Because the font color inside the box is the same as the background color
Can some one help telling us how to change the font color inside the box

I am having a similar problem: My popup box background color is the same as my forum page and because of this, the text cannot be easily seen. I wish I could change the background color. I cannot install this mod until I get some help with changing the font color and background color.

Another thing that would be helpful is that if the popup could be made to locate itself to the center of the page instead of whereever the highlighted text might appear. This request is because if one highlights some text near the far right edge of the screen, the popup is half off the page and can not be dragged into view or seen - rendering it useless.

This mod has potential, but until it is developed a bit more it is hard to use. Thanks for working on this. I hope you or someone with programing knowledge can fix the bugs.

Thanks,
kether

Anyone?
Thanks! K

Nice addon

[demoniavbh]

Could it be possible to let user choose if they want this enabled or not?
I only have a few foreign members and this would be very helpful for them, but the other members will get pissed off by getting that everytime they mark something...

[Coroner]

This should come in a later version - but this time, I'm too busy.

[demoniavbh]

Ok, perfect, I just wanted to know if that could be possible

Whenever you have time (don't worry) do it and update for 3.8:P

THANKS A LOT!
