[solved] SmartDark button issues

I'm hoping this would be the correct place to post this.

Okay, so I have issued with those little buttons that you see when you are say...in the links area see example here: http://www.shiversofhorror.com/forum/li ... ges&cat=14 see the top right corner? The button? Well, almost every button of that type is like that - no text on it so you don't know what you are clicking..its also like that in the MCP at the bottom, and its like that when you want to split a topic, etc.

I don't create template because I don't know how to make them, but if someone could point out to me how to fix this, I could probably edit it.

Thanks - and sorry if this is in the wrong area.

do you mean the Sort button? That's the only button I see anyway...

Those are HTML/Javascript buttons. The text color, is probably the problem. You would have to look in SmartDark.css, I'm not sure which entry it would be though, as I have never looked at this theme, and I'm not sure which class those buttons use....

maybe this will help? might be in the same area of the .css file, or maybe even is the same class...

open smartDark.css

find

input,textarea,select {
color : #CDCDCD;
font: normal 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
border-color : #A0A0A0;
}


change #CDCDCD to a more contrasting color. Be careful about using black as this tag may also be used on a black bkg elsewhere
to see if that is your prob, change the color to #00FF00 and check your bittons. Also see if any of your text on a black bkg turns green

Ok, turning it green does change the color of the text, but it also effects, um...how do I put this...any letters that appear in a box...like right on this page where it says JUMP TO, any box like that, the text inside is effected. I'm going to see if I can find a color I can live with so I can actually see the font on the buttons

Sadly it appears to effect the text when you are composing a message as well...

Is there a way to change the background on these buttons? Or would I have to do it page by page?

you would have to edit every .tpl file which has that type of button in it and change them to an image.
