Forum:What's wrong with my Monaco colors?

I would like to just edit the colors just a bit to fit my Wiki's needs, but I don't know all the coding and such. I would like to see the coding for it so I can copy and paste it. I also want to know at which .css file to put it in so that everyone will see it by default. --Mint brick 16:44, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want the sapphire theme as default, you want to go to Special:Preferences and go to the bottom: Admin Options and then: Set the default theme for this wiki: Sapphire. If you want to see the code, you may want to have a look at http://images.wikia.com/common/skins/monaco/sapphire/css/main.css. Though by default, every wikis theme should be on Sapphire. 17:27, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * As Lcawte says, set the skin to Sapphire. If you want to make modifications that apply to all skins (monaco sapphire, monaco custom, monobook, whichever a user sees), use MediaWiki:Common.css. 19:06, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

I know how to switch to the sapphire skin, but I want it's coding so I can simply edit it's colors. Mint Brick


 * To edit it's colours, you can simply edit MediaWiki:Monaco.css. Read Help:Customizing Monaco for information about editing Monaco. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 16:39, November 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've got color 1 to work now, but color 1a and color 2 don't seem to be changed. Mint  Brick


 * Here's the coding that I'm using. Maybe it will show you what I am wrong with it.

.color1 { background-color: Cyan; color:           Magenta; .color1 a { color:           Cyan; } .color2 { background-color: 	Magenta; } .accent { background-color: Cyan; /Cyan/ border-color: Magenta; /Magenta/ color: Black; /Black/ } .neutral { background-color: #00FFFF; /Cyan/ border-color: #FF00FF; /Magenta/ color: #000000; /Black/ } Mint  Brick

It is really important to my Wiki that I get all of my color scheme working. Mint Brick


 * /* this is a comment in css */, not /this/. 17:11, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

New code: .color1 { background-color: Cyan; color:           Magenta; .color1 a { color:           Cyan; } .color2 { background-color: 	Magenta; } .accent { background-color: Cyan; /*Cyan*/ border-color: Magenta; /*Magenta*/ color: Black; /*Black*/ } .neutral { background-color: #00FFFF; /*Cyan*/ border-color: #FF00FF; /*Magenta*/ color: #000000; /*Black*/ }

Colors 1 a and 2 still aren't working. Mint Brick


 * I hope you dont forget to do a refresh of your browser cache after changing something to the wiki CSS.
 * On IE it's CTRL+F5 and on Firefox SHIFT+F5, it think. — TulipVorlax 05:57, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
