Another newbb2 drop down menu question - Colour?

Hi.

First off I am sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I have searched and I have not found an answer.

The closest thing I found was in this thread but it refers to parts that are not in my newbb.css file AND it appears that the post is on about newbb2 rc3 I guess a few things may have changed since then.
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25283&forum=32&post_id=110443#forumpost110443

I want to change the background colour on the drop down menus.

I can change the colour of the button, I can change one of the colours of the drop down menu, but the other colour is really light and I can not find it in the newbb.css file.

The colour is a light grey, I am pretty sure that the newbb.css file contains NO greay colour at all now, so either I missed one or this part of the menu is getting its colour info from a different file.

I see it is not impossible as I have seen loads of XOOPS sites that have managed to change the colours of the menus.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

If you use Firefox for your browser See this Faq Page for an excellent tool to find out what classes and selectors control what parts of a page.

If you don't use Firefox......use it for this tool.

Thanks for the info.

Ok looking at the page with the tool you mentioned it looks like the color I wanted to change is in the main css style sheet for my theme - which is why I guess that other peoples forums (menus) have a different look.

It seems odd to me that I can change forum menu specifics like link colour and 'button' colours but I can't change the colour of the actual drop down menu itself unless I want to modify the main theme.

Well I don't want to change anything else in the theme so I have settled for changing the text colours on the menu to make them appear to be connected to the rest of the theme.

I suppose if it bothers me enough I could perhaps make a new class in the newbb.css file and use that for the menus??

As it is I am happy enough to leave it.

Dave

EDIT:

for your info I am pretty sure this is where you change the colour of the background on those drop down menus:
.head
{
    
font-weightbold;
    
background-repeatrepeat-x;
    
background-positionleft;
    
color#373737;
    
height24px;
    
line-height22px;
    
text-aligncenter;
    [
b]background-color#DFE2E6;[/b]
}

Which is in the css file in your theme folder. (not the newbb folder)
