How to change the background color for upcoming_events module?
All; I'm pretty new to Tiki. I've been creating a collaboration website for my team for the last few weeks using Tiki-8.3. It is hosted on my employer's Linux server and is running under lampstack-5.3.13-0 ( which provides Apache 2.2.15, PHP 5.3.13 and Mysql 5.5.21). I'm using Feb12 as the theme. I don’t know much about css but I've created a custom.css file
/* $Id: custom.css Liz Wilson 7 May 2012 $ Feb12 theme right side bar ( col3) customization. Right side bar now matches left side(col2) bar color */ #col3{ width: 240px; overflow: visible; background: #A8CCE2 url(feb12/columnbg.jpg) repeat-x; } /* this section changes the calendar font color for today's date */ #highlight, .highlight { font: bold 1em Arial, sans-serif; background: url(feb12/cal-highlight.JPG) repeat-x; border: 1px solid #5aa5cf; color: #CC0000; font-size: 80%; text-decoration: none; line-height: 200%; padding: 2px 4px; }
I have assigned the upcoming_events module to PageTop. The problem is that the background color for events is so dark the foreground text is unreadable. I used Firebug for Firefox to discover the HTML code number of the background ( it's #0D348D, thinking I'd just add something to my custom.css that would over-ride the color, but when I search all the files in the tiki-8.3 directory structure using 'find . -exec grep -il 0D348D {} \;' there are no files with that code! I've tried removing the custom.css file and cleaning the cache in Tiki and in my Firefox and IE sessions then starting new sessions but the background color of the event stays the same. I haven't made changes to any of the seeded files — I've check the timestamps to be sure and nothing has been updated this year.
So I have 2 questions. How is the color code being generated? How do I change it so that the display is easier to read?
Any help would be very welcome. Thanks in advance
