Hi y'all,

I cruised over to the Community Center and found a bit of CSS code that will give you a black background and off-white text in your gallery pages. I did have a problem in that, after pasting this, the text in the hover thingie that pops up when you hover your cursor over a thumbnail was a very light blue and was illegible. I'm real proud of myself (lol) that I was actually ablle to decipher some of this code and found where to change the text in that box and so made it black because it was easiest - if white is "FFFFFF", then black HAD to be "000000". One of the few positive things I've had happen here today......I think/hope the familiar black backdrop will go a long way toward assimilating the changes here.

BTW - make VERY, VERY sure that you are in your personal gallery page when you click "My Options" to go and paste the following text into the big box. I made the mistake of doing it while on the Forum page and it hosed it up to where all the text was off-white! Luckily, I was able to just delete all the text in the box and it reverted back to the default. I guess there's a major difference between whether you are in a gallery or a forum. Hope this does the trick for you guys!

c-ya!

Here's the code:

BODY {background-color:#000000; color: #e3edf5; }
.content_cell { background-color:#000000; }

table.outside_table { width: auto; !important;}

a {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12px; color:

#FFFFFF;}
a:link {color: #e3edf5;}
a:hover {color: #000000;}
a:visited {color: #e3edf5;}
select {z-index: -1;}

/* Sets the appearance of entry boxes */
textarea {background-color:#495F73; color: #e3edf5;}

.gallery_display_table { border:1px solid #404040; border-bottom-width:0px; }

.gallery_display_avatar_cell { border-bottom:1px solid #404040; background-color:#000000; padding:2px; }
.gallery_display_title_cell { border-bottom:1px solid #404040; height:50px; background-color:#000000;

padding:2px; vertical-align:top; }
.gallery_image_title_div { font-family:Verdana; font-size:18px; }

a.gallery_image_action_bar, a.gallery_image_action_bar:active, a.gallery_image_action_bar:visited {

font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; border:1px solid #404040; padding:3px; padding-bottom:4px;

white-space:nowrap; }
a.gallery_image_action_bar:hover { font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; border:1px solid #404040;

background-color:#FFFFFF; white-space:nowrap; }
a.gallery_image_action_bar img { height:15px; margin: 0 0 -4px 0; }

.gallery_display_notes_cell { background-color:#000000; padding:4px; border-bottom:1px solid #404040; }

font-family:Verdana; font-size:18px; border-bottom:1px solid #404040; height:50px; }
.gallery_comment_avatar_cell { background-color:#000000; border-bottom:1px solid #404040; padding:2px; }
.gallery_comment_body { background-color:#000000; border-bottom:1px solid #404040; padding:4px; }
.gallery_comment_title_div { font-size:11px; }
a.gallery_comment_title_div, a.gallery_comment_title_div:hover, a.gallery_comment_title_div:active,

a.gallery_comment_title_div:visited { font-size:11px; }
.gallery_comment_divider_cell { background-color:#495F73; border-bottom:1px solid #404040; height:10px; }

Oh, yeah - If anybody knows the hexadecimal numbers for colors like lime green, yellow, light orange and/or light blue please post them - having the text like I had it b4 will go even further toward making this site seem like "home" again. If I run across them or figure them out, I'll post them to this thread.

c-ya!

way to go Rick, thanks

i was changing the layout already yesterday, but something came in between [very bad back, i can't sit very long on a chair] before i could finish, and now you have posted a similar layout code

thanks m8

wink

Here's my take on a style sheet... deep purple background, different colors for hover and visited links... lilac accents

PS  this is the GALLERY version of my forum CSS, lol.

Help! 
Rykk said "I made the mistake of doing it while on the Forum page and it hosed it up to where all the text was off-white!"

I did the same thing and can't seem to get it to revert.
In fact I can't get to the fractal forum unless I go to 'communities'.

I'm confused.

In the forum page, click on 'My Options' .  In the entry block you can just select and delete any entries you made.  That will take you back to the default.

I'm not sure this will solve the access problems.  Try coming in by just typing www.renderosity.com into your address line on your browser.  If that works, replace any bookmarks you have with that site address.

The programmers are still converting the things that people seldom look at, like the homepages, the directional pages, etc.  and sometimes they have to take parts of the site down for a few minutes to do that.

I hope it will all stabilize soon!

Viv,
I don't know what I did wrong previously, but now it worked.
Everything is back to normal. Thanks.
Marion

Thanks Rick for the black page, its nice to have some things the same. Although, I think I am already getting used to the new style.

Love and care to you all,

Treena

Rick, you are great! Iwon't change a line from it :-)

I forgot to thank you, Rykk. Now I am happy with my black background.
