[Solved] Borders

[Quintur]

I am working on editing my site, not using a pre-made skin, but just editing the colours of the Proboards default.

01. I am wanting to make the border that goes around the category boards to continue around the category title too. - Solved with the help of Nori .

02. Also I would like a border, or another background colour that goes like; prntscr.com/ju2tgj That distance around the boards, so that when I actually put a image bg it would be visable on the blue parts surrounding. - Solved with the help of telh .

03. Would the entire site be able to be slightly transparent so the BG would eventually be able to be visable through it? - Solved via this thread; support.proboards.com/thread/474964/code-changing-opacity-forum-works

I don't know if someone would be able to assist with these, but I hope so.

Hey Quintur!

I think I did something similar to what you're requesting on my site and it looks like this.

There is a way to make the boards transparent (i accidentally did that when I was figuring out the border way) but I wouldn't recommend it because it fades even the text to the point where it's very hard to see. As for the category board, I don't think I'll be much use there ^^ but if the screenshot I sent you is what you were looking for, lemme know ^^

_@telh , yes that bit is what I'd be looking for something like, for 02.. Do you know how to do something like that surround?

Quintur First I made a PNG with about 50% opacity of the color of my choice (doesn't matter the size, if you need one/cant find any, feel free to shoot me a PM with the hex code you want it of and I can do it ^^). Then I looked through my stylesheets for the #wrapper and then I added more to it like this:

#wrapper {
background-image: url(https://i.imgur.com/vaWNyQ3.png);
width: 90%;
margin: 10px auto;
padding:20px;
}


Hopefully, it works for you. I'm not sure where that #wrapper will be, and if you can't find it/it's not there, I'd recommend adding it in somewhere ^^

telh perfect, thank you. I can make one t the colour that will suit my site. I appreciate the assistance.

I'll be sure to look at Affiliating with your site in the future, as I, too, am making a multi-animal RPG.

Assuming you're still looking for the bit about a border around the Title Bar...

Admin Panel -> Advanced Styles & CSS, under the Visual Editor expand the Body (Content) -> Containers -> Title Bars, and then just set the border style. As long as your custom theme styling doesn't overwrite the base styling of title bars this should work.


If you find you edit it in the Visual Editor and nothing changes then that means your custom theme is overwriting it. Which means you'll have to either find the appropriate line and change it, or overwrite it using this line at the very bottom of your Style Sheet:
.container > .title-bar { border:1px solid #080E18; }

You can change the parameters to whatever you like.

Nori, yes perfect, that's exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much.
