For the record, in V5, the common practice is to keep all your CSS together in one place, in Admin Area -> Themes -> Colors & Styles -> Style Sheet. You can paste in exactly the same code, only this time without the <style> tags wrapping it.

  
Yes, but that way, don't we have to repeat for each and every theme? While putting it in the main header affects all themes at the same time? With the amount of themes I have to change, I think I prefer the Main Header option!

You know MC, I was thinking the same thing, as I had 5 but now 6 themes and it sure made it a lot easier to just place it in a header (Main) for those themes.

aRMY83, if I decide to keep all the skins/themes from 4.5, I have 80 at the moment...

WOW on the 80 and myself dealing with 6 is a bear in it's self. I believe Mands, a member here has 60 plus themes.

Late last nite I did find that by placing this:

<style>
#news { // the news container
height:30px;
background-color: [font color="ff0000"]#c93521[/font];
}
.items div div{ //The font size of your messages
font-size: 20px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#DCDCDC;
}
.title{ // font size of 'news
font-size:large;
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>

in the Main Header, the only settings that works for me are in red and the others, no matter what I set them at, they don't work.

If I place this code, as Tim suggested (without style tags):

#news { // the news container
height:30px;
background-color: #c93521;
}
.items div div{ //The font size of your messages
font-size: 20px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#DCDCDC;
}
.title{ // font size of 'news
font-size:large;
font-weight:bold;
}

in the Style Sheet, then everything within that code works.

That's good to know! I have to admit I haven't tried playing with the colors on the code yet...

I have a Test Site which has been converted so all my testing can be achieved before implementing anything over to the main site and that would even include plugins.

Not all testing / plugins will become a part of the main site if it is not in the best interest of the members.

Nice site!

[blueshead]

I added color for the word "News"
 Place in Admin/Themes/Color and Styles/ Style Sheet

#news { // the news container
height:20px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.items div div{ //The font size of your messages
font-size: 15px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#105469
;
}
.title{ // font size of 'news
font-size:medium;
font-weight:bold;
color:#105469
;
}

A rookie, well not even that. I have tried some of the codes above and it seems I only changed colors

I want to make our News Feed Box bigger. Is there a simple code to do that. I also probably will want to be able to make the font bigger also.


Thanks in advance for your help

[thcri]

Well I will ask again.   I am new to this, I know nothing about programming and codes.   Reading through this thread I am only confused and not sure what codes above to use.   I have been able to make our news feed larger, make the fonts bold but I am still looking for help to change the background and the font color of both News and the text.   I really would like to start over if someone could just help me out with two or three simple steps or codes to make what I want to do.   Again I don't even hit Rookie status here so kids gloves please. 


I want to make the news feed box larger,
I want to be able to change the background color.
I want to be able to change the font color


Just something that is easy and ease of changing.

Can this be done    please please         can some one just give me easy to read instructions?  Trying to follow all of the threads and instructions has me confused.

Hi, thcri.

You can add this to the bottom of the theme you want the news feed bigger on.

Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet

#news { font-size: 16px; }
#news,
#news .items,
#news .nav > span,
#news .nav > span.title { height: 30px; }
#news .nav > span.title,
#news .items > div > div { line-height: 30px !important; }

Change 16px to your preferred font size.

If the font becomes bigger than the news feed container, just increase both sets of 30px to a larger amount.

[thcri]

Brian thank you very much.

Is there anyway of disabling the hover over the word 'News'?
