to me.

I'm gonna fiddle with it and report back.

[Illori]

no it is not the color there, it is the background as i said above it is an image.

[kat]

Bugger...

[kat]

If it's an image, how come you can't right-click>Save image as?

[Illori]

because it is set with css and not in the source code

[kat]

Ha! Figured it out!

In the theme's "images">"theme" directory, get menu_gfx.png.

At the top of that graphic, you'll see an orange stripe.

Change that orange to the colour you want.

[Illori]

yep that is one way to change it dont forget the on hover color for the blue may need to be changed in that file as well.

[Monkey50]

how would i change that with notepad++ or just change the colour myself then upload it
