How do i change the background color for tables ex: quotes, codes ect.

bump plz help

major week later bump

Hi cclloyd9785!

For which version you want the code?
Answer if the following doesn't work.

To change background of quotes...

Code:

.post-entry div {
background : COLORNAME;
}

For the code box...

Code:

dl.codebox dd {
background : COLORNAME;
}

If this codes don't work. Tell me the version you use. The codes may differ as per the versions.

Hope this helps.

that worked for the background, thought it would fix the head of it too. How do i fix that?

Like the background of the boxes is now black but where it says, CODE or QUOTE or SPOILER, its while

Code box header...

Code:

dl.codebox dt {
background : COLORNAME;
}

Spoiler header...

Code:

dl.spoiler dt {
background : COLORNAME;
}

Hope this helps...

finally the boarder needs to be fixed.

-_- i sohuld have just asked how to make it all black at the beggining

Okey, I am giving full code, just forget the above codes
Change the colors and border size as per your needs.

Block quote...

Code:

.post-entry blockquote {
background : COLORNAME;
border : 1px solid COLORNAME;
}

Code box...

Code:

dl.codebox {
border : 1px solid orange;
}

dl.codebox dd , dl.codebox dt {
background : black;
}

Spoiler...

Code:

dl.spoiler {
border : 1px solid COLORNAME;
}

dl.spoiler dt , dl.spoiler dd {
background : COLORNAME;
}

Where do you put that code?

In the forum style sheet...

Admin Panel > Display > Colors > CSS Stylesheet...
paste this code there and click "Save".
You are done.

most of the code worked. the border for the spoiler and code boxes are still white instead of #000000 (black) like i made it with that code.

Try this for borders...

Spoiler :

Code:

.spoiler , .spoiler dt , .spoiler dd {
border : 1px solid #000000;
}

Code Box :

Code:

.codebox , .codebox dt , .codebox dd  {
border : 1px solid #000000;
}

Hope this will work

didnt work

I made a tutorial about this...

Which version you use, cclloyd9785?
Is that Invision?

idk which version.

mabye you can find out by seeing it.

So, here we go
Actually I thought you are running your board on Invision, but it is phpBB3.

This should work now...

Code:

dl.codebox {
border : 1px solid #000000;
}

Hope this will work

it still didnt work.

like its a black background...but the boarder and the seperator line in them is still white. none of these codes have worked.

An example of wat isnt workin is on this TEST TOPIC

bump

Can you please post your forum CSS here?
It would help me find the trouble.
Thanks

well the only other code i had in it was for a fixed bg with a custom picture. everything else was trying to fix this code.

Okey...I just looked at your test topic and got the problem.
The white border is not the border actually
Please remove all the background and border code that I gave you.
Sorry

Here is a new and smaller code to make background and border black.
However, I couldn't change the separator line color.

Code:

dl.codebox {
border : 1px solid #000000;
background : #000000;
}

This is my final try at this. This should work this time.

THANK YOU
it finally worked. mark as completed
