Changing Default Skin Colors

[Blumy]

I'm running a pretty basic forum and I like the simplicity of the default vBulletin skin. However, I'm looking to change the colors to match my homepage. I have changed the gradients, but what would be the best way to go about changing the rest of the colors?

Go to your admin cp, expand the Styles & Templates link and click on Style Manager.

Look for your default skin, select All Style Options and press go.

Now scroll down a bit and you will see sections such as "Body". Click on the colour block and you can change it to whatever you like. If you need some help customising your forum, send me a PM and I will help you to the best of my abilities.

Good luck.

Also, is there any way to get rid of the underline on usernames? It does it on this site though.

usually within the style... I would recommend doing some CSS Crash course..

text-decoration: none;

can be done in Body { or a:hover, a:active, body_ahover {

and


a:link, body_alink {


etc...

[Blumy]

Yeah but where do i find the spot to add the code?

have you done any reading on the CSS properties ,

should be under styles (your style ) and CSS

[Blumy]

Yeah I read through that and everywhere it said text-decoration underline i changed it to none.

[Xtrato]

did it work for you? , look trough what text specifically you are trying to edit .... each text might have its own class.. example td head etc..

[Blumy]

No it didn't. I'm looking to change this underline:

Under the username.

there is a class by :

class="bigusername"

so look for your class and change it to :

.bigusername {
font-size:14pt;
text-decoration:none;
}

[Blumy]

Is that located in AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Postbit Templates -> Postbit/Postbit_legacy?

.bigusername is a css class. It is under styles & templates > main css > go to the bottom of the page under additional css definitions.

Aha found it. Looks much better, thank you! :)
