Changing the Text Color

Patty_OZUTES

Hey there,
I am using the "Joie" theme and the Shout box is showing and working fine, but when I changed the theme all the colors changed to suit the new theme which is great but the text is really dark and hard to read on the dark background, how would be the best way to change that color ?

I think that mod only displays for members.

If you want us to figure it out, supply a test account : user / pass

Okies, you really need to understand css.

But the vanshout thing, albeit maybe a nice plugin, needs serious work with regard to its attributes.

Anyhoo.

In custom.css

#shoutboxText ul li strong  {
    color: #9E0226;
    font-weight: 400;
}

change 9E0226to whatever colour takes your fancy

optioanlly add:

#shoutboxText a {
    font-weight: 700;
    margin-right:4px;
}

And CLICK like button not, answer accepted

Also in vanshut input element. The code is ...

< input id="shoutboxMessage" type="text" maxlength="256" size="18px" value="" name="shoutboxMessage" onkeypress="checkLength();" style="background-color: black;">

so in css add :

#shoutboxMessage {color:#fff;}

I can't seem to find the #shoutboxMessage etc in the custom.css file

Is there a certain place I need to add -> #shoutboxMessage {color:#fff;}

Add it.

Cool thanks for that.

did someone delete my post? I said I was using the big city theme and there's no custom.css file so I don't know where to put the code above. I tried putting it in the bigcity.css or whatever but it didn't work.
