yup you are correct on that one. Is there a way to change the text color for just the block itself?

Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 7:23 pm

yes...
look in the code....
it has enough css build in to alter it completely... Wink

could you possible explain what i need to edit for the text color. This would be appreciated.

Or, you could play with the $tickerBGColor setting at the top of the block file to change the background. I am guessing that is why Raven put that in there. Change it to whatever color you want it to be rather than $bgcolor2.

O.k.....i changed $bgcolor2 to 2B65EC which is a blue color and the block now looks like this!

As you can see it made the the bar blue, but kept the button the same. Can I edit something else, or did i do this wrong?
Thanks for the help!

sureshot, where did you place this? With the install of this block, there were the following CSS statements that were needing to be placed inside either a custom_head.php script (in includes/custom_files) or in possibly javascript.php. I am thinking if you messed with some of the color schemes for #listbutton, as Hitwalker is suggesting, that you should be able to find a good combination.
