how can I change teh title colour of global announcements

by Flappypaddles December 19th 2011, 11:26 am

I want to have announcements and global announcements in a series of different colours to determine the severity, but I don;t want the members to be able to use different colours for the thread titles.
there must be a way to do it but I cannot find it

Add in your CSS Stylesheet:

Code:: div.announcement div.inner ul.topiclist li.row dl.icon dd.dterm div.topic-title-container h2.topic-title a.topictitle{ color: #F00 !important; } div.announcement div.inner ul.topiclist li.row2 dl.icon dd.dterm div.topic-title-container h2.topic-title a.topictitle{ color: #F00 !important; }

will that allow me to select different colors say red, yellow and green?

Yes: replace #F00 by:
yellow, red, green, indigo, and more and more... Wink

will that not change the color of all teh announcement. Mine have all gone red now, which is fine, but I would like to put different announcement in a different color to show the urgency.

If I do that in the CSS wont it just change everything? or do i do it in the title bar as well with [color=xxx]

When you want, for example red color you need to have: color: red !important; without # Razz

if that is not possible how about making global annoucements red
normal announcement green
and stickies blue for instance.

at the moment all announcements are red

I was hoping that I could a sort of urgency arrangement by having different colors for the different type of urgency

so very urgent announcements would be red. quite urgent would be yellow and normal announcement green for instance.

while I understand that might be a trifle difficult the alternative I thought of was perhaps having
global announcemnts as red
general announcements as green and stickies as blue. for instance

at the moment the code you gave me will change the first announcement to one color and the second to another and then do the same for globals and stickies.

so if i have it red and green

it goes

global
global

announcement
announcement

stickie
stickie

what I would like is
global
global

announcement
announcement

stickie
stickie

what I would really like is to be able to rank global announcements in order of importance

so you might get something like this

global very important
global very important
global very important
global quite important
global quite important
global quite important
global quite important
global important
global important
global important
global important
global important

I imagine that would need some way to actually give the announcement some sort of numeric value though

If I can just get the global announcements, announcemnts and stickies in different colors that will do for now.
