How To Make Board With Semi-Opacity?

[GG2012]

How can I make icons with a transparent background for my forum?

[GG2012]

I had recently changed the colors of my forum, but I later realized that the quote box color is white and the font colors in the quote box is close to the color white which makes it unreadable. I only need to change one of the colors but have, but I have been playing with the colors in the administration panel (even the quote box color) and nothing changes. Can someone help me with this?

Hello,

1) Just save the image as .png and it will be transparent.

2) You will have to await till one of our resident coders pop on it to further assist you

what version are you using?

you can try this in your css.. but you may also be able to do it from you colors in the admin panel.As you see you will have to add the colors you want for where you want them. background,border and text

Code:

.quote{
   background: #525252;
   border: 1px solid #000000;
   color: #E7E7E7;
   font-size: 10px;
   line-height: 125%;
}

Is it solved?

[GG2012]

well, I was able to fix the font color.

But I 'm still unable to figure out the quote box color? because thereare a few areas where they are still un-readable because of the white quote box ( I already changed the color for this I thought).

Code:

.quote{
  background: #525252;
}

Add this to your css to change the background color of the quote box.

How can I make icons with a transparent background for my forum?

you can use the open source program called GIMP. in order to make your icon transparent check this tutorial or this one
i found both of them really helpful!
you can download GIMP here for Linux or here for windows
i hope i've helped you

p.s do not forget to save your edited photo in .png format. because that is the only format that lets you to have a transparent image

Code:

.quote{
  background: #525252;
}

Add this to your css to change the background color of the quote box.

Thanks so much! although this exact code seem to not show, I played around with it and this was what seemed to have worked.

Code:


.post-entry blockquote {
  background-color : #EDEDC7 !Important;
}

The codes are not better, but I had assumed also the area that shows once you hit enter for a post and it takes you to a new page to let you know:

Your message has been entered successfully.

Click here to view your message

Click here to return to the forum

The first line for the "message entered successully" is visible, but "click here" messages show as white and the background where it's posted is also white. I think because I have white colored fonts in a few areas of te forum. But, iis it possible to change this too?
Is it a code for it?

Thanks Ecatodarcus, yes I was able to save and upload the png files. Is there a way how I can and a semi-transparency to the parts of the forum? Right now it's completely transparent in these areas, that's how it has always been. But I only want semi-reansparent. I use PunBB
