This looks like its in the vBulletin Options... wouldnt this work better if it was in the Style Manager so that you can customize the colors per style?

Its a good idea but it should work on a per style basis.

Example. Making hot thread appear in red can look extremly good in one style but could be readable in another. :-(

What I would reccomend doing is changing all the:

PHP Code:

<span style="color:' . $vbulletin->options['BLAH'] . '"> 

in the product file to:

PHP Code:

<span class="nameOfClass"> 

With nameOfClass being things like hotThreadColor, closedThreadColor, etc.

Then, add:

.nameOfClass {
  color: #fff;
}

to the Additional CSS Definitions in the All Style Options under the Style Manager. That way, all the admin has to do is edit the All Style Options' Additional CSS Definitions to what colors they want and it will only affect the colors for that one style...

That would be one simple, easy way to do it. But the best way would be if you could add a new field altogether for the All Style Options that works like the Table Footer or Table Header sections... where you can choose color, font, background, etc. But that might require more work than you would want to put in (I'm not sure how much work exactly, because I haven't played with the plugin system too much personally).

I was looking for something that would actually color the background of the table row itself.....

I dont think that is possible with this mod is it?

[MGM]

You'd have to change some of the coding to do that... Instead of: <span style="color: ...

It'd have to be something like: <span style="background: ...

... Actually, it might need to be added to the table cell itself from the templates...
