Comment box color changes.

[Josh]

Hello Mina,

First off I would like to thank you for the awesome theme. I dig it. Also, the forums are very helpful and I was able to figure most of it by reading them. So thanks to you and the rest of your Minefield users.

Ok, I'm just about done with tweaking the theme to my personal liking. The only subject that eludes me is the comment box. Like when a viewer wants to leave/submit a comment. I was wondering how you could change the text color and perhaps the border surrounding the fill out form itself. The background I figured out, it's just mainly the text that I can not find. Much appreciated.

Also, I somehow added frames around the images in the sponsor images area (or Other Stuff area). Which I like, but now I forgot where I added the code, lol. I need to decrease the size of the frame.

Thanks,
Josh

Figured this one out; under the footer section in the style.css:

#sponsors a img { border: #25383c 1px solid; margin: 0 0 2px 5px; padding: 2px 5px; }

Had to just play with the px in the margin section.

You're welcome! Glad you like it and that the forums helped you! And thanks for posting when you found an answer yourself...it may help others.

Okay, changing the font color is easy. Go into the stylesheet and find this line:

  Code:

#author, #email, #url, #comment, #submit { background: #efebd6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Times; font-size: 8px; margin: 5px 5px 0 0; padding: 0; }

and add this to that line: color: #XXXXXX; replacing the XX's with the hex code for the color you want.

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for with this second question. If you're referring to the exact box where comments are typed in, that doesn't currently have a border. If want to add one then go back into the line I referenced above and add this: border: #XXXXXX 1px solid; again replacing the XX's with the hex code for the color you want. The 1px size can also be changed.

Ok, thanks for the info about the comment box/form. I am going to try that out tonight.

The second question is referring to the actual white trim that surrounds the comment box, it seems it is insetted. Not a border, sorry.
