Vista-AeroGreen Bugs or probs

Jalokim, I know I have talked to you already about a couple of these, but I thought I would post it here, so that it could help others who might have the same problems. And what codes might need added in the CSS.

First of all, Jalokim, don't forget to change the images of New Post and No New Post (the blue arrows). They are reversed. New post should probably be the one that is lit up as blue, and No new posts as the darkened arrow.

And I hope you remembered the Gallery and Calendar images that needed changed. (the MartiGras theme buttons were there) hehe

Okay now I seem to be having some problems with how things are viewed depending upon which browser I am using. But I really don't think that is a problem with the theme itself, but regardless, I would like to figure out how to get some of the features to show on both browsers. Firefox and IE.

The main issue that I am dealing with right now, is how to change the text colors.

When I change them in the normal way that we do. Admin Panel >> Styles >> Colors, then change colors, and save; it will not reflect the changes when viewing on Firefox, but it will when viewing from IE. One case in point, is the Link Text. When posting a url with text, it should be a different color, so that you can tell you have a clickable link. But on firefox it remains to be the same color as the rest of the text. What do I need to do to change the text colors? Change it in the CSS? Altho, I can't seem to find the link text color in the CSS. Or do I need to add a new css code?

Oh, and I am not directing this post to Jalokim only. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

FINALLY!! I found it!!!!

It's here in the CSS that I have to edit the color code # to change it.

/* Links-----------------------------------------------------*/
a:link{
color: #26876B;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited{
color: #346D8E;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active{
color: #00324c;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover{
color: #B0EBDB;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a.forumtitle {
color: #00324c;
font-family: Trebuchet MS,"Lucida Grande",Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.forumtitle:hover {
color: #00324c;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a.forumtitle:active {
color: #00324c;
}
a.topictitle {
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #013e5e;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.topictitle:hover {
color: #00324c;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a.topictitle:active {
color: #00324c;
}

It seems so obvious now. But I could not find this for the life of me, before! lol I still don't know why it will not change in the Admin Panel colors.

thanks... as soon as the comment box on hitskin will be initiated I'll be able to host fixes and all

Altho, I figured out how to change the color of the links. For some strange reason, the links that I have in the forum description, is a strange color when viewed in IE. It's fine in Firefox.

Any suggestion as to how I can fix that?

I am using this code in the Forum Description, to provide a link to the FAQ on the index.

Code:

<span class="gen">Click Here for <a href=my forum's faq url here target=_blank><font color=hex-code-number1>Moonlight Cafe</font><font color=hex-code-number2> FAQ</font></span>

Skittles, i asked you if you have a color code in your forum description! ^^

so you could try to either change the "hex-code-number" parts to the color you need (use a #xxyyzz value that fits), or you remove the <font></font> tags entirely from your code.

OH! lol hehehe I guess I didn't know I had them. I just copied and pasted that entire code from a thread where Caihlem answered someone's question on how to do it. I didn't pay attention to the code, just the url to change.

No really! I knew that! Yeah! that's right...I knew that! I was only testing you.

Okay, now where would I put the color number in at? Where it currently says number2 ?

you'd substitute the entire "hex code number" part:

<span class="gen">Click Here for <a href=my forum's faq url here target=_blank><font color="#xxyyzz">Moonlight Cafe</font><font color="#xxyyzz"> FAQ</font></span>

alternatively, you can also try to just use this one (I'm not sure why there is the class "gen" used anyway)

<span>Click Here for <a href=my forum's faq url here target=_blank>Moonlight Cafe FAQ</span>

and i think the last one is actually the better one to go with... if you want it to have in the same color as all the other links....

Okay sounds great! Thanks!

Well I just put it in. It appears to be working, but I noticed that firebug has a warning that has popped up at the bottom of the screen.

This is what it says...

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIFileOutputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js :: sss_writeFile :: line 2063" data: no]
[Break on this error] createInstance(Ci.nsIFileOutputStream);

I have no idea what that means. lol

After I fixed the other link like the FAQ, it cleared the errors up. So I guess all is well.

The only main problem that I have right now, is that when on firefox, and I think IE too, I forget. lol If you have your resolution higher than 1152 x 864, which I think most people do. The background is cut off at the bottom.

So there is a white bar across the bottom of the screen, where there is no background showing.

But from what I understand there is nothing I can do to change it, since Jalokim created the background image with that setting??

it can be changed

And i know why it changed .. it seams servimg cut of the image cos it was over 864 pixels .... heres how to fix it:

in the CSS:
change the background color to : #78a0b6


<edit> no wait ... it doesn't work... what the hell???
<edit2> no wait I found it...
change the top part of your CSS from:

Code:

* {
 margin: 0px;
 padding: 0px;

 }
html {
font-size: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#min-width {
 min-width: 750px;
 }

body {  background-color: #78a0b6;

to

Code:

* {
 margin: 0px;
 padding: 0px;

 }
html {
background-color: #78a0b6;
font-size: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#min-width {
 min-width: 750px;
 }

body {  background-color: #78a0b6;

what I did was added under the <html> script : background-color #....
and the <body> background

It WORKED!! Woohoo! Thanks! :wééé:

I think this is the skin, theme where the Arrows are dark blue(new post), blue(no new post), and red(locked thread)
with a gradient background that remains fixed?

If so I tried to locate this on Hitskin and it was bye bye....

I used this and now cannot find it.

Does anyone know where it went? if they took it off to rework it?

Thanks

Found it up top thanks

the theme was removed because of its bugs... the new version is on this forum

as you have already noticed

Yes thank you it just took a bit to glance around.

I need some color code help, where is the master color code on the internet so I can look up the colors in CSS to make a few changes?

w3schools is limited and pretty much they borrow from one another instead of working.

Peace

also

I like the mouse over highlighting function, where it's like brushing as you move the mouse. An interesting sensation.

peace
