Shoutbox mod... Please Help

[Daggers]

Hi,

I have just installed your Shoutbox mod and it works great.

BUT, there is always a but, I am using the Black & White theme which uses white text on a black background. The colour of the text box within the shoutbox is so light that you cant see the text when typing I need the text box to be darker.

I can install the boards and mods but thats about as far as my knowledge goes, so your help would be greatly appreciated. Is it in a css file somewhere or is it somewhere else???

I don't want to take the shoutbox off when there may be an easy solution.

Please help

Many thanks
Daggers

Ok, open your index_body.tpl file, and find:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="shout" length="50" maxlength="255" /> <input type="submit" value="{L_SUBMIT}" />

Now replace that little section with the following:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="shout" style="width:450px" tabindex="2" class="post"  length="50" maxlength="255" /> <input type="submit" tabindex="5" class="mainoption" value="{L_SUBMIT}" />

Let me know how it goes

You're a star mate, many many thanks, its also made the text box larger which is great.



Much appreciated
