Portal Colour Issues

by pemang » Sun Jul 22, 2012 6:59 am

Hello,

Being relatively new to the whole PHPBB scene (let alone the board3 mod) i am kinda learning as i go, so please correct me where im wrong :P

Having installed the Dark Red theme i am attempting to get it to work with Board3 Portal. However, the colour scheme is appears to have kept to the prosilver background for the modules on the portal page. I have attached an example image.

I have attempted to change the color in the blocks in:
styles\extremedarkred\theme\colours.css

Finding:

Code: Select all

.bg3    { background-color: #cadceb; }


Replaced with:

Code: Select all

.bg3    { background-color: #999999; }


However, this as yet has not worked and unfortunately that's the extent of my understanding / investigating abilities ;)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

pemang.

You're right, the problem is because I don't use bg3 in the style.

ah i see. Having followed that tutorial, i still am unable to get a consistency across my portal. The layout and background of the main page is fine, however all the modules around the edges still retain a pearl / white background (as shown above).

Any reason / thoughts as to why this might be the case. I have followed all the instructions correctly (copying the folders and files from prosilver) and other themes work fine, however, extremedark red doesnt appear to apply its background to the surrounding modules.

a bit confused as to why this might be the case.

Open styles/extremedarkred/theme/colours.css
Find:

Code: Select all

ul.forums {
   background-color: #eef5f9;
   background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/gradient.gif");
}

Replace with:

Code: Select all

ul.forums {
   background-color: #999999;
   background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/gradient.gif");
}


Open styles/extremedarkred/theme/colours.css
Find:

Code: Select all

.bg1   { background-color: #ECF3F7; }

Replace with:

Code: Select all

.bg1   { background-color: #999999; }


If you like of another color, just change #999999 to your favorite color.

After change this files, refresh the extremedarkred theme.
