Hey, anyone using any good CSS script to throw in that little box to make the forums look cooler? I don't have a clue when it comes to CSS. I'm really not even sure what it's capable of, but I know it can the plain into the pretty. |

Ehh..don't know what you mean by "that little box", unless you're talking about the signature box or something. ..*ignorant feeling, haha* But you're right; CSS can make a lot of aspects of a webpage look many times better. If we were thinking text-wise, we could just put in some simple style script, like the following: [style type="text/css"] BODY, TABLE, TD, TR{ font-size: 9px; font-family:arial; color:#999999; text-align: justify; cursor: default; background-color:transparent; line-height: 15px;} } [/style] That would basically give you a default structure in which you could attach to any webpage by typing the following: [link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"] /*if you were to use this, you'd just have to make a new css file without the style tags*/ or by just hard-coding the thing in the beginning, inside your head tags. Of course, there's a lot more to CSS than just that; you could modify different parts of your webpage by making your own styles and attaching them to different paragraphs, for example. All you need to do is take the code I put up above, copy&paste below it, and replace the Body,Table, etc etc with .insertnamehere. After you do that, you can attach a paragraph with a p class: [p class=insertnamehere>paragraph here![/p] *replace with < > so if you want to change a certain thing and keep the rest of the page with the default values, that would work. (this is usually used with titles) ..and this site even has a stylesheet, so yeah. Good example. :)  |

Well, I was talking about the 'stylesheet data' box under your signature box in your 'edit profile' options. I figured someone probably is viewing these forums in more than just black and grey. |

Okay, figured it out. (Yeah, sorry about that. I totally zoned out and didn't see the stylesheet data box under the sig box. Go me.) Also, I put brackets around the tags so you can actually see the code I put in. My bad. = =; But anyways, you don't even have to put in the [style type="text/css"] in the box. For example, you can just paste in what I typed before: BODY, TABLE, TD, TR{ font-size: 9px; font-family:arial; color:#999999; text-align: justify; cursor: default; background-color:transparent; line-height: 15px;} } /*and because I thought it was really too blinding..here's some help if you want to change links and stuff like that*/ A:link{ color:#666666; text-decoration: none;} A:visited{ color:#666666; text-decoration: none;} A:hover{ color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none;} and you'll see that you get a somewhat blinding forum, but you can always mod the code to your likings. :) Hope that helps. |
