Fixed Editor text color issues

[Carlos]

Where do I find the properties to sort out this color problem I have:


Both the LightBox and the Quick reply box look the same....soo I am looking to edit the background color and font color to fix this.

 

[Shelley]

I'm sure it's in the editor_contents.css template and look for this code (below)

body,
body.mceForceColors
{
    @property "primaryContent.background";
    background-color: @contentBackground;
    @property "/primaryContent.background";
    
    @property "primaryContent.font";

    @property "/primaryContent.font";
}

 

[Carlos]

Thank you!

Hey, shelley, is it okay if I add a hex color/font style to these calls?

"/primaryContent.font"

Like this: /#123456.tahoma ...?

 

[Shelley]

You should be okay to add in a hexvalue.

 

[Carlos]

Ohkey! Here I go!

Like this: /#123456.tahoma ...?

That won't work though.

You meed to define the color and font on separate lines, like so:

color: #123456;
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;

I understand that I'm supposed to do that for some CSS but this code looks different to me than the other ones, so that's why I was asking.

 

[Paul B]

That's because those elements are linked to Style Properties.

They have 'opening' and 'closing' tags to denote the Style Properties element.

 

[Carlos]

So, with what you've been saying; I should put in the code like this?

/primaryContent: #123.font: Georgia, Tahoma

....?

It seems I got this same issue since our upgrade this morning. For some reason it went all black. On a dark theme.

How would one go about to change only the text in the box, to say to a white?

The editor has been updated to respect some properties. Moving this to bugs as it doesn't look like it's doing it very well.

When I upgraded my test site to b6 the background color of the editor at the bottom of the thread changed....

Interesting for sure. It appears it is grabbing a color that is used in another part of the style/skin. Quick reply at the bottom, inline editor, advanced editor - all the same color that looks like it came from another part of the skin..

 

[Mike]

Yes, rather than hardcoded white.

 

[Dean]

Yes, rather than hardcoded white.

oh....

Thanks for the hint, I now know what to look for.

 

[SeriousJay]

If you can kindly provide a solution to this problem, it would be appreciated. (aka an example)

I have many users unable to properly post and making them happy would make me happy, of course.

Edit the CSS Shelley posted above: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/editor-text-color-issues.10446/#post-141795

Either directly in the editor_contents template or by adding it to EXTRA.css

 

[Edrondol]

I concur. We need direction. Black text on black background = really difficult posting.

 

[Paul B]

Try adding this to EXTRA.css:

body,
body.mceForceColors {
background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
color: #000000 !important;
}

Change the colours to suit.

 

[Edrondol]

I only want to change the color of the text in quick edit and replies to white. That's it.
