Solved Problem with text/link colour using The World of Ushinau skin

Post by NolaGal Wed Apr 20, 2011 3:53 pm

I apologise to start if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I thought perhaps someone else has used this skin from Hitskins and can help me.

I am using the skin called 'The World of Ushinau' for a newly created forum. I've gotten things set up the way I would like, for the most part, but there is one problem I cannot seem to resolve. When I look at the Display tab on the Administration Panel and specifically colours, all text and link colour codes input are coordinated with the over-all appearance of the skin. However, when I look at the forum itself, there is text that should be a certain shade of green, but instead is black text on the black background. Likewise, the link for Admin and Moderator are both blue when they should be a shade of green to match the appearance of the skin.

Has anyone else had this issue? Should I contact the designer of the skin? Is that even an option? I really love the skin because it fits so well with the theme of my forum, I'd hate to have to find another, but if these issues cannot be resolved, I will do so.

You could post your forum link or version, or screenshots of exact colour problem so we can tell you how to change it. I don't think that the designer wanted black text on black background, maybe he just missed the colour in CSS.

Nera,

I am using phpBB2 version and my forum is http://sacredgrove.forumotion.com.

The problem is in two areas.

1. When a new post is made, the text boxes are black with the black text. I managed to figure out how to make those input boxes white, but then the text is unreadable as it is typed because the default for this skin is a light yellow which is readable on the black background.

2. If you look at profiles, the majority of the information text is black on the black background.

Thanks so much for your help. Smile

Coloured text is reserved for staff only when they moderate, such as this message. Please avoid using coloured text in the future. Smile

For the profile fields, please go to:

1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Users & Groups Tab
3. Profiles (on the left, under Users)
4. Click the modify button (Problem with text/link colour using The World of Ushinau skin Editer) next to a field and edit its colour

I'll take a look at your forum but what exactly are you trying to change?

Base,

Thanks for joining the forum so you can see what I'm referring to. I followed your instructions for fixing some of the colour issues, for which I thank you. I think I've also sorted out the link colour issue I had as well.

The other problem I have seems to no longer exist which makes me think I'm going a little crazy. lol!

Thanks again for your help.
