Quick Reply box & text colour change

Can someone please point me to where UBB keeps the quicky reply box code? I need to change the background colour (and text inside the box) to something other than white. On a board with darker background colour, the white really hits the eyes hard every time you scroll to the bottom of the page.

Anyway, I think that editing the style of the Quick Reply box should be in the CP under Styles... it makes sense. Something to add in the future release.

In your public_topic_page.pl file.

I think this is it in 6.7.1:

hmmm.. that could probably be termed a bug, if it doesn't inherit styles from the forum.

Try:
Find:

Code

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="50" wrap="virtual"></textarea>

Replace with:

Code

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="50" wrap="virtual" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #111111; color: #EEEEEE;"></textarea>

change #111111 to the background color and #EEEEEE to the text color.
If you want it to have a background image, try to add to the 'style':

Code

background: url(http://www.url.com/image.gif);

Thanks LK, you're a gem. Works like a charm. As far as I'm concerned, a mod can rename this one and move it into finished hacks, I'm sure it'll come in handy to other people.

ahem,

Code

<style type="text/css">
textarea {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; 
background-color: #111111;
color: #EEEEEE;
}
</style>

would allow you to not edit templates, allowing you to still recieve support from Infopop

Which would be helpful, had I not 3 or 4 other hacks in public_topic_page.pl alone already.
