MyBB Skinning Question

**Jolteon** · 10-14-2007, 01:53 AM

I'm having a slight issue with a skin I'm trying to do for MyBB 1.2.x.

In this image, the first post was posted default, then edited to be white text, the second post (the reply) was posted without editing it to white, how can I get the skin to auto make new post text white, so it fits in with my new skin?

Well if you want all text on the page to be white by default use

Code:

body{color: white}

in your CSS.

Try it, but any new posts still appear in black..

I'm really stuck then, looking at the code of the MyBB help forums, I can't see why that wouldn't work. try replacing `body` with `p`

Tried that too. Old posts still appear in black, new posts still appear in black

In the postbit templates:

<div id="pid_{$post['pid']}">

replace with

<div id="pid_{$post['pid']}" style="color: white;">

It should work

If you want it to be global than you need to go to the theme manager -> Body -> Font Color -> set as #FFFFFF

Got that bit working, thanks for your assistance guys

Next thing, between each post is a gap of whiteness (see first image) which part of the editor does that come under to change its color? (This is my first attempt skinning MyBB, sorry for any noobishness that may appear

)

I don't know, but a tip is to install the Firefox Web Developer Toolbar, if you have that and press Control Shift F, it highlights all the different classes and IDs for different parts of thte page
