Another stylevar question

[RichieBoy67]

Hey all,

I'm really sorry for asking this but i figured it would save time asking here. I have tried using Firebug and I have tried adding css but I am missing something here.

If you go into the blog page I am talking about the "Create New Post" button. I want to change the font color. I believe the reason I am having issues with this is due to the customization feature.

Does anyone know how I can change this font color?

I really appreciate it,
Richie

Did you try the stylevar control_content_color

[RichieBoy67]

Yes I did and that works fine for the post new thread buttons but it does not work under the blog button.

Thanks

go to edit templates
css templates
look for blog.css
then look for this part:

#pagetitle a.pagetitleinfo.textcontrol, .actionbutton_container a.pagetitleinfo.textcontrol {
background: {vb:stylevar control_content_background};
_background-image: none;
-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px {vb:stylevar control_content_shadow_color};
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px {vb:stylevar control_content_shadow_color};
box-shadow: 0 3px 8px {vb:stylevar control_content_shadow_color};
font: {vb:stylevar control_content_font};
color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};
padding: {vb:stylevar control_content_padding};
border: {vb:stylevar control_content_border};
display:inline-block;
}

Thanks, I know i have already made edits and have added css as well in that template but I could have been editing the wrong section. I will try this.

Thanks alot friend. Much appreciated.

I just checked this and this was the section I already tried. I changed the color to white instead of using the stylevar associated with it but there was no change.

This was what I edited

color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};

Did you add !important after the color code and before the ; ?

The code below works for me NOTE this changes more then the text color ;)

Come to think of it ... I think this changes another button elsewhere as well.


#pagetitle a.pagetitleinfo.textcontrol, .actionbutton_container a.pagetitleinfo.textcontrol {
background: url("images/buttons/newbtn_middle.png") repeat-x scroll left top #397D02 !important;
border: 0 none;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #DAA520 !important;
color: #FFFFFF !important;
display: inline-block;
font: 14px Arial,sans-serif;
padding: 4px 15px;


}

}

I did a test on my testsite and adding !important should do the trick.
not sure of this changes anything else on the forum

another possibilty is to change:

#sidebar_container a {
color: #417D90;
}

but that also affects the sidebar
