Stylesheet Help

[BobHarbison]

I'm using the Metal.css styelsheet, which I've modified a bit.

I need to find where I change two colors.

The first is the color of text in a pull down menu. When I got to move a photo, the pull down menu has white text on a white background, which is rather hard (impossible) to read. The only way you can see it is when you highlight the text.

I know I simply need to change color, but what item am I looking for?

The same thing happens when I edit something in the text editor. Grey on grey cursor. Where can I change that?

do you have an example on your site where you are referring to?

I dont see any obvious errors in the default metal.css file we have. The style default text colors are defined in the body tag and the select box class also

You'd have to be logged in as an admin to see it.

You're right though, they're certainly not obvious. I did check, and I am seeing it using the default metal.css template.

Here's where to find the problems:

1) Log in as an admin, then select a photo and choose "move photo". Try to use the pull down category menu. Notice how it appears blank. It's actually white on white.

2) Again, as an admin, try to edit the header file (or a template or similiar file that opens an edit box). Click in the box and the cursor is invisible.

I've just noticed that I'm still having the cursor problem.

If you apply the metal.css stylesheet, and then go into the control panel and click on something with an edit box, say edit the header for example, there's no way to see where the cursor is located at when you're in the box.

In a regular editing box, like the quick reply box I'm using here, there's a vertical bar, kind of like this | that shows where the cursor is. That's what's missing, which makes it really tough to edit stuff...

dont know what to tell you about that. I can tell you if you have problems with white background and white text but cursors dont know where they are set.

Found it!

To change the color of the boxes in the form, use the appropriately titled variable "Formboxes" in the CSS sheet.

I simply deleted the values that were specified, and the default colors work for me. No more invisible cursor (which sometimes led to audible cursing...)
