yeah css gets me evrytime dont know why

maybe i should let it go^^

so back to topic the topic links are not working as i want...

i see with firebug this when i watch the "topic name link"

.topic_name h4 a {
color: #43a8da;
}
.topic_name h4 a {
font-weight: bold;
}
a, a:link, a:visited, a.new_win:link, a.new_win:visited {
color: #008299;
text-decoration: none;
}
a, a:link, a:visited, a.new_win:link, a.new_win:visited {
color: #008299;
text-decoration: none;

i use the Be Social standart theme to work with...
as i see there are active classes for the "topic name" part... maybe some of this holds me on?

i tried so far to change that in the coustom.css and in the be social custom.css but it dosent works...
i have tried to change the color of the ".topic name" for all boards generaly that works.

Thanks for the tip; it worked great using the font awesome icons. (see attached image)

Any way to be able to add other types of icon images though? I tried uploading images to my directory and nothing. Here is the code I was trying to use if it helps (basically just added the image path to the code you already provided)-

Code: [Select]

#board_4 .board_icon:before {
   background-image: url(../../images/_besocial/newicon.png);
   position: relative;
   top: 5px;
   font-size: 2.7em;
   opacity: 0.8;
   text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #555;
}

Hir br360 and welcome to ElkArte..

I feel the path to the background image is wrong.. it's currently

Code: [Select]

background-image: url(../../images/_besocial/newicon.png);

but it should be

Code: [Select]

background-image: url(../images/_besocial/newicon.png);

Thanks @TE - tried that code but it didn't work either. Still shows blank where the icon should be. Pretty sure the path is correct and the image is in the right folder; just not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you though.

is your newicon.png a single image or a sprite with all states?

something like this should work should work for a single image, reagarding the status (on, on2, off)

Code: [Select]

#board_2 .board_icon {
   background: url('../../images/_besocial/newicon.png') no-repeat;
}

It was just a single image; and that code worked great @TE , thank you.

I tried to colorize the board names as @TE described in the very first post of this thread. It works fine. But it only works with board titles, not with subboard titles and thread titles.

Is there a way to colorize all titles (board, subboards, threads) inside a category?

Code: [Select]

#category_6 {
	color: white;
	background-color: #666;
	text-shadow: none;
}

That changes not the text, only the small space between the boards.

@Jorin look here. With the addon Firebug for Firefox i find just about everything in a Theme. Is a good tool for Theme Designer.

I know such tools, but they don't help in this case.
