changing colour of 'newpost' & 'newreply' background?

Hi folks,

I'm trying to customize the default skin after upgrading to 3.7.0.

Does anyone know where the colour of the background is located when creating a new post?

See pic.

I've been looking at the 'newthread' and 'newreply' templates. Particularly this section of code...

Code:

        <!-- message area -->
        <div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[message]:</div>
        $messagearea
        <!-- / message area -->

Thanks
Glen

Re: changing colour of 'newpost' & 'newreply' background?

It's controlled by the .vBulletin_editor class. The easiest place to edit this is in the editor_css template

Re: changing colour of 'newpost' & 'newreply' background?

Thanks for the hint Curio but I still have no idea where to start, sorry.

This is my template...

Code:

<!-- Editor Styles -->
<style type="text/css" id="vbulletin_editor_css_dynamic">
<!--
@import url("clientscript/vbulletin_editor.css?v=");

.vBulletin_editor {
	background: ;
	padding: px;
}
.imagebutton {
	background: ;
	color: ;
	padding: ;
	border: ;
}
.ocolor, .ofont, .osize, .osmilie, .osyscoloar, .smilietitle {
	background: ;
	color: ;
	border: ;
}
.popup_pickbutton {
	border: ;
}
.popup_feedback {
	background: ;
	color: ;
	border-: ;
}
.popupwindow {
	background: ;
}
#fontOut, #sizeOut, .popup_feedback div {
	background: ;
	color: ;
}
.alt_pickbutton {
	border-: 1px solid ;
}
.popup_feedback input, .popup_feedback div
{
	border: 0px solid;
	padding: 0px 2px 0px 2px;
	cursor: default;
	font: 11px tahoma;
	overflow: hidden;
}
-->
</style>
<!-- / Editor Styles -->

Edit the main css for your style. Look for Panel surround and Panel forms. I believe those are the ones you are looking for. You'll need to change the image and #xxxxxx color on the background line.

.vBulletin_editor {
background: ;
padding: px;
}

The variables get cut out when posting, but the line you want to edit this the background one.

A tutorial on CSS background can be found here if you need it.

Re: changing colour of 'newpost' & 'newreply' background?

Many thanks Curio!

That worked a treat!

Edited '.vBulletin_editor' for the main screen colour and '.imagebutton' for the background of the toolbar buttons.

Happy days! Now I can move to 3.7.0.

Rep added!

Re: changing colour of 'newpost' & 'newreply' background?

I've hit another problem here guys

The icons in the editor toolbar, I've managed to make that background match the test of the box background but editing the editer_css template too. But, usually when you hover your cursor over an icon, i.e. bold, italic, underline, hyperlink, etc. you will get a border and the background colour will change. In the case here at vBSetup, the background colour is the same as the main colour so you only really see a border around the icon when you hover over it. Anyway, when I move my cursor away from hovering over it, the border goes away but the background colour stays. I'm assuming I need to adjust that as well to be the fixed colour of the main background but I'm can't figure out which variable to change.

I hope you folks can understand that lol.

Thanks.

You really only need to edit that template for the editor background itself. All the buttons in their various states can be controlled by the Toolbar Menu Options under Style Options
