color color in forums block?

what about a setting for the default colors it seems my theme has reversed the dark/light to light/dark and is kind of hard to see. would be nice to be able to adjust those settings since not all themes are set the same.

just my 2 cents

Not sure Raven saw this, so I am <bumping> this up the list.

I have the same probem with my site since I changed to a black background.

Everything else looks fine but the show/hide block has white writing and a white background.

Have you tried to modify the variable $tickerBGColor in the block file? You could change it from $bgcolor2 to a valid hex color value.

Excellent, I thought that might be possible but I'm just starting to wrap my head around coding & php so I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the help, I'll try it out when I get a chance.

I'm having the same problem. Sad

I tried changing the $bgcolor2 to a hex value, didn't work, and then tried changing the rest of the applicable $bgcolor1's and 2's to a hex value and didn't work either.

Oddly enough, the problem is only affected two of the background areas. The boxes for 'Author' and the boxes' for "last Replies". That;s it. Here is the code I have:

Code:

tickercontents[$cnt] = "<tr><td width=\"60%\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row1\"><a href=\"forums.html&file=viewforum&f=$forum_id\" title=\"$forum_name\">[$cat_title: $forum_name]<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"forums.html&file=viewtopic&t=$topic_id\" title=\"$topic_title\"> $lockTopic$topic_title<\/span><\/a><\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row2\" width=\"5%\">$topic_replies<\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row3\" width=\"20%\"><a href=\"profile-.html$sifra\">$_avtor<\/a><\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row2\" width=\"5%\">$topic_views<\/td><td align=\"center\" nowrap bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row3\">  $post_time <\/i><\/font><nowrap bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\"> <a href=\"profile-.html$user_id\">$_username<\/a> <a href=\"forums.html&file=viewtopic&p=$topic_last_post_id#$topic_last_post_id\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_minipost_new.gif\" alt=\"Last Post\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td><\/tr>";
_JS_;
}
else {
$content .= <<<_JS_
tickercontents[$cnt] = "<tr><td width=\"60%\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row1\"><a href=\"forums.html&file=viewtopic&p=$topic_last_post_id#$topic_last_post_id\" title=\"$topic_title\">[$cat_title: $forum_name]<\/span>  $lockTopic$topic_title<\/a><\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row2\" width=\"5%\">$topic_replies<\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row3\" width=\"20%\">$_avtor<\/td><td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row2\" width=\"5%\">$topic_views<\/td><td align=\"center\" nowrap bgcolor=\"DBCF9C\" class=\"row3\">  $post_time <\/i><\/font> $_username<\/td><\/tr>";
_JS_;
}

I'm trying to get all the boxes to show as hex value DBCF9C, but the two boxes mentioned above show some wacky dark grey value that is nowhere in my theme or in SubSilver. How do I get it to show correctly?

Nevermind! Found it! It was calling a color from in the theme style.css under 'Category Gradients' called .row3. I changed that and all is well again.
