How do I change alt background-color of forum/topic Titles and Counts? -

This css changes Titles to light blue -
#sforum .sfblock .sfforumtable .sfforumitem { background: #eff9fa; }

But this css will not change color of the alt Titles -
#sforum .sfblock .sfforumtable .sfforumitem .sfalt { background: #faf6ef !important; }

And this css changes Counts to light orange -
#sforum .sfforumtable .sfcounts { background: #faf4e1;}

But this css will not change color the alt Counts -
#sforum .sfforumtable .sfcounts sfalt { background: #faf4e1; }

not an easy question to answer as not sure I understand… which page view? sometimes best to upload image here with area in question… or better yet, suggest firefox with firebug… absolutely required tool for playing with css…

typically the title stuff is controlled by

#sforum .sfforumtable td

you might need a !important to override whats there… and in some skins, you have to worry about

#sforum .sfforumtable td.sfalt

where the colors alternate by row…

and that style is typically applied to every column in the table… but the different columns have different styles too if you want to change just one column…

again, give firefox with firebug addon a try… will make this easy for you…

but come on back if you need more help…

That worked great for #sforum .sfforumtable td.alt, changed entire topic row,

but for #sforum .sfforumtable td, it doesn't change the topic iconcell on left,

even when I add -

#sforum .sfforumtable td, #sforum .sfforumtable td .sficoncell

Glad to hear it!

Are you using Firefox with the Firebug extension? It takes all the hardwork out of finding problem CSS and testing changes on the fly quickly and easily.
