We added a new "Dark" Theme named "GamerZ" if anyone is interested.

Hum...

Trying it out...

It's definitely easier on the eyes.

Is there any way to maybe make the subject line in posted messages a different color, maybe a light blue? That would give a better visual indication of where each message starts. I'm struggling with that.

Sure... gimme a bit.

Same with the box where a message quotes another message.

I like the dark mode, it's easier on the eyes, but right now it's far too monolithic.

Dark is good, lack of contrast is problematic.

Thanks. I am trying it out. I think I will like it at home as I normally turn off most of the lights in the evening. It is nice when the computer isn't lighting up the entire room.

This CSS code is eating my lunch! I am trying to find exactly what I need to change to do what ya want but have hit all around it at this point. Taking a break and will try again after my eyes and brain have had a reat, guys.

Set the background color for the flow-hidden class to change the background for the subject line.
Background color for the bbc_standard_quote class will change the quote background.

THANKS! I poked and tested till I was cross eyed. Will do after dinner. Thanks again!

Sinus migraines SUCK! looking to it now guys. Wish me luck!

DONE! @cordex, THANKS so much for the LARGE hint! (Even if ya DID obscure it by using a Hyphen instead of the Underscore that was actually used) ;-)

Comments? (a tip jar IS available... for cordex!)

PS: here is where I choose my colors from: https://herohog.com/CSScolorChart.shtml

OOOooooohhhhhh! Modify Message uses the new background color! Gonna tone that back a notch...

There, I can live with that better.

HeroHog · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2024, 10:49:05 PM »

@cordex, the problem I was having was that I was trying just to change the FONT color, not the background. I could change the "« Reply #12 on: Today at 21:38:50 »" text color but not the Title line(s) above it. I like your way better anyway.

Test

Should I see a different background color for quotes? Is there a setting I need to change on my end?

How do we change to this?

HeroHog · « **Reply #16 on:** November 16, 2024, 12:31:04 AM »

My bad, I forgot to tell you to do a SHIFT-REFRESH (F5? depends on the browser)! If that doesn't work, clear yer browser's cache.

Yes, the quote DOES have a different BG color. If ya can't stand it, come to a consensus and I will change it. Some of this DOES "bleed over" into other areas but not so much as to really mess things up. SHIFT-REFRESH (F5? depends on the browser) and play around and see what works and what you don't like. I ONLY changed those 2 colors, the dark blue and the lighter blue(ish) colors.

Shift - F5 brings up the Developer Tools in Firefox. Too late/tired to even want to look at those tools tonight.

Hold SHIFT and Left-Click the Reload icon in the toolbar...

You have to have Admin rights to edit the index.css file for the GamerZ theme. You also need to COMMENT EVERY CHANGE in the header AND at the point of the edit with the change made, the date and your name in case there are any issues. The average user can't do this.

Thanks HeroHog!

Hey, thank cordex, he found WHERE the code needed to be and that was the hard part (for me), I just typed in some code and comments. (well, I DID choose the COLORS so I'll take a LITTLE of yer thanks!

One last request, HH...

There's a dividing line between the message area and the signature.

Right now it's black on dark gray and is almost impossible for me to pick up when I'm reading messages. How about making that dividing line more colorful? Dark red, a lighter shade of blue, again, something that stands out and gives an easy visual cue.

Tuco · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2024, 03:17:56 PM »

Yeah. This is cozy
