Topic: Text and background color

Is it just me, or are the text and background the same color on several pages? So far I've seen it on the registration page, login page, and create new topic page. It's really annoying.

Re: Text and background color

Yep. Want the CSS? I can't figure it out, the problematic code eludes me.

Re: Text and background color

A little peeking around with firebug and in your source code leads me to believe the text is inheriting it's color from line 194 in
http://downinfront.net/forum/style/Oxygen/Oxygen_cs.css
where it says:
.brd label, .brd .aslabel, .brd .mf-set legend, .brd .ct-legend * {
    color: #357;
    }
Change that to pretty much any other color and it should fix it.

Re: Text and background color

No problem. Any other annoying CSS issues you'd like fixed?

Re: Text and background color

I've decided I don't like your CSS, so now I'm using a script to run my own modified version, so there. tongue

Re: Text and background color

I didn't change a lot, just some stuff to make it easier (for me) to use, and a few aesthetics that annoyed me.

Re: Text and background color

Wow. If the wider forum doesn't screw it up when you view it with the left DIF bar (bottom picture), I'm happy to adopt that style.

Re: Text and background color

I haven't tested it with other browsers or computers, but as far as I know, it'll work. I don't claim to be an expert though, I really only know enough about CSS to meddle. Want me to email you the CSS files?
