Change background colour

[Ronald]

SMF 2.1 RC2.. I find the face page kind of bright and hard to read..

How can I change the colour for the pages..

That depends on the theme you are using. You want to look for the "body" class which would be similar to this like the theme on this site in /Themes/your_theme/css/index.css:

Code Select Expand

body {
    background: #e9eef2;
    font: 83.33%/150% "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif;
    color: #4d4d4d;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    min-height: 100vh;
}
Change this:

Code Select Expand

background: #e9eef2;
The color will not be the same but you get the idea. For the font color, change:

Code Select Expand

color: #4d4d4d;

I did change the background, but not what I want.

See my images they show what I want to change, I need some colour that is easy on the eyes, the white backgrounds are way to bright..

This is what I'd like to change the colours on, maybe a little bluer.

Are you asking to change the background around the boards and topics or the backgrounds of the boards and topic?

Like this, of course, not maybe that color:

Yes, When I open the forum, I'd like to see a soft colour, when I open a topic I'd like to see a soft colour..

Question I was just on cripzone and I see a theme skin called blue piece, is that theme skin available for 2.1 RC2, now I really like that skin very easy on the eyes..

I just edited my post above.

No, Blue Piece is not available for RC2 but we can start work on it for RC2 if you'd like.

Yea, I could go for that, it still has white but not as much.

So, do you want edits made to the theme you have or for us to work on Blue Piece?

Lets work on the Blue Piece

Ok, but always remember...never edit the default Curves theme. Make a copy of that and edit that one and use it instead, if needed. When there's an upgrade it will destroy all of your changes and may also make it hard for mods to add their code.

It's just a start but it's something:

Looks real good.

That is what I'm looking for Steve, how can I make the changes..

[Skhilled]

First, create a copy of the default theme and give it a name. Then upload this index.css to it.
