Question on Reboot child framework

okay, I think this is the only question I have. I modified the colors in midnight to fit our color scheme. I've added a couple rules to the child css, such as these

#spMainContainer .spGroupForumSection.spEven, #spMainContainer .spForumTopicSection.spEven, #spMainContainer .spMemberListSection.spEven {
background: #EFF6E3!important;
}
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spUserSection {
background: #D3D3D3!important;

}

the only issue I am having is that I moved all the default overlays to the child theme and activated the theme switcher plug-in so if the members want to change it they can. Those two rules are overriding the defaults as well, so I guess my question is what would I modify in my custom midnight overlay so I can remove them from the stylesheet. I'm having a heck of a time finding where to do it.

Thank-you

Hey kvr,

For the first one (the sections), they use the variable $indexRowEvenBackGround.

For the second one (the spUserSection) it uses the variable $topicUserSectionBackGround

You should just be able to find these in your custom overlay and add your custom colours as the value.

I tried just substituting the hex code for the colors right after those and that didn't work, so I just made some changes to the colors that they were calling for, mostly changing base color 7 to 1 and it seems to be working fine, thanks gents

Holy crap, this is easier than I thought, took me 5 minutes to throw together a light version overlay that still ties into our site using the minimalist overlay, reboot is awesome.

Glad you are enjoying it, that was the idea and not too different from Unified in that aspect - a few quick changes once you know your way around it!

Actually one last question, after experimenting and tweaking some things I prefer the lighter theme I made this morning, only thing I am having difficulty with changing is the Unread and recently updated topics background and hover at the bottom, I would like them to go odd even like the forum, any suggestions?

Well although they are designed to only show one background colour to differentiate them from the forum rows, they still have the class spEven and spOdd attached to them.

You can build the class in the stylesheet and either give them colours there, or give them an overlay variable so you can have a different background colour for different overlays - presuming you want them to have lighter background colours than the forum rows odd and even.

Which would you prefer?
