When it comes to colouring the fora on the index page on a per category base it don't see a way to avoid it.

Using adjusted styles for categories/fora is a different matter - there this approach is okay.

This is one of Arty's (Artodia) styles - in certain aspects they are a little "special":
CSS files have been changed to Sass, a very powerful language for generating stylesheets. Style loads only 1 CSS file instead of multiple CSS files, reducing page loading speed.
(see => https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... pic/141916 )
In standard prosilver and its direct derivates stylesheet.css contains the list of the corresponding style's stylesheets in the order they are being imported (= loaded) so there is nothing one should or could edit in this file (besides adding further, self-created stylesheets if needed).
All editing is done in the individual stylesheets.

In terms of technical correctness this may be somehow over-simplified:
Arty's style use SASS, providing a CSS compatible syntax with a lot more features than standard CSS. Compiling "translates" this into "regular" CSS and "writes" all of the resulting CSS code into one single file => stylesheet.css.
Each compiler run will re-create this file from scratch, whiping out any earlier versions of it.
That's why you never edit stylesheet.css - you edit either individual .scss files or, in certain cases, the ones I mentioned in an earlier post.
What matters is in this style you should never edit stylesheet.css!
(again see => https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... pic/141916 )

You should follow Arty's directions to avoid running into problems in the process of further individualizing this style sooner or later.

As I wrote before:

Yes, to avoid possible future trouble you should "transfer" your stylesheet.css edits to the correct files.

In case it isn't too pressing (I'm off for a few days):

Part of what you did is already transfered - it'll take some more time to adress the rest.

On the contrary, but you didn't even try.

The code pit-PL provided does work, so what do you mean by "it's not working": "not at all" or "not the way as expected"?
If "not at all": did you recompile the stylesheet after adding the code to _custom.scss?
If "not as expected": which element(s) exactly do you want to add a border to?

sorry, i'm wrong

I was wrong, I'd put the code in the file _colors and not in the file _custom

but unfortunately there is no the border when I open the topics list

I solved it by changing _content file here:

Code: Select all

dl.icon dt .list-inner {
	padding-left: 60px;	
60px before was 55px, i hope is right/correct
