Obviously, there are plenty of additional colors you may use.
But this will help you when choosing.
Now it's time for the more complicated stuff.
I will NOT give any explanations on why this is done.
I will only give basic instructions which you might want to follow exactly. (In other words: don't bother trying to ask why or how it works.)
-----------------------------
When you're making your own Voy Forum, the silver tuna is being able to distinguish comments separately from the background.
In other words: You don't want the entire page to be the same exact color.
IT would be much preferable to define a foreground.
So, please follow these steps:
GO TO
Advanced User Controls
General
now, scroll down past date format, banning, Index,
AND GO TO:
ADVANCED FORUM CSS & TABLE-STYLE SETTINGS
--------------------------------------
go past
Forum Style
Page Background Color
Normal Text Color
Visited Link Color
Active link color
URL to background
Table Layout (CHOOSE #2 CLEAN)
Force Message Tables to 100% (Check YES)
scroll past CSS (cascading style sheet
Go all the way to
COMPACT & SUPERCOMPACT MODES ONLY
Now, copy these options exactly
-------------------------------------------------
Row of Header Titles: (You can leave this line blank)
Title 1 (ie. Subject/TD tag): chd
Title 2 (ie. Author/TD tag): chd
Title 3 (ie. Date/TD tag): chd
Title 4 (ie. MsgCounts/TD tag): chd
Row for Message (TR tag): c1
Area 1 (ie. subject/TD tag): ...blank
Area 2 (ie. author/TD tag): ....blank
Area 3 (ie. date/TD tag): ..you can leave blank
Area 4 (ie. msgcounts/TD tag) :...blank
Doing this enables your Thread headlines to have its own color.
Now,
please repeat these sequences WITHOUT asking questions.
Where it says
GLOBAL/other
------
Message Tables: ... (leave blank)
Message Table Borders: cb
Post-box Tables: cp
Post-box Table Borders: cb
Message View - Top : chd
Message View - Left: c1
Message View - Right : c2
Area saying "Replies": c2
Area saying "Replies": c2
Doing this enables your reply-section to create its own color. Wow.
Now, your forum starts to take on a professional appearance.
In other words,
Not only can you change the color of your forum headline,
but, the responses will have yet another color.
Of course, you should be careful, because some sequences might look terrible, of course.
SO, keep them typical.
For example:
If you choose an orange Title of thead,
then,
you should choose a lighter orange (or darker orange) response.
But, that's quite obvious.
