How To Change Color Of Links And Of Category Description

Hi everyone,

I have search through this forum to find out how to change color of links and color of category description text in Milky way (Blue) template.

By default, the link color of Milky way is white which is the same (nearly) as the white color of background. So users often asked me to change it for looking

By default, the description text color of a category is black. I want to change it to other color. Is this possible and how can I do ?

Thanks for your attention,

Re: How To Change Color Of Links And Of Category Description

Thanks for your reply Mighty Gorgon,

You are right, I'm talking about Milky way template lastest version for phpbb 3.0.2. Now I know I was wrong to post this topic here, sorry !

After posting the first post, I found that you helped everyone for many things at phpbb.com in Milky way template section. I learned somthing about the pretty template. I have tried to change color of links in section of Links in stylesheet.css from #656565 to a blue but I think blue is not suitable for template colors. If you tell me the same way as I did, will you please to sugguest a suitable color for the link in post content.

More question:
- For guest, who is not registered or not logged in, there is a login box with username and password textbox in the bottom of index page. I want to move it to new place, between the overall header and category list. How can we do this ?
- I'm wondering whether you have any customized index page for Milky way. I like www.icyphoenix.com index page but I don't want to use a CMS, just a phpbb forum.

Thanks for your time to help me !

Limun's solution solved my problem, now the login box is moved to new place. Thanks for your help, Limun !

About the links color:

- By default, link color in post and some other links is grey (we use Milky way blue template). So members of the forum asked me to change to other color to see link clearly
- Please help me to change this ! But I want to change the color of links in post only, keep other color of links as it is

Thanks for all your help !

Glad you like it - There's also a lot of recommended graphics stuff here in the Docs / Sticky somewhere that shouldn't be too hard to find, that you could use for colour-matching. We think MG uses it a lot.

Inactive User Guest	Re: How To Change Color Of Links And Of Category Description ?? What else do you want? There are some things you need to do by yourself - and you will have to learn how to do them. Also phpBB.com is a very good place for finding out how to change and manipulate template sets.

Re: How To Change Color Of Links And Of Category Description

First, you don't make anyone unhappy - it's just that you need to be clear in the things you want to do, and if they are not finished, you need to refresh the question about what you are trying to do next.

Ok, in answer to your question:

You can't change one set of links without affecting the other links with the same colour, unless you change the .css classes in the templates, and write another class in the style.css for those links that you only want to change.

If you don't know how to do that, then you will have to learn how to manipulate html and .css markup, and if you need to find out what links have what classes; then you could use view-source to bring up that information.
