Hi,

first of thank you for the great theme. It's o easy to edit.

Will be sure to post a link as soon as I'm done.

However, until that date I was thinking of changing the colour of the text in the custom login text.

As it is now the text is OK in the menues but due to my color selection there it doesn't fit very well with the top menu.

Would it be possible to edit the gc_custom_login.php and code that text differently?

Thanks.

It certainly is possible, and very easy to do. If you edit the gc_custom_login.php you will see at the top there is the line:




$tmp .= "<div class='mediumtext' style='white-space:nowrap'>";

Which says that it uses the style 'mediumtext' from your themes style.css. Now you can either change this to another style within your style.css, example




$tmp .= "<div class='mylogintext' style='white-space:nowrap'>";

Or directly set color in the style like this




$tmp .= "<div style='white-space:nowrap; color:#ffffff; background-color:#000000'>";

Thank you for the quick answer.

Just to make sure. If I change a setting for mediumtext in the css-file that would affect the whole site depending on where the reference mediumtext is used?

If I, instead, change it in the gc_custom_login.php file it would be static to the text in the top login menu?

Ok, how about if I would want to have Login ID and Password as one colour and the rest (Settings, Profile, Search and so on) as another text? Is that possible to change also? As I understand those are treated as link and all links, in my case are now red. That is OK for the menues but not for the top meny.

You'll have to excuse me but my css knowledge is useless.

Apreciate your help.

If you change the mediumtext it will effect the the whole site.

Adding a new entry to the css file or adding a direct style will be applied to the login section only.

For the username and password there is already div tags around so you can add the style to that. For the text when your logged in you will need to add your own div tags.

The style can be applied in lots of places, and if you want you can be link specific, for example




<a href='blaa.php' style='text-decoration:none'>Link</a>
