I’m trying to make them white because right now they are black and they disappear in the background. What do I edit to make them whiteeee help… Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately there’s not enough information in your post for us to help you. Please read the posting basics thread to see the best way to pose your problem.:slight_smile:

At present you show no CSS for us to look at and you haven’t posted pure html but some other programming language instead. We need either to see the site in question or at least a cut-down working demo of the problem that exhibits the behaviour you are looking to correct.

This is in the Html template of my site, I posted the hole code i want to modify so idk what else to show.

Under where it says: <div class="float-right control">
I’m trying to to change the color of these buttons to whiteee

We need to see the CSS which goes with this. Where is the styling information which is currently setting those buttons to black?

Is that it?

I don’t see anything making them black…

If u go on the site and look at a members profile: http://platinumscape.boards.net/user/16

Under “Gift” are 2 Black buttons almost fully hidden in the background. One is “Send Message” and the other is “Edit Profile”

I really need them white, can’t find what to edit

Unfortunately, I can’t see those two buttons - presumably because I’m not a logged-in member.

As @PaulOB said, your HTML is not pure HTML, but has something mixed in with it. Likewise, the CSS seems to be using something like LESS or SASS, neither of which I know, so I can’t help there.

If you use the “view source” option in your browser, then copy and paste the source for the relevant section of code, that would at least help up to see what you’re trying to target.

Ok i cant do that on my phone so I will do it when i get home asap and thanks

I just signed up and I still can’t see the buttons in question?

Unless its the gift button and the others to the left as they seem to be black?

If you look carefully you can see “edit profile” lol

A picture is worth a 1000 words :slight_smile:

Do you know how to edit your css files? If so you need to find the rule where you have set the button color which is this variable.

@buttons_text_color

It’s not defined in the css you posted above but you need to find it and change it to the color you want.

e.g.

@buttons_text_color: #fff;

That will change all buttons to that color but you may also need to look at the hover and active colors also if they are also dark.

If you only want to change the color of specific items then you will need to add a class to the item in the html and use that to change the color.

e.g.

.my-button,a.my-button{color:#fff}
<a href="/..." class="button my-button" etc...

Thats soooooo helpful omg, but the thing is when i go to edit my HTML template all it shows about that button is this. And as you said it’s not pure html or something so i’m confused on what to edit :confused:

I believe i’ll have to change

<div class="float-right controls"> $[options] $[send_message_button] $[edit_profile_button] $[follow_button] $[invite_button]

With something like this?

<div class="float-right controls"> $[options] $[send_message_button] <span> class="$[edit_profile_button]" style="color: #ffffff"> $[follow_button] $[invite_button]

Btw this didn’t really work, it did show the button in white but when you click it it doesn’t work anymore…

First just try changing the css file. You must have access to that somewhere?

I assume you are using some forum software of some sort so you will need to look at the documentation as most will give you access to variables or at least to add a custom css file.

I assume you’ve done some customisation yourself already or is this the first time you have tried changing things?

Definetly changed some things myself :stuck_out_tongue:
Though I cant seem to find anything related to the edit button in the CSS

I found this

All these are already set to white… i’m lost

I found it! The color was set as a rgba color in the CSS it was hidden very well but I changed it and got it fixed (: thanks for helping me out
