aaacckk -- the green is back

[dogwood]

Somehow the green is back for certain words on my website. Like here the "buy" button clashes with my red print info button.

I notice where comments are enabled, that's also green. How do I change the color back to something a little less green? :D

Also, I notice my fonts are different too-- I can live with that for now but was there a coding change made over the weekend that affected certain styles?

Pete, always good to see the release notes and sticky thread:

I'll fix you up in 2 mins.

Pete, add this to your CSS:


#comment_header .title, .cartbuttons .title {color: XXXXXX !important;}

put your color choice (#fff?) in lieu of XXXXXX

Thanks, Andy.

I still have two questions:

Is there a way to overide ALL the green (I notice it's on the subcategory headings too-- and probably more) throughout my entire site? Seems like I had it all removed prior to the latest changes.

EDIT: figured this out: Also, I tend to use the rgb codes for font colors (ie white = rgb 255, 255, 255) how do I code that in CSS to replace the green?

BUT STILL WONDERING ABOUT THIS: Or is there a way to replace all the green with white -- site wide? :scratch

Okay, so I grabbed some really cool code from Allen a while back that put a frame around the lightbox when you clicked on a photo. Now the captions are coming up as black bars... how do I change it back so they can actually be read while the lightbox is open?

Here's a sample (click on the first image) of what I'm talking about:

#item {color: #ffffff;} makes "item" white.

We don't use those any more (I was the one that started it) now due to Stretchy, and then the image isn't calculated right, size-wise with Auto Lightbox.

So pete,
<link href="/include/css/pureSmugBlack.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" id="pureSmugBlack" />


why are you trying to style over pureSmugBlack? You woulnd't have to do much of any of these gyrations if you took that out and used say, Gradient Grey as all pages theme.

Let's chat more when you're up and about today on the west coast :thumb

Thanks, Andy for getting back to me on this.

Okay, I removed the line above from my code and switched over everything to gradient grey. Looks good so far.

I also removed the "lightbox" code from my CSS. That solved the caption issue but I sure did like the look of that white frame around the photos. You didn't happen to write up some new code that works with stretchy, did you Andy? :D

I didn't... less is more, IMO, too:

Well, I can live without the white frame. But now my "add comment" button is still green here:

http://petespringer.smugmug.com/gallery/274482_MLR8W#112984802_w3MTq

Any way to change that to something a bit softer on the eyes?

Choose Gradient Grey as all-pages theme perhaps? http://petespringer.smugmug.com/homepage/controlpanel.mg customize tab.

Let me know...

Aaahhh-- I set the theme on my homepage previously-- not in the control panel. Just switched that and it appears to have wiped out the green -- at least in the visitor view.

BTW: that visitor view is a nice addition. I'm liking most of the changes now that I'm figuring out how to implement them. Thanks for your help, Andy.
