Struggling with colours

Post by guysnape »

My site is at http://www.breadsecrets.com/forum - I'm trying to make the colours and design match the main site at http://www.breadsecrets.com and so far I've only managed to remove the rounded corners from the main header bar and turn it brown - both via horrible hacks (renaming the corner images and putting an inline style in overall_header.html). Editing colours.css and using the theme editor in the ACP only seem to work sporadically (yes, I am purging the cache on the ACP and doing ctrl f5 in the browser). Which sections of which files should I be editing to get all the blue bits to be the various shades of brown that I want them?

Another problem -this is with this forum rather than the BB software: in firefox, when I log in I get the "successfully logged in" message, then it returns me to the board index but logs me out at the same time, so I can't post. I've removed my saved passwords from firefox and tried the "log me in automatically each visit box" both checked and unchecked. Any suggestions (including which forum I should post this in if there's somewhere appropriate?)

Thanks in advance,

- guy

Have a look at:

styles/breadsecrets_style/theme/images/bg_list.gif
styles/breadsecrets_style/theme/images/gradient.gif
.navbar in colours.css (#cadceb) for the blue navigation bars.
li.row:hover in colours.css (#F6F4D0) for the yellow hover in forumlist.

Many thanks. However ... looking at http://www.breadsecrets.com/forum/style ... olours.css I see

.navbar {
background-color: #b0986a;
}

.forabg {
background-color: #b0986a;

which is what I want, but they're still blue even after purging the cache and ctrl-f5, trying in a different browser, etc. Is that not how it looks at your end?

The yellow hover bg is OK, thanks.

Sorted, thanks - what I needed was the refresh link on the themes tab rather than the purge cache button on the general tab.

Thanks again for your help.

This same thing started happening to me in the last day or so. I ended up switching to IE, and it worked fine. I am not sure why Firefox wouldn't let me log in here, but with IE Tab, I was able to log in.
