can someone knowledgeable help me with this?

[jeskel]

Hi,

I would like to know if someone knows the vBulletin templates good enough to tell me if that can be done: I would like to modify the bg color of a text quoted without modifying the first and second alternating colors. I also would like to add borders to the quoted area. I wish I could do it myself but I have no idea how to make it. I have attached some gifs that should explain better than my words what I would like to achieve.

1: like it is right now
2: bg color changed
3: only the borders changed

I will try a mix between 2 and 3 to see what looks best.

Thank you very much if you can help me with that.

Regards,

hiya,

that would be the template bbcode_quote, in which the layout of the quote box is defined

you could for example exchange the border setting:

PHP Code:

border:inset 1px 


with a new one like this:

PHP Code:

border: solid #xxxxxx 1px; 


with xxxxxx being the color of your choice to achieve a 1px wide border in your color around the quote box


for the backgroundcolor you would cut out the

PHP Code:

class="alt1" 


and put something like

PHP Code:

 background: #xxxxxx; 


with xxxxxx being the color of your choice
AFTER the border part that we just inserted, so that your tag would look like this:

PHP Code:

<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px; border: solid #xxxxxx 1px; background: #xxxxxx;">

I have one more question about this template: How could I change the font color? I guess it must be pretty easy but I have no knowledge in html/css.. Thanx a lot if someone can help me.

search for

PHP Code:

$message 


put

PHP Code:

<font style="color:#xxxxxx"> 


with xxxxxx being the color of your choice in front of it and

PHP Code:

</font> 


after it
