How to make reply boxes transparent
How to change the reply boxes
Here you find all the sections need for to change background-color, background-image, borders , text and links colors for the whole reply section of your site. It works for all the Customized Themes and for any Custom Theme you are using!
You can to change
in the background-color properties: transparent with a valid color code, such as #010101
in the background-image properties: none with url(Here_the_URL), where Here_the_URL is a valid URL
in the border-style properties: use none for to hide border; use solid, dashed, dotted, etc. for to view it
about the text color properties (color: #123456) and all the other color codes I report below all the lines where to change the values with demonstrative assignments.
The code below make Mykonos theme totally transparent (except the right rail)
In order to make the reply boxes transparent you have to apply the previous code more this code for removing the theme
/* Mykonos (removing theme)*/
/* bg color and image */
div#page_start {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: none;
border-color:#FFFFFF;
border-style:none;
border-width:medium 5px;
}
/* title */
div.owner_nav {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: none;
border-color:#443322;
border-style:none;
border-width:1px medium medium;
}
/* footer */
div#ownedfooter {
background:transparent none no-repeat scroll left bottom;
border-color:#443322;
border-style:none;
border-width:1px;
}
NewsPaper - Retro - Sandskrit - Basecamp - Blocks - Petals - Avlack - Outburst - Melon - Red Frog - Shadow Box use the code below for changing the colors of the reply boxes.
In those themes the theme layout involves the reply boxes.
In order to make the reply boxes transparent you have to use the code below more the next code for removing the theme.
Tendentially the code below make all those Themes totally transparent (except the rail, the header and the navigation bar) removing the theme design
I you want to make the reply boxes transparent you have to apply the previous code more this code that remove the theme
There is some new code involving the box where to add a comment
the code below make it transparent
just change the assignments to having some bg-color or bg-image or border
Note:
The gray border of the text area isn't removable nor changable
/* box containing the add a comment box */
div#itemreplyform {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0%;
border:1px none #000000;
}
/* [add a comment:] */
span.addreplylabel {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
/* text area box */
textarea#body {
background:transparent none;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
Notes: LINKS
This is the default assignment for all the themes
/* Visitor's user id & reply function links (note those below are the general links of your site)*/
a, a:visited, a:link {
color: #aaaaaa;
}
a:hover {
color: #ff0000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
/* reply function (edit and delete links) */
div.actionlinks a.mine, div.actionlinks a.mine:link, div.actionlinks a.mine:visited {
color: #00ffff;
}
div.actionlinks a.mine:hover {
color: #ffff00;
}
The code I have used for all the themes is a little different
/* visitor's User ID */
/* user ID */
.replyboxstamp a, .replyboxstamp a:link, .replyboxstamp a:visited {
color: #aaaaaa;
}
/* reply function (edit and delete & reply links) */
div.actionlinks a, div.actionlinks a.mine, div.actionlinks a.mine:link, div.actionlinks a.mine:visited {
color: #00ffff;
}
div.actionlinks a:hover, div.actionlinks a.mine:hover {
color: #ffff00;
}
...xtianity this is a good question .. it depend by what means "share all your tutorials" of course I make the code for diffuse it; so if a friend ask u something of course u can to use all the code u want but if you mean re posting all my posts like I have made it in some other place I prefer if you do not repost my posts. I prefer if they join my group. only cause I want to constituite a big group for the CSS reference in Multiply
anyway I'll modify the code of the posts that I have make too ,, cause errors are always present.
so I'd say use my code like you want for to aid other users too, but do not repost it
uhmmmm oh there are many considerations about this - if u post for your contacts .. probably I'll never know this. - the code is this not other. It isn't a poem. there aren't creative images ,,, so ,, you can post all css code you want ;-) only there is another kind of creativity just applied to explain something. I like to preserve like mine the global looks of the tutorials but the code is universal
another observation is that the problem of the information is to find what you are searching so maybe when I'll make 100 posts could be a problem to find a thing
I'll create a structured data access in the group's welcome page. with different ways for pull out information
you are using Melon theme if you want make transparent the replies boxes you must to use the first part named BASE CODE - ALL THEMES plus the part MELON add those two sections in your custom box BELOW ALL THE OTHER CODE YOU FIND IT
all the light background in the replies will disappear
if you want simply to change the color of the reply boxes such as the border or to add a background in the replies ,, then use only the first part BASE CODE - ALL THEMES changing the values form trasparent or none to some color or border or background
of course change the text and links color in both the situations!!!!
you are using Custom theme. now .. you've used the tool for making changes to the background color, border color, text color and links color. all the change you make in the tool will come in your custom theme and only those. not others you do not have made changes to the reply boxes ... therefore the sections of the reply boxes aren't in your css edit box
more all the words beteween the comments /* and */ are inserted by me ,, those are the keys for understanding the corrispondence from code and sections in the web page so it is easy for everyone to make the changes ,, but normally there aren't comment in the code...
:-) yes I see ,,, anyway u can to avoid searching the code ,, simply add the code BELOW all the other code you have in the css box the last assignment overspread all the previous assignments
search the code for your theme and add that at bottom of the code in css box
body { background:#333333 none repeat scroll 0%; }
you can substitute the none with url(image_url) where image _url is the background of your site .. this is the normal way for to assign the background with all the other themes except the custom theme
I think the first step for understanding like to change and move this code is the more hard ,, after all become more easy unfortunately it is very difficult to explain this first step :-)
take a look to my posts ... better of that I cannot explain :-))) if u have some problem tell me for example I have do not undestand what mean The: HomeBlogPhotosRecipesLinks line went down for somereasons...and I can't fix
try that if u have a problem I must to see the page with the problem for saying something
OK....I put back the customize theme.... the box where Home blog photos located (h1#page_owner_title) if I am not mistaken. anyway...the box is overlapped so it's kindda mess up.

it is exxplained in some place here
unfortunately this is a change became in the last update
ok...thnx a lot for ur time...i'll try to see what i can do..all i need is the equivalent/meaning of properties in my css then it'll be easier for mr to customize my site...thnx again, maria...:)
guess we were refering to the codes and what they stand for...coz there are codes i don't know in my css box...and i'd like to know which codes stand for the reply boxes...so maybe i can delete them and replace them w/ the code u made...

well ,., one section of css code is something like
section name { Property 1: value 1; Property 2: value 2; ,,,,,,,
}
the section name tecnically is named Selector and it is used for to affect in the html code in the page that is tagged with this selector name,.,.,.,
so ,., if in the html page I have an html istruction like <img class="My_Class" src="here_is_the_Image_URL">
then I can modify the look of this part of the page (and all the other parts in all the pages of the site tagged with the same class) simply by changing the section
My_Class { .,,,,,,,,,,,,,, }
in the css file.
Now ,., if I have understood you are asking for the correspondence between any object in your page and his name in the css for to referring it changing the css code ...
welll
I'm putting this primary information in my posts simply by using the COMMENTS ... I name any section with a comment /* This is a comment */
you can to leave the comments in your code
just yuo must to read also the name used by the section cause often they are auto explicative
so for example I think it is clear what means replyboxread or quotet
,.,.,
now the time for to understand all this is some week ,.,. not just some day ,.,
I have noticed you have finally got the reply boxes transparents ;-)
,.,. for the code you dont know in your css ,,, this is not surprising =o) simply leave there all the code you dont know ,,,
you must to know this : if you get a customized theme then your CSS box is totally void , blank ! cause the css file for the customized theme is in another place.
if you get The custome Theme and you want to modify your theme starting by the first changes you make in the custom theme then you have the code in the css box . it is the code you have inserted using the tool for changing the colors in the custom theme so ,, leave the code there and to not wonder about that me too I dont know all the code I have in the box using the custom theme.
I put very concise eplicative comments to my posts; there are many reasons:
1 it is difficult to me putting good comment in english so I limitate my english explaination 2 the comments in the code must to be concise cause otherwise it is dispersive reading the code. 3 The text to read must to be more concise possible cause to read take time 4 Probably this code is made not for an absolutely beginner ,, but I cannot to explain any time all the basics .. I have made some post for beginners .. take a look to those post,,,
really the concept to understand are not so much normally my posts are perfects for all the experienced ppl but you can easily find in other posts I have made all infos for to understand all my posts
anyway I'm preparing an aid for to get the correspondence between the name in the css and the fisical place in the page just it is a view of one standard page with all the blocks - parts made clickable (header -nav bar- itembox - rail- footer) and giving the corresponding names for the selectors but I dont know when and if I'll terminate it =)
as i have said to you before.. for someone with limited english.. u sure use BIG words that I myself needed a dictionary to know the meanings.. he he..
as i have said to you before.. for someone with limited english.. u sure use BIG words that I myself needed a dictionary to know the meanings.. he he..
really ?????????
gosh ...
it is difficult to find every time the right word !!! every english word has 10 different meanings more the australian slang dictionary I have ,, for wich ,, every thing is a dirty word =)
thanks maria..done that...but my guestbook is gone too...lol how about if i want to put this code in certain album only? geeezz sorry...i should've mentioned it earlier...heheh as for the third block, i haven't checked yet..
hi maria.. as in the example above, i can see all (title, content box, tags, forward replies to email addy.. BUT not the Allow replies...there's no "allow replies" and there's no box to un-check. or do i have to change to certain theme? thanking you in advance..:D
Maria all is well again how do i add a picture url to the bakground of my guestbook in the reply section where they post their comment and the boxes under the reply box that holds their comments?
I was wondering... How did you make that glittery effect on that box on the right (where it contains Invite Members, Quit Group, RSS Feed [?], Report Abuse stuff)? Can I make it transparent, too?
hey, i really have this problem with the white part in my page. can anyone check it out and tell me what to do so it'll be transparent? thanks a lot and god bless. :D
,,,Budi ,,, you are using the custom them so simply copy all the code in this post dedicate to
