Is there a way to change the color and buttons color at the very top of oxwall? If so how? Thank you.

Bobby Brown, you can do it by using the CSS code modifications. Go to the Admin Area>Appearance>Edit Theme>CSS tab and paste this code:  

.ow_site_panel .ow_console_body { background-color: your color; }

.ow_site_panel .ow_console_body .ow_console_item { background: your color; }

.OW_ConsoleItemContent .ow_tooltip .ow_tooltip .ow_tooltip_body { background-color: your color; }


Once the changes are made don't forget to clear the browser cache.

I've tried that method the whole bar across the top is still the same color besides the right icons in top right corner. Check it out www.gymradio.org

Bobby Brown, the CSS code modifications depend on the site theme. Using the Firebug and the ..Edit Theme>CSS tab interface is the best way to make CSS code modifications.  In your case try to using this CSS code.

.ow_site_panel { background-color: your color; }

.ow_site_panel .ow_console .ow_console_body  { background: your color; }

.ow_site_panel .ow_console .ow_console_body .ow_console_item  { background-color: your color; }

Try using:

.ow_tooltip .ow_tooltip_body
{    background-color: #color_code_here}

Note: this will change the color everywhere where the.ow_tooltip .ow_tooltip_body class is used at.


Sample of how this will look like. I used yellow color.

You might also need to edit following css because #2c4a7c  is way too dark and you can't see the text on hover:

ul.ow_console_dropdown .ow_console_dropdown_cont a:hover {    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #2c4a7c;    border: 1px solid #000000;    border-radius: 2px;}

Hello Oxwall Tips!

Thanks for you're continued in support in helping making our Media Network the best! I have figured it out~ YAY :d Take a look. Also Is there a way to create a custom sign in or custom sign up page and make it like the default page that is landed on?

Kind Regards,

Bobby Brown

Looks great!

With regards custom sign in page I see 3 ways around.

1. Close your site to guest users in Admin Panel >> Privacy and Permissions >> Global Privacy. This way whenever anybody opens your domain name sign in page will be opened.

You then will need to edit some CSS and .html related to sign in page to make it look more attractive.

Note: you won't be able to show widgets that are currently visible on your main page in your sign in page. Overall your current main page will be accessible only by loged in users.

2. Developing a plugin, which will create a custom page where you can add a sign in form. By placing your new plugin's menu item to the first place in Admin Panel >> Pages and Menus >> Pages and menus>> you will be able to make a sign in page landing one.

Benefit of plugin development is that you won't have to close your site from guest users.

3. Check the Store. I am aware of several plugins for a landing page: http://www.oxwall.org/store/search/plugin?q=landing
 
Easiest way is of course #3. Just get  a plugin.
The most difficult is #2.
#1 is somewhat in the middle. Doesn't require complex modifications, but you must have basic css and html skills.
