people using black font on the meant to be black skin

[the wombats]

since you refused to change the black VIP back to normal on non-habbo skin. anychance of making it so when people use black font it displays white? it's annoying needing to highlight it to read it sometimes....

[Plank]

yeh i agree

[Axel]

And some people use white font when it's hard for people for people to read on habbo skins... it's pointless when the font comes out white on non habbo skin and black on habbo skin anyway...

[the wombats]

it's harder to read when it's not bolded...

Sadly, thats not phyiscally possible. Unless someone knows a way (which I don't) then we can't deal with it atm :(. I would have love to be able to change it so the black text turns out white or even grey.

Thanks

I have asked before and they said its not possible ;).

[Mr.Sam]

can you not add a option for the user to see default text with out any effects or w/e

[Smiddy]

Is there a way of just disabling certain font colours?

[brandon]

Yeah it's well annoying, MrLore does it and he knows we can't see it but he's too immature to stop it.

[the wombats]

actually there is sir. ;)

[nvrspk4]

Or just change the background to a shade of gray?

[---MAD---]

I actually never thought of using the variable replacements. I was thinking of css only. I guess the vBulletin staff member I asked thought the same way I did.

I will give the way the other vB staff suggested to you a go sometime soon.

Yay for Craig!! :D

yeah i tested it on a different forum first before telling you, coz i never knew if it was BB code or HTML you had to replace.

[uh huh her]

can we change it back please? i preferred my usertitle being black and not white. and don't tell me to "CHANGE DA SKIN DEN" cos i can choose which skin i want, and if people are blind and can't see black writing on a GREY background, they should be the ones to change the skin.

:@ i never thought of usertitles. o knows. it's harder to read black in the posts bit rather than the info bit. so erm. o dear. idno...

[darkchicken101]

I think I've discovered a work around. -test-

Yeah, instead of [color="black"], use [color="#000000"].

[today]

tbh i'll use this then! [:

[Mentor]

Im slightly confused, if people choose to write in black, you want to convert it to white on a certain skin?
that kinda defeates the point of colour selection after all often people set the colour of text to the same as the background to hide it "/

But if you did want to, you could do it in just css? easyest in firefox (maybe ie with luck, no garentees since it doesnt even fully support css2)where you just use a little bit of css's conditional seclectors power....

Say for the dark skin a code like this would do it, since the code makeing it black to start with is "<font color="Black">"
you would use

font[color="black"] { color: white; }

font being the eliment and whats between the [] is the condition it checks for, aka it applys the css to any font tage containing the color="black" text.

More info about it can be found from w3 here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html

tbh i' dont see why we cant write in black 'cus its the BLACK skin 'n well so what? You should convert other text colours which you cant see on other skins such as 'Grey font' should be black or white.

Gotta make it ALL fair or NONE at all..

i'm guessing it's matt? if they don't convert the text colour then the vip colour should be changed back. otherwise habbox are stupid ***** who are after our ******* money. end of.

Yup it is [:

Read my post pls. [:

[the wombats]

ok. if you remove the thing so that people's font colour changed to white then you should remove the thing that changes black VIP's names to grey.

[today]

Its unfair only doing one skin colour changer, what about space skin, 'grey font' ? ect.

Its stupid! Highlighting the text takes seconds, so remvoe the stupid code.. I mean i sitll type in black now [:

yeah but your just being awkward. so stop taking the ******* ****. anyway if mad removes the code for text colour. then i want the vip colour one removed.

Thats my middle name tho o.O Though if they do remvoe the black code, they should offer you compenstation for changing VIP colours, or give you the amount of black VIP onto your current.. Ect.

Though doubt they are that nice. :rolleyes:

[uh huh her]

they should remove the black code AND the grey names for black vip members. you CAN see the black font colour, and it's just awkward people who have to pick at little things complaining they "can't see it".

[the wombats]

i've got a better idea so everyone is happy. why not just add another non-habbo skin where it shows font as white instead of black with black VIPs black instead of grey. and do whatever amy said with this one.

'Cus they can just remvoe the code on THIS one.

Who suggested the damn code?

[samsaBEAR]

you can see the black if its in larger writing, like your anem is when you have VIP
so i say change the VIP grey code to black, but keep the black to white one for the forum

[uh huh her]

oh, and if you do keep this thing. what if someone's colourblind? and they can't see one of the font colours on one of the other skins where it's brownish, would you change it then cos "they're unable to read it properly"?

[the wombats]

i did. live with it. if they do it with the vip name colour, then why not the text colour?

[Earthquake]

just highlight black text :rolleyes:

[the wombats]

just highlight black text :rolleyes:

no.... shouldn't need to if they changed the black vip to a lighter colour.

[Plank]

haven't they already made it so black text comes up as white?

[Earthquake]

no.... shouldn't need to if they changed the black vip to a lighter colour.
but it is black vip.. thats what they bought it for ''black vip''

[the wombats]

but it is black vip.. thats what they bought it for ''black vip''

yes but admins made it a lighter colour.

[Earthquake]

then ask them to make it black not white then

[brandon]

omg my usertitle

[the wombats]

then ask them to make it black not white then

make what black? the vip or text? coz the vip is grey and the text is white.

[lick me]

using the hex code instead of putting "black" in the font colour bit doesn't work. ;S

[darkchicken101]

Why are people allowed to use yellow on the light coloured skins? That is much more illegible

It did when I first did it. test

COLOR="#000001" works, but Mad'll probably get mad and stop that from working as well.

[darkchicken101]

Yeah, you can keep changing them so you could have #100000, #010000 etc. Mad will eventually get tired of changing them all.

I only changed "#000000" because in some cases (ie the faq) we use that instead of black so it didn't work on it.

I hate it myself, tbh. Stop giving us features then removing them, havent you heard of TESTING?

I know you've got another forum to test styles on, why the HELL didnt you see something like this.

Forgodsake get some decent 'beta testers'. And as everyone said, it takes TWO seconds to highlight and you can STILL see all text clear. In the FAQ change what black text there was to grey or what ever, and remove the damn css code. "/

Its just making everything worse.

Why not just use black in the FAQ? :S

[today]

Why not just use black in the FAQ? :S
'As you "wouldnt be able to see it" therefor black is changed to white. Though as i said in the FAQ just change 'black' to ganother colour which is visable on all styles. :)

[paws]

Why are Habbox quick to change Black V.I.P. colour for the non-habbo skin, but can't do what we are asking for, here? :rolleyes:

[Hippacrocabear]

I just dont see why people dont use the default. I can never be botherd to change the fonts and crud.

[Colin-Roberts]

or just make another non habbo skin thats not black..

[Poky]

Yep i agree.
change it!

'Erm yeah, anyhow any update MAD? change code back?
