Message Timestamp Color

[ZippySLC]

Hey --

How can I go about changing the color of the timestamp in posts? I know it uses @mutedTextColor, but changing that will change a bunch of other text that I don't want to change. I can't figure out which property group controls that text.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to change just that, then add this to extra.css:

abbr.DateTime{
    color: #XXXXXX;
}

Replace XXXXXX with the code, or rgb() or whatever. This should change only the timestamp.

Thanks for the quick reply! I did that and it's changing *some* of the timestamps. Looking at the CSS it looks like some elements aren't being called with the abbr.DateTime property.

The older ones are using span instead of abbr.

Try removing the abbr.DateTime and using just .DateTime - see if that works without changing anything else.

That didn't do it. Nothing shows up with a custom style.

Why would the software give abbr.DateTime tags to some things and use a plain undecorated span for others?

If that didn't work, just use:

abbr.DateTime, span.DateTime{
color: #XXXXXX;
}

If that doesn't work I have no idea.

That did it. Thanks!!
