TOPIC: cant change fonts color

hi there

i cant change font color on the comment form .

And now my users cant see where they are supposed to fill their name

here is a link

www.hafeyot.co.il/index.php?option=com_c...les&Itemid=11#josc29

of course there is no problems with other themes - but i like this theme best for my site.


tried changing the font color to BLACK in the CSS and template index but nothing happens!

any advice ?


all the best

Do you use custom CSS file?

i use
CSS green
and
default emotop


than fits best for my site`s colors

Me too, me too!

I suspect the problem is due to the font color of the site being white, as I don't see where the color of the Name, Title and Email fields are denoted. Could be wrong. I've put in the color codes, and then tried "black" as well -- no dice. Tried replacing instances of "white", and added the color command to "item" and "sectiontableentry1"... but... it just refuses to change for me. At some point, I managed to change the font color in the header area... but... um... that wasn't what I was hoping for

This is a wonderful component, by the way -- thank you guys SO MUCH for doing all this work!!!

Exactly the same problem - and i have tried exactly the same non working solutions

no answer?

I don't have the time to play with the css, but quick hints.

In the backend you can change the css file to be used. If you do it - then you will see that with some css the background of the form is changing, so there is no bug here, but you cannot find the right place to write your background. So study the differences between 2 css files and see what you have to change.

hi there
thanks for the answer but...


i changed css style but it doesn`t fit my site`s colors.


i noticed the differences between the 2 css , but it seems it has no effect when i am re-writing them .

i have permissions and the files are not protected on the server or something like that .


where exactly am i supposed to change font color .


(i change with firebug and still no go!)


thanks again

You want to tell me that if you take the 2nd css file and replace the first with it - nothing change? That can not be!

no....

what i meant was - when i edit parameters within both of the CSS - it has no effect on front end .

Hm, look in the source code if you are editing the right css files.

I looked all over this forum and couldn't find a decent answer, but figured it out myself so I thought I'd share, for what it's worth to others having the same problem.

To make the white text show up as black on the comment submission form, open your css.css file and look for the following:

Add the following line to the above chunk:
The end result should look like this:
I did this for PhishBucket.org's comment display and it worked like a charm. Hope that works for you!

at last.........


meaning it wasn`t changing something exsiting like i tried over and over .......but ADDing a code line ..

thanks a lot!

another thing while we are at it ............



couldn't find in what line in the css-green.css (the one i am using) i can change
the preview comment color on the homepage


it is too green and it`s hard to read .

212.150.123.12/



(tried locating this font color with no success )


thanks!

There seem to be a few parts in css-green.css that pertain to the comment preview, but I would look for something that looks like this in the file (for me, it was near the bottom):

Since no color is defined in here, try experimenting by again adding a line for color as in the previous example. Hopefully that does it for you.
