XF 2.3 Way to assign css or colors to particular category?

[infinitys]

Looking to see if a way to color code a category only so users know when it's private to a group or public.

Would need more details since you can apply styling to a single node at a time.

Do you want to just highlight that category background? Change title colors of each forum node in the category?

Thanks I would think better if could change title colors.

In template extra.less

e.g. to change title of category id4

 .block--category4 h2 a

{color:green}

(to get the id number of a category look in ACP > Forums > Nodes open the category settings and look in the browser address bar)

NB: note that for more extensive category (or node) cold changes, create a child theme with those colours and choose that theme in the specific node settings:

Worked good. Is there a way to do this by post as well? The format we came from had a bar to the side at top that users know by color if group was public or private. One user was having problems trying to figure out what he was posting where.

Can you provide a screenshot or explain more fully? Using a different theme for private forums as mentioned above is the way I do it.

Thanks I tried what you said on the theme and got it to work
