changing column colors?

[avjanet]

In my v4 forum here:

avbratpack2.proboards.com/

I was able to alternate the colors between the columns used for folders/boards/topics/posts/last post.  Is there any way I can do that on the v5 betazone version here:

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can't see your forum "Error: You must login to access this forum", to see how you have it exactly. I do understand what you mean though, and there is a very easy way to do it using the template modifications. Which I will gladly tell you how to do, but first, which columns do you need as a different colour?

Do you want Threads and Last post, different to the current?

Under the title bar that reads "general" the columns are set up left to right with a file folder column (just an icon), then a column each for "board", "threads", "posts", and "last post". I have my current v4 forum set up so that every other column is a lighter and darker shade. I'd like to know how I can set up the v5 forum the same way.

Ok so depending what you want to change the colour of, do the following:
Go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Board List

Line 33 and 35 are for Threads, and Last Post. To change their's, add the part in red:

<td class="threads" style="background-color: #000000;">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if}</td>
<td class="posts">{if $[board.posts] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.posts]{/if}</td>
<td class="latest last" style="background-color: #000000;">


Change #000000 to the hex code of your choosing.
If it's other columns you want to change, let me know which ones specifically
Not sure if you want to start at the folder icon or not.

So, I am not sure if you want the Folder icon's background to be dark, board description/name window light, threads dark, posts light, and then last post dark.
Or if you want it reversed: Folders background light, board dark, threads light, posts dark, last post light.

Hi,

You can make the main page work like this by adding this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet for that theme.

.boards table.list .main,
.boards table.list .latest { background-color: @container_background_color_2; }
.boards table.list .item:hover td.main,
.boards table.list .item:hover td.latest { background-color: @container_highlight_color; }

Thanks to both of you!

Sure thing.
