Updated to 4.2-b1: Since there were some fairly large changes since 4.1.4 somethings may look a bit different but all in all the style remains in its original form.
This style is in beta stage, please remember to take backups when making major changes to your website styles/skins. Use this at your own risk!
I love this style, and am using it at boss302.org.
The Profile pages are a little hard to read though... the area on the left where the user information is displayed is black fonts on dark gray, as are the unhighlighted tabs and the "Customize my Profile" button on the right.
I've been trying to figure out how to edit these colors but have been unable to figure it out. Any hints or help? Just trying to get it more readable...
For example, I had a background image for my header only, and the Customize my Profile was picking it up... a little strange...
Profile customization is something left to the admin of the site really. When making a style to release here we have no idea if a user is going to have the options enabled for profile customization so to include edits in the templates or additional.css can cause errors.
With that said there are some ways to get it right.
Login as a admin and go to your profile page. You should see a button above the editor on the right that says "Customize Profile". Click it and customize the style how you like it to be for everyone, then click the button that says "Save as Site Default".
Please note that this makes it these colors for every style you have installed.
Other option is disable profile styling here:
Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> User Profile Options -> Enabled User ProfileFeatures
After disabling that you can now use CSS to style the user profiles. If I get some extra time here soon, I will try and get a template made so it looks proper.
Thanks, I will check that out. I'm not sure if I was clear, but I was attempting through the stylevars to edit the look and feel of the profile page, because it's just hard to read using the default colors (I have not modified the colors specified in the downloaded style).
I will try your method, but given that some of the colors in the profile are tied stylevars or CSS to other areas of the board, will modifying the look and feel of the the entire forums and CMS? Just curious.
