I know this is around the forums, and I've tried to try all the solutions I've seen. I'm using a customized css is the siriux theme. I've changed the background in the css to black. On the "Gallery User Administration" page, aka Login, the text fields are are black as the background and the text that goes in them. Therefore no one can see what they are inputting. This doesn't occur anywhere else and I don't see color-packs in use in siriux. I've spent a lot of time today trying to figure this out, step by step altering all of the background colors in anything that looks possible to be a white box or white text in the black box. It's the most current version of gallery (at least as of two days ago when I installed it on this site). any ideas? thank you |

Look for #giFormUsername, #giFormGroupname and #giFormPassword in the theme.css file in the siriux folder.
Also install Firebug (http://www.getfirebug.com/) - it will let you drill down into the html page to see and edit the styles applied to different elements. And other useful stuff.

Thanks for the quick note. Sadly thats the area I've been focused on. The code for it currently looks like this:
#giFormUsername {
background: #ffffff;
}
#giFormGroupname {
background: #ffffff;
}
#giFormPassword {
background: #ffffff;
}
it has said background-color too, and had the icons as well.
you can see the lack of white space here:

Thanks again for your help!

Mine reads as follows:
#giFormUsername, .giFormUsername { background: #ffcc99; padding-left: 5px; } #giFormGroupname { background: #ffcc99; padding-left: 5px; }And it's just peachy. Literally.
Use Firebug as I suggested - it will show you all the hierarchical styles applied to any element, and let you edit them in real time.

You can do what alecmyers suggests or why not use the black colorpack? Somebody has alredy done the css for for you when you use a colorpack.
moved thread to css forums.

Thanks to both of you! I've got an admission to make up front, I have been using two themes to manage the gallery... one for the top level and one for everything else. There was a reason with some small differences I wanted between the top and the sub galleries. I was editing the wrong theme.css for half the time. I'll fess up to a stupid moment.
Anyway, it worked. I do have a question though, does siriux use colorpacks? I have them activated in all of the installs I've done of gallery, but haven't seen how to use them in Siruix, Matrix no problem.
This goes to another vote to note just working into the night.
Thanks again.

Then how did I change the background colour in my gallery?
I think I did it by altering a colorpack.
Honestly, I dont remember how I did it!

The link provided and the login from that page is black text and white background.
What was it you wanted to do? There is theme.css that you can make adjustments.

The background I have chosen was cornsilk (#FFF8DC), that is the color I see as its background when I look at the album.
Other visitors also see that colour as its background.
Now im really confused!

The login field is white with black letting. The title of this thread: Siriux Login field.
What is it you are after?

I wanted (and thought I succeeded) in altering the colorpack of Siriux so that the general background of my album is the Cornsilk colour.
Because the colorpack changing was mentioned here I thought I'd check it out.
People who visit the album say the background is indeed the cornsilky colour.

You edited theme.css.
