phpBB Modders theme

Post by JobKnockey »

Hello, I am using the framework from the theme provided by phpBB Modders.

I am trying to change the colour of the border which surrounds the forums, which I have been informed contains bg_list.gif and bg_list_clean.gif.

I am changing this from red to green, but for some reason there is a problem with how it appears.

I changed the two references to the two red HEX codes to the green I am using, so I don't understahd how this is not working properly.

Could you please help me remedy this? I have zoomed in to compare the two images and I don't see what I have done that makes it appear so differently.

Ok cool, so if I am following you right - what you are saying is that there is a difference with how your green image is displayed because half way down it changes to a lighter shade of green right?

I think the background colour is ever so slightly out, which is strange because even taking the value from the gif itself is still not matching up - anyhow try this:

In your file called "colours.css" find this code:

Code: Select all

.forabg {
	background-color: #a9ca2b;
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_list.gif");
}
And change it to:

Code: Select all

.forabg {
	background-color: #93B123;
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_list.gif");
}

There are only a few colors that webbrowsers display correctly as a color-code. Probably that color is one of the bad ones.

Ya, very few and far between, it is just strange when you actually encounter an example. It could also be the fact that it is a gif with a limited colour range for optimisation.
