Title: Shoutbox style change
Post by: Dumke on January 30, 2015, 09:26:20 AM: Hi, i was fiddling with the shoutbox with inspect element, since i didn't really know how or want to fiddle with the actual files.
and I got the chat looking like something i'd like to use,

but not sure how i would implement that,
I think this is right spot to ask for this.

I would think so, but where, which?

So, it's not totally easy to use inspect element to find where to edit, when remember that that only shows ALL the css, and not individual css files. ;)

Themes/default/css
portal.css

Post by: Burke Knight on February 03, 2015, 05:31:17 PM: What????

What I said, does not mean that.
What I said, is, it makes it HARDER to find what to edit.

Post by: ♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ on February 03, 2015, 05:32:34 PM: Yeah, to me it makes it so much easier @_@ I don't get where the hard part is ;D
EDIT: If you mean that you can't see the file path well it shows me the file path both on Firefox and Maxthon...

Separating them into files is only out of convenience, because CSS is read top to bottom when included.

Post by: ♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ on February 04, 2015, 08:26:10 PM: Well in this case they are only 2 so it sounds good to me :) Maxthon is quite cool for some things and kinda sucks for others, depends on individual's needs I guess. Personally I love its features but I also hate it when it freezes for quite many seconds and refuses to answer until... It just kicks back in randomly :| Except that it's cool :)

Dat username... Number one :D it's been a very long while since you posted last time... So.... Somehow welcome back on your own forum :)

I've been using Chrome for a while now and haven't bothered much with other browsers. Guess I grew old and only like the thing that "works" for me.

I might be the first user on the forum but it's far from mine lol.

Thanks for the replies anyhow.
