I need help changing the chat font color on the toolbar | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Development » Custom Code Modifications

I am trying to change the font color for the ajaxim on the top toolbar, without effecting the other places using the same CSS.... (see pic)

I went into the base CSS and changed .ow_txt_value to WHITE, but that caused other places on the website to be white also.

So i created a new CSS rule called .ow_txt_value2 for just the chat toolbar font.
But, the only place i found to point to that new CSS rule is at 2 places in \ow_plugins\ajaxim\views\components\toolbar.html

I made the change, uploaded that file, but nothing happened. Still the chat font color is black and pulling from the original .ow_txt_value

What am i missing here? I completely stumped now after 3 hours...

Did you enabled DEV_MODE in ow_includes/config.php file?

Before you implement any css/html changes, you have to enable DEV_MODE in ow_includes/config.php file. This mode actives a cache rebuilding.

Oh my :\

I've made some changes without that.

This mode should be activated before any changes in other way your changes will not be applied

Kinda along the same lines of this. What changes in what files would i need to make in order for this to read IM, and not Chat?

Willow, thats an easy one...

In your admin area, goto... Settings--->Language
Then in the dropdown menu on that page, select INSTANT CHAT
it's in there somewhere with text value of {text key='ajaxim+chat'}
