TOPIC: JComments

I would like to change the colors of the comment box to match my color skeme..

ok

P.S. If you really would like help with this, you should give more info - such as joomlacomment version, template in use, what color sheme, best a link to your site and so on.

The version is 4.0 i would like a black background of course w a lighter color text, i would like the top "blue" bar to be "red"...basically the site will be black grey and red..

Well, I would like a cup of coffee, but nobody is bringing it for me

Try to change the css - there is a black css file comming with beta1 and the modern template - perhaps it fits your needs.

Steve,

Take a look at the file on your webhost located here:...open it up in a Text Editor. You can fiddle with the values in there, save them and refresh your page to see what it changed Make sure in your JoomlaComment layout settings it's set to Modern Template and Black stylesheet though.

Tip - color:#000000; means a black font. Changing it to #FFFFFF for example will make it white, its in hex RGB format. All standard CSS / HTML things

EDIT: Here's a great little article that's well worth a read if you're new to CSS and want to get stuck in quick and easy www.makeuseof.com/tag/amateurs-guide-to-...design-with-firebug/

I would, sir! But I think it would be cold by the time it gets there...

i'm sorry i should have explained better...i know web design very well...i just needed to know where and which the file css file to change...thanks..didn't mean to take up too much of your time

Oh! Sorry James, bit of a breakdown of communication we had there

Alrighty, well if you take a look at the index.html for whichever template, you can see it's pretty well laid out and valid code, we have class names assigned to things that need them. The CSS files might actually be a little too "verbose" (more styling than really needed) but it's all very capable and ready to be changed

If you are interested in customizing a template you probably should base it on the Modern one and not the others as its the only with 100% valid markup (as far as I know).

If you do not use Firebug already, I highly suggest you take a look - the Inspect Element option in the right-click menu is fantastic. Good luck and happy tinkering!
