Change text colour in admin

[WengChun]

Hi,

where do i change the txt colour in the admin area. In the text box, the font colour is white which is impossible for me to read with the yellow background. I can't find any .css file to change it

/admin_tpl/header.html

.textbg {background-color: #21384A;}

/admin_tpl/header.html

.textbg {background-color: #21384A;}

Bruceper...

Is that the background color just for the 'e-mail' text input box??? I'd like to either change the color of the text from white to be black, or change the background of the input box from yellow to black

[Bruceper]

I only checked one file, but that's the background colour of the text box, I would assume that's the background colour for all text boxes in the admin area. If the text is white (#FFFFFF) then use black (#000000) for the background colour.

I'd be more than happy to check, but my server is down right now getting hardware upgrades lol.

I think the e-mail background color is different than that of the others... It must be in a different area... All text input boxes are dark blue other than the e-mail text box. Thats yellow, but with the white text, you cant read anything.

Somehow the e-mail yellow input text box needs to be changed to dark blue as well... Maybe when your hardware upgrades are done you can take a look and see

Which page are you looking at? I can look at the code at least and let you know what I can see.

I know it's in the admin section, is it the add a new link page?

link_add_form.html all use textbg as their background colours, so I need to know exactly which page you're talking about.

[FSGDAG]

Its in Add Links, and Search / Edit / Delete Links ( both when searching for a link and Editing a Link ).

[Bruceper]

All of those appear to use textbg, which is located in admin_tpl/header.html

<td><input type="text" size="40" name="email" value="<%$email%>" class="textbg"></td>

that is from link_edit_form.html

<td>Email</td>
        <td><input type="text" size="40" name="email" class="textbg"></td>

and that's from link_search_form.html.

Other than textbg which was already mentioned, these may also be part of the issue, found in admin_tpl/header.html and shown exactly as the lines appear

INPUT            {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 10px}
TEXTAREA         {background-color: #21384A;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 10px}
.textbg          {background-color: #21384A;}

you have google toolbar installed...

the yellow is to show you what is to be autofilled its nothing to do with indexU - either disable it or do as previously stated and choose a colour thats more suited to a yellow background! i guess google expect text boxes to have black writing in?

[Bruceper]

Now that's something I didn't expect, since I use Opera I don't have the Google toolbar. Nice catch inspireme, I'll keep this one for reference.

It happened to me as well, its unusual to have dark backgrounds on input fields so it causes a problem on indexU when the toolbar switched the colour to say it can auto fill your email.

By the way, dont use autofill - its terrible security (esp. on a laptop), i recently had mine stollen and was glad i never get programs to save my password.

So this problem occur when googlebar is installed, right? I use opera and have no googlebar, so i don't see this problem.

[FSGDAG]

you have google toolbar installed...

I would have NEVER guessed that!!! HAHAHAHA Good catch Inspireme!

[inspireme]

The google toolbar has an option to setup autofill, if you do that then all text fields with address/email/phone etc get a yellow background so you know it can autofill these fields. SO yes, nothing really to do with indexU, just that indexU uses a white text in the field which doesn't work with yellow

So the best way is to change the admin text to black? but then you'd have to change the bg colour to a lighter colour
