Post Background Color

Hack: Post Background Color
Version: v1.03b
Author: MarcoH64

Description
Create Color Schemes, set specific colors for different styles to match the styles colors the best. Give usergroups permissions to attach
a color scheme as background to a post. Great to allow Admins/Moderators to highlight important posts in a thread for example.

Features
- Create Color Schemes
- Override the default color for a Color Scheme for each Style if needed.
- User Usergroup permissions to allow/deny the use of background colors

[applehat]

pfft. No "Thanks Applehat for pointing this out"

haha, jk. Will update now.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Lol was a bit in a hurry posting the update.

Ofcourse no fixes without people reporting bugs, so thanks applehat (lol what a name).

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Does anybody have an example of a good usage for this hack?

[applehat]

haha....I thought it was cool, but have not used it yet....

Maby to highlight some post? Like I run a board with Indoor Tanning information, and i could use it to highlight usefull posts or something.

Realy dont know, just looked cool :-)

[applehat]

You know what would be a nice add on? Not just being able to set a background color, but being able to set a background image...and how to repeat and align it...

Or can this already be done by doing url("blah")?

[applehat]

Just try'd...nope :-P

[applehat]

Also, this works fine in 3.5.2...so you can update the hack info.

So you're going to Tan some posts.

Lol i made this after someone was requesting/talking about this a couple of weeks ago. More just as an excercise. I can't even find the thread of the user who was once requesting it.
