Changing the navbar background color

[johnstires]

How does one change the navbar background color without changing the other popup menus?

I tried to create a custom style named .navbar_bgcolor and replaced all the vbmenu_control tags in the navbar template with navbar_bgcolor, but it did not work.

I think my CSS was off

This is what I put in my custom style:

.navbar_color { font-color: #FFFFFF;
background-color:#4C1A79;
}

The color changes but not the font color. However the font defaulting to the body style color.

you dont want to use font-color as the links arent controled by the font attribute

try something like this

.navbar_color a:link, a:visited {font-size: 12px; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: underline;}
.navbar_color a:hover,  a:active {color: #E1E1E2; text-decoration: underline;}

This works, however it is wreaking havoc on other links on the board in IE. Why would a custom class be changing the style in other templates when the only template I have been fiddling with is the navbar.

How can I hard code this to change the background. Everything else can stay the same. I just want to bg color to be:#4C1A79.

I can change the <td> but not the <table> or the <tr>

This is the start of the code, shouldn't I be able to place style="background: #4C1A79" somewhere in there for the entire navbar to be made dark purple?

<div align="center">
	<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">


<td id="newlink" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">PYC Home</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("newlink"); </script></td>

try placing the code you mentioned within the <div align="center" tag

<div align="center" style="background:.......>

Maybe that'll work

I tried that before and it didn't work.

THe guys at vb.com helped me figure it out. I placed this in my additional CSS:

/* ***** navbar back color ***** */

.navbar_color
{
	background: #4C1A79;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	padding: 3px 6px 3px 6px;
	white-space: nowrap;
}
.navbar_color a:link, .navbar_color_alink
{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.navbar_color a:visited, .navbar_color_avisited
{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.navbar_color a:hover, .navbar_color a:active, .navbar_color_ahover
{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration: underline;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Then I changed all the vbmenu_control tags in the navbar to navbar_color.

That worked.
