[Cialug] OT: CSS Help

Tue Nov 3 11:12:00 CST 2009

Yeah, that's one of the lines I was editing but it didn't appear to
affect the search box.  I'll take a look at it again tonight.

Looks like the winning suggestion is firebug.  I'll get that installed
tonight as well and see what I can find.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Firebug is a terrific suggestion - here is how I personally would fix it
if I were you.

change http://tech.kulish.com/themes/d4rk/css/main.css?F (line 193):
#search input.form-text { color:#ffffff; }

add:
#content .node { margin-bottom:40px; }
Note: someone mentioned to add padding, but generally you want to use
margin to separate elements like nodes, as you might want to use a
background color for your node, and background-color applies to padding,
but not margin.

add:

.item-list .pager li a:link, .item-list .pager li a:visited {
color:#ffffff; }
.item-list .pager li a:hover { color:hotpink; }

I have no idea what you mean by "preview", so you'll have to find that
one on your own.

I'm currently trying to fix up a Drupal theme by correcting some of the
shortcomings I've found, but I've not worked with CSS directly much in
the past.

On my tech.kulish.com site, I am having a couple issues with colors that
I cannot seem to locate in the *.css files anywhere.  I suppose these
could be contained right in the php files themselves, but that would
short circuit the benefits of stylesheets wouldn't it?

Anyway,

Have a look but my problems are:

Text color in 2 specific areas: the search box at the top and pager at
the bottom.

I also have a white text on white background "preview" issue that I am
trying to locate.

And finally, the spacing issue.  There is no extra CR between the blog
posts or on the blocks at the right.

Anyone else using Drupal that's played around with the theme system?
