Question Help with Font Colour

Can anyone help me change the font colour from grey to black? It is very hard to read. Please see www.theomm.com/forum

Hi
You have a css file...
/templates/js_onyx/css/style-orange.css - its part of your template.

and in it is a line

color: #CCC or #cccccc or similar. change that to something darker, maybe #333333.


Hope this helps.
I'm not much on css really, but I noticed your post because I bought my girlfriend some omm running stuff at Christmas and its great :laugh: !!!

Thanks
Rob

ps I should add - changing that may have implications for the rest of the site...

Rob, brill ! CSS is not my bag ! I have changed the font colour to orange in keeoing with the OMM. Looks quite good. Many thanks for the quick response and help. Much appreciated. Glad you liked the gear for your girlfriend. Regards. Alex

Rob/anyone - when people use internet explorer browser (and they will insist), they are unable to see the drop down menus in the forum, they are completely white. Is this as a result of changing the font to orange (in the Onyx CSS template) in the forum so that it was eaiser to read? I also note I have the same problem in Community Builder when viewed through ie. Firefox and Chrome are fine. Any ideas ?

in www.theomm.com/templates/js_onyx/css/2_formalize.css

try changing

background-color: #CA6129
to
background-color: #CA6129 !important

That seems to fix the background, can't figure out the text though.
Open the page in IE then hit F12 to get the developer tools where you can 'fiddle' with the css.

Fun, eh?!

I'm sure someone else could give you much better advice than me.
Rob

Rob, thanks but I am not sure what you mean by saying
background-color: #CA6129
to
background-color: #CA6129 !important
?

there should be a file called 2_formalize.css that is in /templates/js_onyx/css/ - part of your joomla template

there should be a line in that file that reads
background-color: #CA6129;

just add the word !important after the colour hex code (ca6129). It should read

background-color: #CA6129 !important; when you are done.

Least that's how it looks from here.

Rob

Rob, thanks. Added the !important after the hex and it now shows orange in the drop down list but cannot see any text still. Need to make it black or white wihtout affecting the display through other non ie browsers.

Hello again!
I did try changing the font colour using the ie8 developer tools, but I couldn't find the css that was controlling the colour. I suspect you need to add some css to change the colour to your main template css. You just need to identify the class. If I get a chance I'll have another look later this week, but as I said before I'm not good much on this!
Thanks
Rob

Rob, I resorted to getting this done by a css expert and this is working now. Thanks
