Changing Background Color for threads that have been read?

[dragtech]

How and where do i change or add the code to change the background color of threads that have been read, and leave the unread thread as default? I did a search but could not find anthing that helped me.

I'm using VB3.5.4

Thanks

Ack. I thought this would be a great mod to work on then I saw this thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=179813&highlight=threads+unread) with the answers. :) Darn those vB Team. :D

Perhaps i was doing something wrong. But i could not get that to work for me. Nothing would change.

Ahh...Maybe it hasn't been done yet. Hmm... :D

Try this:

In Threadbit template --> threadbit look for:


<td class="alt2" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">


Replace it with:


<!-- COLOR BACKGROUND CHANGE ON READ -->

<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
<td class="alt2" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />
<td class="alt2" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]" style="background:#ff0000">
</if>

<!-- / COLOR BACKGROUND CHANGE ON READ -->


Change "#ff0000" to whatever color you want. The column for read threads (non-bold) will change color while the unread thread columns will remain the same.
