XF 2.2 Change color of default avatar?

[SavageInMe]

Does anyone know how to change the color of the default avatar (the purple S)?



Thanks for your time

Maybe I should just replace the default avatar instead of a color change.
I think that's what I'll do, thanks again.

So I added a default avatar image. I went here....



and then did this..



and the default avatar still didn't change.. so I had to go here and remove the checkmark from Enable dynamic default avatars as you see below.





I found the answer to this issue from this older post: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/settings-default-avatar-image.136588/#post-1386981

I posted here only so that the next person looking for an answer to changing default avatar can see this

Dynamic avatars take precedence if enabled and even if you have a default avatar defined I have found.
Also, the color background for the dynamic are done on an apparent random basis and cannot be easily chanaged.

hmm well the above steps work well for me, my default avatar is working great.

And you simply did what I said.. you added a default avatar and disabled the dynamic ones.. which you cannot control the background color of unless you have an add-on that specifically deals with dynamic avatars.
There is a difference between default avatars and dynamic avatars.

I understood you saying that the dynamic avatars take precedence EVEN if I have a default avatar defined - to me I understood that as saying that regardless if I have defined an avatar, the dynamic avatars are still generated and show on the forum.

That is correct... if you have enabled dynamic avatars, they take precedence (at least on my site running 2.2.10) over the default avatar setting.
