Title: CHANGE COLOR OF /ME
Post by: miha1111 on October 05, 2011, 06:59:50 pm
I dont know for your eyes, but red is kinda painfull and hard to read on blue background, so maybe changing
Code: [Select]
/me to green, yellow or such?

I dont know how its for you but I have problems with seeing some colors (a.k.a daltonism) so it may look fine for you.

One thing isn't going to be changed for you, or only a few others that have this problem...

I never said it will be changed for me, smart one.
I said that it looks "painfull" to me and I dont know for others, so If it looks "painfull" to other I guess most of those would agree to change it.....

Maybe because peoples wont use them all the time, or they dont even know that (/)me can modified with BB codes?

I forgot on this dead topic.

He's talking about the forum version of /me

example:
/me saw big brown fox jump over the lazy dog.

I believe the /me function is actually built into SMF.

Red looks better than that aqua blue in my opinion.

However, yellow looks even better  :D

Is should be possible to change the CSS though...
Title: Re: CHANGE COLOR OF /ME
Post by: SugarD on March 08, 2012, 09:44:53 pm
Just confirmed it. The /me function is indeed built into SMF as BBCode. I don't believe there is a way to change this without modifying the core files that handle it themselves.
Title: Re: CHANGE COLOR OF /ME
Post by: miha1111 on March 08, 2012, 09:47:28 pm
Function is built in SMF but its not that big problem to change colour of it. If I remember good there was part of code in style.css and all you need to do is switch to other RGB/HEX Color code.

I'm not sure if it will have it listed there or not. I know some other BB Codes are hardcoded into the forum software itself, or at least were with SMF 1. SMF 2 may have changed this for the custom ones since then. Even if that would be the case, you would still need to know what the correct name is in the .css file to change it.

P.S. Apologies, for some reason I missed your post.

Yes it is possible to change the color of /me through the CSS..

index.css

Code: [Select]
/* /me uses this a lot. (emote, try typing /me in a post.) */
.meaction
{
   color: red;
}

I changed the above to "blue" the result is this:

Index.css isn't the same as stylesheet.css, but it seems they have changed things a bit since SMF 1. Nice job finding that man! :)

For Argo Forums, I'd go for teal just because it seems to match the current theme better, and it's still readable, yet not eye-blindingly bright. :)

As a side note for you Dan, theoretically since it's CSS/HTML controlled, any web-compliant color could be used. It doesn't just have to be a pre-defined or named one, so that list could go on forever! ;)

There is no stylesheet.css for SMF 2.0.  :trust:

There is for SMF 2 themes themselves. As said previously, it's in the theme's folders, which is not related to BB Code in any way at all. :P

No, there isn't.

The default theme, no, but some themes do have them. It's up to the theme creator to name the file. ARFD's theme alone has almost a dozen CSS files itself because it has 6-7 color options. Filenames like "index.css", "default.css", and "stylesheet.css" are the most common ones out there, and they all essentially mean the same thing.
Title: Re: CHANGE COLOR OF /ME
Post by: Reece on March 09, 2012, 06:32:28 pm
There is no "stylesheet.css" all the files which are in the theme make up the themes stylesheet. If there is a stylesheet.css it's a index.css with a different name, which would just be pointless and confusing.

well yeah.. but at least this way, people who dont know how to use the /me command could just use /color

True. The irony here is you could actually roleplay /me better than you could with it's coded counterpart! xD
