Briney: Separator Colors

Briney, I found the area where line colors are defined.  If you open the Style Sheet and go into WYSIWYG, the very end of the file has a separator area that looks like this...


Quote:
.seperator {
border-bottom: 3px solid #c0c0c0;
border-left: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
background-color: #bbbbbb;


Another one looks like this...

Quote:
.boardcontainer {
background-color: #bbbbbb;
border-bottom: 3px solid #c0c0c0;
border-left: 1px solid #c0c0c0;


The original white color was "#eeeeee", and I changed it to "c0c0c0" which looks a bit better.  Change them to whatever you want.

I also changed the quote text from neon green to red, since neon green on a white background is actively painful to read.  It still doesn't look very good though.

If you need me to find the definitions for any other elements, let me know!

After 35 minutes of digging, I finally figured out what was wrong with the container text.  The WYSIWYG showed an option for setting the font color of the container text, but it never actually did anything.  The source looked like this...

Quote:
#container{
background-color: #000000;
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}


I manually changed it to look like this...

Quote:
#container{
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #000000;
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}


Now the WYSIWYG part works and you can change the container font color through the WYSIWYG platform.  Straight white on black is a bit bright, so it might look better with a moderate gray color.

Good stuff.  I shrunk some of the 3px lines on the front page to be 1px lines, and it looks much cleaner.  I think it looks good now, don't you?

Thanks for taking the time to do this, Briney, I really appreciate the help.
