Still waiting on the update to make the white things coulered

thanks Fraggs but one question: are we replacing the old code with the new or adding in these examples? Your first post says adding and your second says updating. I'm not experienced enough a coder to know if it even makes any difference but it sort of sounds like we are supposed to be replacing old with new in both cases?

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Basically he is saying

Find
input.textbox:focus

Replace it with
input.textbox:focus, input.textbox

There are two isntances on the editor.css I changed both of them looks like it fixed it for me using the VB4.02 CMS Version...

ONLY BLACK-ONLY DARKNESS

Thanks!

[Fraggs]

Yeah, sorry. You're not technically replacing anything, just adding another tag to what's already there. But, in all honesty, simply replacing the whole thing will still give you the same end result both in code and in the finished output.

I actually found several other things to change too, but unfortunately didn't think to write them down. The ones I remember were.

reset-fonts.css which is under the same category as editor.css

find legend{color:#fff;} and change the fff to eee
that will change the color of the section texts at the bottom of posting a new thread from black to the same color as the rest of the white-ish text on the site.

editor.css find

.editor_textbox_container {
width:99%;
float:{vb:stylevar left};
margin-{vb:stylevar right}:-{vb:math {vb:raw vboptions.smcolumns} * ({vb:stylevar editor_smiliebox_smiliesize} + 5) + 10};
}

change the width to 100% to regain the right side border of the edit window in the Post New Thread section.

The rest was finding and changing various items in the StyleVars such as the calendar backgrounds for other months, though that was just a personal desire, not really necesarry. The day of week link color for the main calendars as once again I don't like black text on dark gray background. The page navigation font color was also black on dark gray, so that had to be changed. Also, either something I changed also changed the color of the buttons such as Submit Thread and others across the site. Not sure if that was a change or if I accidentally changed something else. Either way, I had to hunt and peck for the background stylevar to those buttons to re-darken them. I unfortunately don't remember where all the StyleVars were, but they are "mostly" worded properly to find them. Time for example. When dealing with those, just stay on that page and change what you think it is, refresh your forum in another browser tab and see if it changed. If not, set it back to what it was and try another one.

edit: Also if you have vBa CMPS the Private Messages link in the User CP is too dark, so I had to find the StyleVar controlling that and changed it to the blue color that the rest of the links were.

I also want to point out that I only tested these changes in FireFox 3.6 and IE 8 so I can't vouch for correctness in other browsers at this time.

also needs to be updated to

.blockrow textarea:focus, .blockrow textarea {
/* REMOVE UPDATE */
color:#eeeeee;
background:#25292c;
background-color:#25292c;

/* REMOVE UPDATE */
}

I appreciate the support. We are implementing fixes that will be effective sitewide.

[Fraggs]

Not a problem, I just fixed them on my end because I didn't feel like using a different template in the meantime. But on that note, this post says to go to your website to get the .psd file, but I can't find it there anywhere. Is it just not included yet?

[Fraggs]

Nevermind. Guess it didn't like me the first time through.

[Lestat78]

any plan when next update will come?
