How do.

Firstly. Thanks for the great forums. It's very nice not worrying about bridges and other nasty installs FireBoard is so simple and effective!

Now my problem.

My default Font color on Joomla seems to being uses also in FireBoard. Sadly it's just about the same color as the background of the FireBoard and it's very hard to read. I've tried playing with the CSS but I can't seem to find what color code I need to change. It would be nice if I could change the grey text to black. My forums can be found here: badsin.org/binfo/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=53

Nothing there yet but some fake menus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Patrick

Hi,
I am having the same problem as you. I have done by trial and error changed the color codes in the CSS Editor but have not found the correct location to change. It would be nice if there was some way to identify which point in the CSS sheets is the correct place in the FireBoard data.

I tried using Dreamweaver to edit the CSS but there is no additional information available beyond what you get with the CSS Editor.

Cheerz,

Web Developer Tools or/and FireBug.

I am having the same problem. I have tried to tweak virtually everything in the forum.css file, but can find no place that changes the default text at all. I don't know what firebug is, and couldn't find it in the download section... Thx.

Got it!
I have been struggling with this. Fireboard will carry over the default text color in your template's .css file. If the default color is white, or very light, it doesn't really work.

However, you can override it in the forum.css file in the fireboard template directory - i.e. /components/com_fireboard/template/default/

I added the the line "#fireboard {color: #000000;}" in the code below which changes the default text color to black...(or whatever you want).

Ty Ty Ty!

Worked like a charm!
