joie 4 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 try this for the comments entry box and text color (white) of the comments entry box input[type="text"], input[type="password"], textarea, #dsq-content textarea { background-color: transparent; color: #FFFFFF; } try this for reply .comment-body{ background-color: transparent; } 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted July 22, 2011 Joie, Thanks for the reply. The code for the comments box worked great. The code for the reply box didn't go so well. If I use Firebug and highlight the box and then change the code to transparent it works. But I can't make sense of what I'm looking at. I included a screen shot to show you what I'm looking at: reply comments screen shot Thanks! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted July 23, 2011 Oops. That didn't quite do it. Apparently that will only effect the first reply to a comment. Check out the comments on this page. http://www.nickrbrown.com/net-policy/new-fcc-seal-gets-wires-crossed/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catrina 103 Report post Posted July 24, 2011 Ah, it doesn't change the children comments. Here is code you can add: ul.children li#comment li.comment.byuser {background-color: transparent;} Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to.

thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 This is still not working for me with threaded comments. Take a look: http://www.nickrbrown.com/politicians/total-lack-of-faith-in-gop-after-cnn-debat/#comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue522 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 You want to get rid of the white background, yes? Right now it is only firing on the even posts, because of code in the dynamic.css file (line 78) and the style.css file (line 120). To override the style issue, .commentlist ul.children .even { background: transparent; } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted October 20, 2011 Seems to have fixed the child thread background, but now the odd parent posts are white background after a threaded comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catrina 103 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Right now (from what I see) all comment backgrounds are transparent. Please read the docs before posting.

blue522 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 That is a persistent snippet. Add: .commentlist .alt { background: transparent; } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 That fixed all the comments, but that seems to now make even reply comments have a white text entry box rather than a transparent text box. Since my font color is white that means the commentor can't see what they write. One solution creates another problem, huh? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny+ 1,327 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Add this and see if it does the trick! [code] .commentlist ul.children .even, .alt #commentform textarea { background-color: transparent; } [/code] Please search our forums, before posting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelobbyist 4 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 That did it. Thanks! Now if I can just figure out why buddpress is crashing after the update. Think all the links have gone bad. May have to reinstall it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
