i am trying to change the background color on my portal.
i went to the config.php of the theme that i choosed(formalwhite)
and changed this part: using the color i want(#231f20)
// These colours are not used anymore, so I've set them to
// bright green to help identify where they should be removed
// These lines will be deleted soon
$THEME->body = "#231f20"; // Main page color
$THEME->cellheading = "#231f20"; // Standard headings of big tables
$THEME->cellheading2 = "#231f20"; // Highlight headings of tables
$THEME->cellcontent = "#231f20"; // For areas with text
$THEME->cellcontent2 = "#231f20"; // Alternate colour
$THEME->borders = "#231f20"; // Table borders
$THEME->highlight = "#231f20"; // Highlighted text (eg after a search)
$THEME->hidden = "#231f20"; // To color things that are hidden
$THEME->autolink = "##231f20"; // To color auto-generated links (eg glossary)
?>
I then uploaeded this file and nothing happened?
do you know what am i missing??
the portal in which i am wokring on is on this link:
you can loking as a guest in my pilot conference using the password: yolk001
http://www.yolkmedia.com/moodle/
and i want to make the necessary changes so it really looks like this other link:
http://yolkmedia.com/CdRH/Conferences.htm
i really appreciate your thoughts.
thank you
Read carefully:
// These colours are not used anymore
In Formal White theme you may change colors in theme/formal_white file fw_color.css
If you take from your page http://yolkmedia.com/CdRH/Conferences.htm
following part from style tags and paste it to the end of fw_color.css (or replace corresponding tags) pages look more alike:
body,td,th {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
body {
background-color: #231f20;
}
a:link {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF9900;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF9900;
}
But you need to edit not only colors but also layout (fw_layout.css) to get a good result.
I am still working on the costumization of the first page.
Do you know what tag shoudl i change if i only want to change the font size of a label that i am using for my main page? i want this font to be smaller (only by one point) i want it to be 10
and the reamining of the text of the page in 11.
thank you,
There are many "labels" but you could start from this tutorial: http://www.themegurus.com/css_chats.php
If you can't find correct tags attach a screenshot of that part you want to change. Some css tags are different in different versions of moodle and you may find more tags from standard theme css files (with comments)
