    Hello @phenomlab

    I have a dropdown menu with manu different left icons and I want to align vertically the <a> text
    I don’t know why I can’t do it. Fatigue maybe? 🙂

    Here the code of my menu :

    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary"></i>&nbsp; Règlements</a></li> 
    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper"></i>&nbsp; Annonces</a></li> 
    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Team</a></li> 
    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Tutoriels</a></li> 
    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Bug Report</a></li> 
    <li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Wiki</a></li>
    

    Resut :

    @DownPW You’ll need to restructure the HTML first - don’t use nbsp; - you should always use margin or padding 🙂 Also, you are using the same ID multiple times which will cause you problems with markup as it is not unique.

    Try this

    <li><a class="menubrand dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary menubrand"></i>Team</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary menubrand"></i>Tutoriels</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary menubrand"></i>Bug Report</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary menubrand"></i>Wiki</a></li>
    

    Then use this CSS

    i.menubrand {
        max-width: 25px;
        width: 25px;
        margin-right: 10px;
        text-align: center;
        vertical-align: middle;
    }
    

    Should give you this

    hmmm ok I will test asap thanks 😉
    Why have you the second icon with no colors : odd no ?

  • wrote on last edited by DownPW

    Edit :

    Ok, find the problem, second line have no text-primary and the first line have a different a class.

    – Better like this I think :

    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper text-primary menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary menubrand"></i>Team</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary menubrand"></i>Tutoriels</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary menubrand"></i>Bug Report</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary menubrand"></i>Wiki</a></li>
    

    Thank you my friend

    Just this bug.

    How can I change the icon color of the active page? as you can see, the icon is not visible when we are on the selected page
    I don’t want to change background active primary color but for example change icon to white like the text or other color

    @DownPW I just checked this, and it looks as though you are using using a transparent colour to work around the hover issue?

    Not at all 🙂
    The problem occurs on the left sidebar but not in the Brand menu.

    @DownPW This is what I see in the left side bar. I am using the Metallic theme?

    You must have a cache problem because the CSS is not even active on your image 😉

    The problem appears on the current page and not the hover

    For example, use the menu to go to the Rules page. Once on the rules page, reuse the menu to see the bug

    @DownPW I see it in an incognito session - looks like I’ve got some browser related issues 😕

    00df3417-3292-40d9-b030-231d63982c24-image.png

    So it’s not hover, but :active

    I’d ne inclined to use transparency here as it’s much less effort

    .dropdown-item.active, .dropdown-item:active {
        --bs-dropdown-link-active-bg: #b9babe38;
    }
    

    That will give you (for this swatch at least)

  • wrote on last edited by DownPW

    Yes thnaks it’s a solution but is there another way? Like targeting icons when the dropdown is active rather than changing the background because I already use --bs-dropdown-link-active-bg elsewhere

    Otherwise we can cheat by changing the color of the icons at any time but I find it less good.

    maybe change html for add specific class

    It’s just a question, I can eventually satisfy myself with this solution

    @DownPW Try this

    a.active i {
        color: #ffffff!important;
    }

    @DownPW there shouldn’t be - it’s a fairly specific target, but if you do experience odd behaviour, let me know.

  • wrote on last edited by DownPW

    Hello mark,

    I would like to change the appearance of deleted messages in topics but I can’t find the target or the component.

    image.png

    For example, opacity or left timeline color of the deleted post

    And I would like the same things for deleted topics

    Hard to find these component or class !

    Thanks 🙂

    @crazycells it is, yes - I think I’ll leave it as there is no specific PWA CSS classes I know of. Well, you could use something like the below, but this means multiple CSS files for different operating systems. /** * Determine the mobile operating system. * This function returns one of 'iOS', 'Android', 'Windows Phone', or 'unknown'. * * @returns {String} */ function getMobileOperatingSystem() { var userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera; // Windows Phone must come first because its UA also contains "Android" if (/windows phone/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Windows Phone"; } if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Android"; } if (/iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(userAgent) && !window.MSStream) { return "iOS"; } return "unknown"; // return “Android” - one should either handle the unknown or fallback to a specific platform, let’s say Android } Once you’re in that rabbit hole, it’s impossible to get out of it.
