I'm not sure these are but or not but I did have some problems with css file while making some changes:
- Not all text has a class associated with it. Text without a class appeared black - which does not work on green background. I ended up adding a "text=" to the body tag in the header and ultimately into the body section of the css
- The smalltext class is used both for free-standing text and for text inside of a dropdown box. Thus, I could not set the background color of the dropdown box
- When I look a the message on the screen ( the one where the signature appears ), the message title is classless and thus uses "body" color.
- In the members screen the dropdown box has is classless. Thus, I am unable to set the font, bgcolor, etc. I think many of the dropdown boxes are that way. The join date could be centered ( this is just a preference of mine - yep, the date itself is left justified but since it takes up most of the cell, well, you get it. ). The entered data is left-justified but the find button if right justified which means I have to move the mouse all the way across the screen - fortunately for me, I'm an old "keyboard commander" so I can just hit the enter key. I have mentioned this before - this is supposed to be good design. I have seen it and have concluded it is "good design" since it forces the user to move the mouse over ads - IMHO. Finally, the tabs toward the top appear to be hard code with the color "#dee2eb". But maybe I was just tired by then. This is also on the Private message color. This made it difficult to read because of the color combination.
- On new messages the Browse button is classless.
- The search pages suffers the same fate as the find on the members page. Data entry on the left, button on the right. On this one the field prompts and entry boxes are widely separated. OK, I'll get off my soap box on the left-right separation.( I'd also like the bottons on the Post new message form, up by the "preview" area cause I spend more time up there than down where they are currently located )
For those of you have not messed much with the CSS stuff on FUDforum, you are going to be impressed with the overall work done here when you do. I was impressed. It is not easy to come up with an overall CSS plan that can easily accommodate different styles. The FUDforum folks did an absolutely outstanding job.
