Would it be possible to change the dominant green color on the site to Cardinal red?

I could try to find a red style out there, but for now, I only have this S-B dark and the default blue style.

I think this is what he's talking about:

I'll look later and see if I can find it. (Odds are against me)

That link doesn't work (I copy/pasted it from the address bar!) so try this one, then choose Old School BOTB from the dropdown menu:

That appears to be a custom style made by that board. I'll see what I can do to accomodate you, but I can't promise anything.

Some people might not like Cardinal Red...And I would be one of them...

Nothing against the Cards (a fine organization)...Just don't really like the color red...

Kyle's car is red.

(Red flames coming out from under the hood, red flames coming off the flattened tires, red sparks shooting off of the concrete wall, red face on his crew chief, red necks on his fans, well you get the point.)

I'd make it a selectable style, much like we have right now.

Some like the default blue style, and some like the dark style.

The owner of that site owns his own company which designs software for a living, and hosts his site on his own T1 connection in his basement.
So it's entirely possible that he made that style.

I could ask him, but I wouldn't blame him if he told me to get screwed. He is a pretty good guy though.

You don't have to ask him. From what it looks like, I'd just have to tinker with the colors to get a scheme like that one, since it appears to be similar to the default style.

Either way, I will see what other styles are out there in that scheme.

Y'all are using html color charts?

If so, have you tryed D60000 or AD0000 ( both are RED colors ) as the color for the back ground or space, boarder, horizontal lines?

Just a thought, as most programs have the color charts built in.

After looking at the source code You could change this an some other stuff and get what you want. Now mind you it has been awhile since I wrote code. But like all programs you can still add to and take away, even if you have to add a string. Kind of like breaking into games and stuff to play it your way.
I know a lot of work. :eek:
But I do like what y'all have done in such a short time. I know adding my 2 cents where y'all have been doing such a good job on this board.
Not wanting to step on no toes here mind you.

Can read the head lines now: First post to get kicked off the new board.

Thanks Pony, I just wish I knew what all that meant. My partner does, he's smarter than me in the ways of the computer.

All that would do is change the background. To create a new style, I'd have to go through all of the attributes as well as edit icons and things like that. I'm not saying I can't do it, it's just that I'd need some time to either get it done or find an already existing style.

Sully can you get to the code here or is it a tinplate type?

If you can then Change this code font:

11px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.time
{
color: #99CC33; to FF0000 and try and see if it would change the page lay out. I think this is the green bar and then turn it red.
It may save you some work.

or more gray hairs than I have.

I am going to run a test and see if it will work off line on a web page builder by taking the source code from here and see.

Who knows it maybe a short cut or a total flop. :mad:

Will post back if it works in the test mode.
