Cbox color issue solution

Cbox color issue solutionSat Aug 20, 2016 3:11 pm

Simple suggestion for Cbox

Add this line to CSS code

Code:

#awc_message {
    color: black !important;
}

This will make what I type in the cbox black like here:

Spoiler :

But when its sent to Cbox to others to see its still with the color a member has chosen to themselves. Why is it a good idea? Cause Cbox background is black and where you type is white. If I'd choose a lighter color like yellow it is unreasonably hard to see what I type and if I have made any errors while typing. Also I cant use darker font color, cause other would have hard time to read what I wrote.

Example with typing lighter color:

I hope you admin will take this suggestion into consideration and apply it.

That will make the font color black, not the background.

Also, are you using the old chat? Cause I updated it about 8 hours ago or something. Which was before you make this topic.

It was before the CSS fked up from what I know.

I'am well aware that it will make the writing text black. Hmm what do you mean "Old chat" cause when you update I'd see the changes.

This would solve your problem, if you wanna make the background where you write black you'd have to use this code:

Code:


#awc_message {
background-color: black;
}

Also you'd have to fix this line:

Code:

box-shadow: inset 0 3px 5px #CCC;

Cause it would looke weird when you have that black background and gray box-shadow.

Also you should add something like this:

Code:

.achat_row {
 font-size: 12px !important;
}

The font size right now is too small and hard to read. Making it 12px should be quite enough I think. Hope I helped. Just trying to make cbox abit better.

I know my way around CSS, after all I was the one who made the skin.

But I don't see where you're going with this, I don't see 'Chat color issue' on my screen. The background is already black.

I mean Cbox textarea. Where you type in your message. It would be better when its either darker like the cbox background or you make the text you gonna type in black. Simple as that. Cause on the black background lighter color are easier to read but harder to type and see on the current textarea.

Unless you're typing using white as a colour you should still be able to identify what you're typing.

All the lighter colors which are more visible on the dark bakground are harder to identify what you are writing. I think that making typing text black would be alot a good thing tho. cause then everycolor can be used in cbox.

EDIT:

Code:

#awc_userlist {
text-shadow: 0 0px #00F !important;
}
#avacweb_chat {
    text-shadow: 0 0 #00F !important;
}
#awc_rightbox {
 text-shadow: 0 0 #00F !important;
}
.achat_row {
 text-shadow: 0 0px #00F !important;
}

Also removing these lines will make dorm colors more accurate. Right now Slifer dorm color looks pinkish/purpleish. Admin color looks like bleached orange etc.

What browser are you using? Because from my end Slifers are "Red" and Admins are "Orange".

Re: Cbox color issue solutionFri Aug 26, 2016 10:20 am

Iam using mozilla firefox. I brought this up cause more than one person had told it in the chatbox that their color seems abit off than it should be.

Re: Cbox color issue solutionSun Aug 28, 2016 7:45 am

Are everyone having this issue using the same browser?

Re: Cbox color issue solutionSun Aug 28, 2016 10:02 am

Well on my computer I've has the same problem really and I'm using Google Chrome...

Re: Cbox color issue solutionSun Aug 28, 2016 10:09 am

I'm using Google Chrome as well, only difference is that colours are fine on my end. I can't really fix something that looks OK on my screen.

I'll give it a look later on tonight when more Slifers get online on chat, only way to work this out is if people were logged-in to Chat. Preferable more than one person.
