User Colours Per Theme

[Drae]

I'm guessing this can be done per the CSS for each theme/skin, but want to ask first because my members love their colourings XD I know we can add coding to the member group looks, but can we do it per theme/skin?

There are several styles available with user changeable colours, backgrounds, etc... so yes, it can be done.

The xenstyles framework, as an example, encompasses a user colour block. http://xenstyles.com

Audentio have taken some skins a step further, like Class which has user changeable backgrounds and colours. http://www.audentio.com/shop/view/XenForo/class-12

There isn't much that can't be done.

It's pretty simple.

First specify a markup for the group:

Admin CP -> Users -> List User Groups -> [click a group] -> User Name CSS

Even though you are specifying colors per style, you still must specify a "default" color in the group itself to "turn on" the markup. For example:

color: red;

Now you can override this color by adding CSS to your styles:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> EXTRA.css

Add this code to override the color (or any other CSS attribute) for a specific group:

.username .style3
{
	color: green;
}

3 is the user_group_id.
