Giantbomb Forums - CSS Font Color Tweak
By Binman88 12 Comments
Maybe it's just me, but I find it a bit difficult to see the dark text below a thread title in the forum list (the one telling you the name of the board the thread is posted in), so I decided to do something about it and thought I'd share it here (this applies to the dark theme).
Custom stylesheets for websites aren't new, but in case anyone is wondering how to apply an edit like this on a site specific basis, here's a quick rundown of what you need to do. I use the Chrome browser, but there are comparable extensions/add-ons to let you do this in other browsers as well.
- Open Chrome and install Personalised Web from the store.
- Once installed, click the wrench icon to the right of your navigation bar in Chrome, and go to Tools - Extensions.
- Scroll to Personalised Web, and click Options.
- Choose Add New Rule and type in a desired rule name
- In the Match URLs box, type in ^http://www.giantbomb.com
- In the Add CSS box, paste the following code
7. Click the Save button and reload the forums! The aforementioned text will now be yellow in colour - as defined by the 6 character code #FFC61A. You can change this colour to anything you want (google hexidecimal codes to find the colour you want, or use Photoshop)..forums tbody td.title a.board, .pms tbody td.title a.board, tbody td.user span { color: #FFC61A !important; }
8. This edit also changes the colour of the time-stamp text below the author name and last poster - if you don't want this changed, simply remove the last section before the curly bracket in the code above, ie. ", tbody td.user span", so the code will look like the following
Hope this is of use to someone. Apologies if something like this has been posted before!.forums tbody td.title a.board, .pms tbody td.title a.board {color: #FFC61A !important;}
(attached the the editing and tools forum, because that seems logical)
