How does it look on dark themes?

cTak · #13 02-22-2010, 07:00 PM

How can you change the color of the text?

I have a dark theme with white text and the text is not visible.

Thanks!

rmxs · #14 03-08-2010, 08:54 PM

Thanks

MrMister · #15 03-08-2010, 10:15 PM

Perfect. I have had an issue with my dropdown box and this eliminated the box... Perfect!

Thank you a lot for this one!

to get it like mine in navbar use the code below

Code:

<!-- TheWindows7Site Notifications -->

<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">

<div style="margin: 5px 5px;"> <div style="padding-top:10px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;"> <div style=" -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:5px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:5px; -moz-border-radius-topright:5px; background: none repeat scroll 0 0; border:1px solid #be0000; margin:5px 10px 0; text-align:justify; "> 

<div style="padding-top:3px; padding-bottom:3px;">

<table width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> 
<td width="5%" align="center"><img alt="" src="./images/notification.png" width="40" height="40"/></td> 
<td width="90%">


                
                    <b><u>{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}</u>: <span class="notifications-number"><blink>{vb:raw notifications_total}</span></b></blink>
                    
                        <li><ul>{vb:raw notifications_menubits}</ul>

How do you make Group Invitation notifications go away? I clicked on it and it takes me to my list of group invitations. There is only a 'join' button, no other button to deny the invitation to get rid of the notification.

PukkaBen · #19 03-15-2010, 06:57 PM

Installed and it works great!! Only thing is, I am missing the 'forum/images/notification.png' image, is this something that you have added into the code that we need to download or should I have it from the vB uploaded files?

should be in the attachment.
