Yeah been playing around with per-site custom css for a while now

For anybody who wants to customise the theme in Firefox:

There's a button at the top of threads that says "View First Unread".

And it seems when doing that the page loads again....? Eish...what a waste.

 

[killadoob]

O dude it has been a long day, give us the easy run down or is that? If so i will give it bash tomorrow haha

 

[Rosaudio]

Yup, the site has just been broken more by trying to 'fix' it

Dunno 'bout FF...

Opera I just created the following css...

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("mybroadband.co.za"){}
.body_wrapper, .after_content {background: RGB(242, 242, 242)none !important ; }
.content, .postbitlegacy postbitim, .postbody, .blockrow, .info_subblock, .blockfoot, .vB_Editor_QR_textarea, .editor_controls floatcontainer, .blocksubfoot, .actionbuttons { background: #F2F2F2 !important; }
#usercp_nav, .blockbody {background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #F2F2F2 !important; }
.bbcode_container, div.bbcode_quote {font: 13px Tahoma,Calibri,Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif !important; }
.editor_textbox textarea {font:14px Tahoma, Calibri,Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif !important; background-color:#FFFFFF !important;}
.menubarnb { background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #738FBF !important; }
.lastphocol, .catcolumn, .inner_add, body, table, .tddetails, .tdbackground{ background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #F2F2F2 !important; }
.tableborders { background: #738FBF !important; }
#content, .popular_right_items {background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #F2F2F2 !important; }
#box_right_holder, .box_title, #box_title_holder, .box_ads, #box_center_holder_home, .inner_add {background: #F2F2F2 !important;}
.box_content { background: #F2F2F2 !important; }

Then, edited site preferences for MyBB forum and pointed it to use the above css.

Done.

Now I can fiddle summore.... as far as the styling goes, I am gonna be sorted... just the functionality links for rpm and gang to sort out!

I think I might get used to the changes, but the "smilies" have lost their impact, particularly the , ,, , and - they all look rather insipid.

Edit: my browser is FF ... but should that make a difference?

Should not, they are all GIF images.

Just checked in Chrome as well, renders the same as IE as well.

For Firefox, save your CSS code in a file called userContent.css in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random characters>.default\chrome folder.

Not working, can someone write a style for myBB please and copy it here

background: #F2F6F8 !important;
}

. postbitlegacy postbitim {

background: #E9E9E9 !important;
}

.content {

background: #F2F6F8 !important;
}


.body_wrapper {
padding: 0 20px 20px;
background: rgb(239, 243, 245)none !important ;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
_display: inline;
}
.after_content {
background: rgb(239, 243, 245)none !important ;
}
.editor_controls floatcontainer {

background: #F2F6F8 !important;
}
.vB_Editor_QR_textarea {

background: #F2F6F8 !important;
}

How did you get the old ones back?

Seems to depend on your resolution and size of the browser window. It's kinda funny seeing part of a picture in my scrollbar

That's weird. They all seem to look fine to me. I'm using a 23 inch monitor though. What size is your monitor and can you give us a screenshot? Hint: use screengrab extension in Firefox.

Yep it's definitely the resolution, in 1024x768 the picture will overlap like this:

But if the browser window is wide enough, then the post gets wider and the picture will fit, like this:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/swift412/mybb_screenshot1b.jpg

Similarly with pictures in quotes:

The ones with colour, not those dreary yellow ones.

Stupid browser thinks colour is spelt without the u.

I am using Opera 10.10... I will fiddle with firefox shortly.

For those with FF who don't fancy messing with CSS, you can always install the Stylish add-on. Then head over to http://userstyles.org/ for instructions on how to add themes on a per-site basis.

Did you flush your browser cache? I still see the rough edges ones.

There is a language chooser in the bottom left corner, but only has English (US) as a selection option
