serendipitysidebartitle & sitenav don't show bold

Post by TopDawg »

I can't seem to figure out why...I've put a "font-weight: bold;" just about everywhere, lol

EDIT: in IE6, the sidebar titles are bold, but not the menu...in firefox, neither show bold :?:

Code: Select all

The font IS bold.... the problem is that you do not necessarily see that using your browser's default font size setting in conjunction with the font-size defined. Start by changing the font size to >= 100% in the css.... I think you will see a difference. And - I like your colors!!! Nice job of customizing the blue colorset to a brown scheme!!!

When I'm totally finished, I'll toss something over into the showcase.

Glad the suggestion helped.... and welcome to the community!! Keep up the good work. I must say that your rss icon is one I have never seen before! Cool!

And unless you want them to be blue in your brown scheme, don't forget to provide alternative versions of blue_back.png, blue_forward.png, blue_openquote.png, blue_closequote.png and blue_graph_bar.png. The arrows are used for the calendar, as well as optionally for previous/next page. The graph bar can be seen on the archive page... select the "older" link to see it.

One final recommendation.... you seem to be making modifications to the file blue_style.css... I suggest you rename this to something like brown_style.css, then select that as your colorset under Manage Styles for BP.... that way, if there are updates to bulletproof in the future, your changes will not be overwritten by our modifications of bulletproof.

If you do that, of course, your arrows and graphbar need to follow the same naming convention, ie brown_back.png.

any idea why the brown_xml.png doesn't come up in place of the blue one?

Yes, that's the one of these files which can't be determinded automagically since it is substituted using CSS. All other images (calendar arrows and graph bar) are selected in the template files which use Smarty to pick the files suited for the colorset. CSS can't use smarty, so you're going to have to modify this part:

Code: Select all

.serendipity_xml_icon {
    background: url('img/blue_xml.png') center center no-repeat;
    padding: 10px 0;
    margin: 0;
    visibility: visible;
}

 .serendipity_xml_icon img {
    visibility: hidden;
}
of your colorset's *_style.css to use your brown RSS icon.

Come to think of it, that applies to the blockquotes (open & close) as well... the file name is specifically identified in the css.

You know me. It's the middle of the night here, I'm at my girlfriend's place, the dog is snoring, I'm not at my own computer, and it's friggin' late, so I might be completely wrong ... but I'm pretty sure those are not images we use in any colorset :-)

Correct - only the green colorset uses those images... I just meant that they are another example of images that are specifically identified in css, not automagically used following a colorset naming convention.
