How do I change text color on the overlay / member card?

Hi!

Quick question: How do I change text color on the overlay / member card? WITHOUT changing colors in the color palette. I have the colors as I like them now, but the only problem is that in the overlay the text is just a bit too dark.

Can it be done in the style properties?

Thanks!
 
I used EXTRA.css for this.

Code:
/* Change colour of username on member card */
.xenOverlay.memberCard .userInfo h3 {
color: @secondaryLight !important;
}

.xenOverlay.memberCard .userInfo h3 a {
color: @secondaryLight !important;
}

/* Change colour of title on member card */
.xenOverlay.memberCard .userInfo h4 {
color: @primaryLight !important;
}

/* Change colour of upper horizontal divider on member card */
.xenOverlay.memberCard .userLinks {
border-bottom: 1px solid @dimmedTextColor !important;
}

/* Change colour of links title on member card */
.xenOverlay.memberCard .userLinks a {
color: @primaryLight !important;
}

/* Change colour of lower horizontal divider on member card */
.xenOverlay.memberCard .lastActivity {
border-top: 1px solid @dimmedTextColor !important;
}
 
I guess you cant do this in the Style properties cause i have dark text on a dark background
i am using the latest version forum

Another problem is the text at the bottom of the New Post screen is dark on a dark background. where do i go to fix that?

Found another problem. When i pin a thread it turns purple and i haven't set anything to purple
 
Hi Jake. I uploaded another skin last night and that seems to have fixed the problems on the default skin, no idea why.

The problem i have with the default skin now is in the attached pic.dark text.webp

Not sure about style properties for that one but in extra.css you could add:


Code:
        .xenOverlay.memberCard .userInfo .userStats th
        {
            color: #FFFFFF !important;
        }

Also wi11ie if you have FireFox, check out: http://getfirebug.com/ it can help you speed through the skinning process like no other.

#FFFFFF being whichever color or @primaryLight

See my previous two posts. Use that code in the EXTRA.css template to change that dark text color from your picture:

Try this:

Code:
.xenOverlay.memberCard .lastActivity dt
{
	color: @primaryLight !important;
}

.xenOverlay.memberCard .userStats th
{
	color: @primaryLight !important;
}

Code:
.xenOverlay.memberCard .muted
{
	color: @primaryLight !important;
}

Tried that it didn't work but did work in content.. Well there goes my color scheme

It works on the default style. Your custom style might be different.

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Forum List -> Category Strip Title

Add this to the Miscellaneous box:

Code:
text-align: center;

That will center the category titles:
