Text color problem

[SloppyGoat]

How can I change my table heading text color on the main page without changing all small font colors? See my predicament here....



I want the font black like the rest of the forums...like this...



Is there a template I can modify to change only the font there and the currently online/PM text? Why it doesn't follow suit with the other cat fonts, I can't even begin to guess. That should be a global setting, IMO.

The 'Table Heading Text Color' is a separate setting. Just set it to whatever you want.

[SloppyGoat]

That only seems to change the text within the forums, not on the main page. It's set to black now. The main page is set by the small font color, or that's the only way I can get it to change. But then it changes all small text color....which screws me on everything else.

[Steve Machol]

I don't understand. That setting changes the text color of ALL of the table headings - regasrdless of whether they are on the forum home page or forum display page. That's certainly how it works on my forums. Where are you changing this setting?

[SloppyGoat]

In vB CP options/modify styles. See....black.

Now, if I change the small font color, then it changes...like I said above.

Try this, go to the Color Scheme Machine and choose the default. Then change the small font color. You'll see what I mean. Likewise, if you change the small font color, you'll see the home page table heading color change. Is it a bug?

[Steve Machol]

It should be black then, unless you edited the forumhome template or are looking at the wrong style:

"<smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont>

The answer is no, this isn't a bug.

[SloppyGoat]

Nope, I haven't edited anything to do with that. Here's what I got though. I assume I can just change something here to make it follow the table heading color instead of small font?

bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont>&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="20%"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>

That doesn't make any sense. The only thing I can think of tis that your are looking at the wrong template set. If you're sure it's correct, fill out a support ticket at:

Oh, I forgot to answer your last question. To change the color all you need to do is edit the color attribute to whatever you want.

[SloppyGoat]

As you can see, the Color Scheme Machine works the same.

Is this the line I'd need to change?

<smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>

[Steve Machol]

Not sure about the Color Scheme Machine. I haven't checked this

Yes, just change "{tableheadtextcolor}" to "#000000" or whatever you want. Basic HTML.

[SloppyGoat]

Ok, thanks. That wasn't supposed to say "#EEEEFF", though. For some reason, when I edited, it changed from "{tableheadtextcolor}".
I'll give it a shot.

[Steve Machol]

Yeah, this forum is parsing the vB variables. I needed to put a fix in so it would at least display right.

[SloppyGoat]

Nope, that didn't do it. It's the one in the "forum" line, right? Or should be?
