NodeBB customisation

What I want is where the title is to be blue in the background, with white font?

And then I thought well this will clash with the menu bar that is also blue so I don’t know whether it can be done but maybe a yellow line to separate the menu and the article title?

Many thanks.

@jac I’m not so sure about this

It’s too much blue (my opinion). I’d do this

.topic-title {
    font-weight: 300 !important;
}
 
.topic [component="post/header"] {
    margin-top: 0;
    background: #ffc557;
    color: #00205c;
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
}

It’s in keeping with the club colours, and will look like this

As for the blue one, would that look any better with the blue info block removed at all? Or is it still too much?

Many thanks mate

@jac I think it’s too much because of the header being the same colour. A blue of they shade will only work if there is something in between it. It’s made much worse as the thread gets longer.

When the page is scrolled, the title is set to sticky meaning that it’s always visible at the top of the screen. This means the colour is never out of view and is then dominant.

The yellow is a better choice as it’s not being used anywhere else in the thread and as a result won’t look overdone.

Thanks for the advice mate, no I agree the yellow would be a better choice definitely. I’ll apply now.

Applied mate, looks great, thank you very much. Is there a way to change the titles to bold at all?

Many thanks as always mate. Don’t forget the Phenomlab footer .

Yes - just remove this block

.topic-title {
    font-weight: 300 !important;
}

Still going with the little changes here and there, so many thanks for the continued support .

@jac No problems. I’ll close this thread as soon as we’re done. It currently exists as a showcase for how you’ve modified your NodeBB install to get it to look how you desire. This would then serve as a guide for others looking to go down the same rabbit hole.

Thanks Mark, I’ll apply this when I can.

As for the tags in the screenshot are they generally big or it is the screenshot that is playing tricks? .

They’re big. I noticed that. It’s because of the tags page we recently changed to get the Stockport colour layout. Use this to fix it

.tag-list .tag {
    height: 26px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    margin-left: 5px;
}

Many thanks mate, that has fixed the issue .
