Stylesheet: Cool Blue<br />Pleasing subtle blues, with a 3D flair. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Demo Here. It is also installed here at threadsdev to use if you wish. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Zip file attached.<br /><br />Install instructions. Put the 2 image files into your /stylesheets/images directory. (If you don't have one, you might need to create the images directory inside stylesheets). <br /><br />
Awesome color scheme... I've been tweaking it, but have found some problems. I wanted ALL the blue colored links to be #3366CC. Which isn't a problem, except some links for some reason do not get changed and are the default blue you see on every webpage:<br /><br />[]http://zen.nailed.org/coolblue.gif[/]<br /><br />See where the arrows are? That is the default blue (#0000FF). But for every link attribute in the CSS I specified it to be #3366CC <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Notice visited links display the correct color.. in the image above notice the "Post" and "Next" buttons, that is the color I want all links to be. I can't figure it out <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm Not sure why that would be.<br /><br />Did you get the visited link styles too.<br /><br />There are several link attributes in there, beyond what's a the very top.<br /><br />I'd double check... do a search for the a: attribute. Make sure you adjust all the a:link, a:visited etc... all the way throught he file. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I did, even through the ones at the bottom... I will double check again. Its strange though.. the links that haven't been visited are the wrong color, but as soon as you click on them, they work... I'll tripple check and report back <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Nothing.. that's messed up <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />The only link attributes that were not altered are the ones for the header/menu bar, which are white, those don't need to be changed. But no idea why it is being set to default <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Here is a copy of my CSS, you can see all of the a: sections are either #3366CC or left to white for the header/menu <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br />
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br /><br />Its stupid crap like this that makes me want to pull my hair out <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thanks for the snippet you posted Josh, that fixed the buttons <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But I was adding similar code to other sections, like newlighttable and newdarktable and such... NOTHING. <br /><br />I swear, stylesheets NEVER like me, and NEVER work for me correctly. I'm going to go curl up in the corner and cry now <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I'm using JCTemplates and have noticed that with some stylesheets my tables don't line up on ubbthreads as shown below. <br /> <br />[]http://www.drumlines.org/poofa.jpg[/] <br /> <br />Cool Blue is one CSS that causes this. I have tried commenting out several lines in the CSS file to try and find the culprit to no avail. Below you can see that with another stylesheet the tables lineup perfectly. <br /> <br />[]http://www.drumlines.org/oorah.jpg[/] <br /> <br />Cool Blue isn't the only CSS causing this; others do too. So don't think I'm bashing your awesome Cool Blue Josh. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Any one have any experience with this problem or have any ideas?

What do you mean, the columns different widths?<br /><br />Probably the font size. The last post column on the right is defined as "no wrap" so if the text is bigger, it'll push everything over.
JC's stylesheets specify widths for the columns being displayed. He has seperated the categories so that each is a table of it's own in the display. The unmodified forum index displays as one single table and therefore the columns always line up. <br /> <br />This isn't a problem with the stylesheets offered here. It's just that these stylesheets here were not created with JC's templates in mind. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (and honestly I don't think they should be made with them in mind because not everyone is using JC's templates) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Edit Note: After looking at some of JC's stylesheets it seems he doesn't always specify the widths in the columns in question. I had ran into just one such case a while back on someone else's site. Pulled my hair out for a while wondering why the columns were not shrinking... lol
That's exactly what I was talking about. I had to shrink the font down to 5 before it would even-out. Either that or just get rid of the sidebar. I opted instead to put a <br /> in between the last poster and the last post time.<br /><br />[]http://www.drumlines.org/fixed.jpg[/]<br /><br />Thanks again!
Here's my variation on the cool blue theme - thanks for the ideas, Josh. <br /><br /> []http://www.hrman.com/screenshot.jpg[/] <br /><br />You can see the whole thing by going here: <br /><br /> hrman.com community

Hey Josh!<br /><br />I am going to be using this for one of my sites. The problem I am having is that it is placing a 15 pixel white border at the top/bottom and 10 pixel white border on the left/right. I want to remove these, but since I am new to these things, I am not sure what I need to remove or edit.<br /><br />Can you help?<br /><br />Thanks!

Hmmm.... this isn't a table wrapper mod. It's just a stylesheet. Cell Spacing and Cell padding would be defined in the theme file. Where are you seeing this border?

[]http://www.motorsportslounge.com/idir/newderror.gif[/]<br /><br />I am not sure why it is doing this. The initial wrap coding of my header / footer is the same that I use currently using a color changed version of the frosted layout.

In fact, it does the same thing here at threads dev. <br /> <br />I have went ahead and made this live on my site. <br /> <br /> http://www.motorsportslounge.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php <br /> <br />Got any ideas where I can axe that white border around the site (not the border around the forum template itself as that is part of my coding)?
