background color for text links on index page

[Denny]

I would like to put a highlight background under the index page links. The background I use is to dark for the text to show up. I am not sure of the right place to edit.

Here is an example of what I want to do to all of the text.

Hey Denny,

Thanks for posting.

So, for this, what you would need to do is locate the links you'd like to do this on, in your CSS file if it's a lot or you could do it inline if it's just a few. But, either way, you need to locate the link styles, usually it'll be "a" or "a:link", etc. In these styles, you'd then have to add this:

So far, after looking around, I opened the language en common php, and located some of them, and added an inline color code. The ones not with the background color, are ones I cannot find yet to change. Like Forum Club Photos. I'm thinking index html. I haven't got that far yet. I've been doing one at a time, uploading and checking it.

Hey Denny,

You should be able to change them in line in the template files, I would think. What are all of the links that you are looking to change, in total?

Thanks,

Patrick

Forum Club Photos

Just on the index page. If they relate to other pages, no problem. My background makes it hard for some to see the text.

---------------------------------------------------

Forum Club Photos= Changed in overall header html
User Control Panel= Leaving because there is an icon there.
new messages= Leaving because there is an icon there.
Logout= Leaving because there is an icon there.
Login= Leaving because there is an icon there.

Plus, I can't find the right spot...

Denny what I would do is simply change the "class" in your overall_header.html from

What about the ones I have already changed with the background color ?

[~HG~]

Just remove the background you have added before changing the "class"

Ok, I'll have to do the edits, then I will try the change. Thanks HG.

Can't make a new reply. So,


Ok, if you refresh, that part looks good. What do I do with these. That was the main concern for some of the guys, they couldn't see it very well.

Agreed. It looks a lot better than adding backgrounds behind each link.
