Quote Box Suggesting

**cblinkdude182** · 09-11-2008, 11:43 PM

I think the quote box should be like a more subtle color like a light gray or something, the white is kind of blinding in contrast with the black scheme. IDK just my .02

Ditto. I've been meaning to bring this up as a friend made mention of it to me today also (GTO guy, don't think he signed up).

I'd do it myself but I won't play with the skin that I'm not familiar with.

Shouldn't be hard. Just get the Hex code for that grey and that white and search your quick reply box code for it in your template file(s).

Hmm you mean the color of this box above? I can't exactly darken it that much without affecting the visibility of text. There are actually 2 images that load, so I'd have to re-color the image. Not that it's hard but is it that big of deal kind of thing.

it's been a while, i'd have to look at a vbulliten skin to know for sure.

It's your call man, I just personally think it looks ugly. But my opinion is just me so...

What looks ugly about it? Maybe I can spruce it up a little bit. If it's the color, I'm not going to be able to change it. It's just too much work for even a slightly darker color. Both templates use this quote box and the mod doesn't support different boxes for different styles. It would basically be a ton of work to make it look good on both.

I actually thought it looked pretty good.

normally a quote box is actually darker than the normal background. I dont like the white at all either. Id say make it black with white or light grey text.

The quote box doesn't blend in with the skin. I'm using the default black skin. The 'background' of the quote is like gray, with the actual quote box being white.

See the tip of the arrow? Shouldn't that be black so you only can view the quote box?
