Custom Theme on 5.1.2

Hey there,

I am trying to create a custom theme that will match my site. I am using the 5.1.2 RC and used the MinimalExtropy theme as my base. I have worked my way through the Month and Week views to make everything look like I want it to, but in the list view I cannot seem to find the css object that will change the color of the Header text in the list view. I thought it would be .ListHeader, but that doesn't seem to ahve any affect. Can you tell me what part I need to change to get this text color to change

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: Custom Theme on 5.1.2

Hi Andrew.

One way to identify the right class is to use the IE developer tools in IE, or Firebug in Firefox (or Chrome I think). In IE 8, just press F12, and it will bring up a window which then allows you to click on the element you want to identify and look at (and change) the attributes of it. It will take a little playing to work your way around it.

The headings of the list view are clickable, so they will be 'a' tags. So I expect you will need to add an extra line in you css, something along the lines of:-

.ThemeXXXXX .ListHeader a {color:#ffffff;}

If that doesn't work add '!important' before the semi-colon, since there may be a setting in another css file forcing itself on you. !Important puts this as the top priority for the style. I'm sure someone will say that isn't how to do it, but I'm not a css/xhtml specialist :-)

Cheers
Roger

Re: Custom Theme on 5.1.2

Thanks for the tip Roger. I am no css/xhtml specialist either, but you gave me enough to figure it out.

I added the following lines into my skin file and it did exactly what I wanted it to.

.ThemeOrderOfIsisEventsSkin .ListHeader a,.ThemeOrderOfIsisEventsSkin .ListHeader a:visited,.ThemeOrderOfIsisEventsSkin .ListHeader a:hover {
font-size:12px;
font-weight:700;
color:#FFF;
}
