    I see how to change background color, text color, border color but not the progress bar with transition value.

    It’s too fast to see the code on console

    I see this in “element style” :

    transition: width 5450ms linear 0s, background-color 5450ms ease-in 0s;
    

    But I don’t no what to do with this

    @downpw Seems like it’s contained in this block

    62ca02ad-f55a-42bb-84b5-0d38b3d765a8-image.png

    <div id="alert_button_1643376464937" class="alert alert-dismissable alert-success clearfix animate" component="toaster/toast" timeoutid="172" style="transition: width 5450ms linear 0s, background-color 5450ms ease-in 0s;">
    	<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">×</button>

    For info, you can actually pause the execution of Javascript as follows

    1. Open Developer tools, Go to Sources tab and keep it ready

    2. Now, go back and perform the actions on the App to get it to the state where it needs to be frozen.

    3. Click on the ‘Pause Script Execution’ button (first button in the list of buttons on the right corner of Sources tab) to pause the page.

    This will force the debugger to pause the execution, meaning you’ll see the below

    This will then allow you to expose the elements you need 🙂

    @phenomlab

    Yeah I test that and I find and modify these code :

    .alert-window .alert {
    
        background-color: black;
        color: aqua;
    }
    
    .alert-window .alert.alert-success {
        color: aqua;
        border-color: aqua;
    }
    
    .alert-window .alert.animate.alert-success::before {
        background-color: red !important;
    }
    
    .alert-window .alert.animate::before {
        width: calc(100% + 50px);
    }
    

    For example, what i want here are just have animate progress bar on red but doesn’t work, she’s black.

    Only me 😄

    I’ll have a look this weekend to see if I can identify the js class but I do think this is based off another CSS value and an alpha rgba used as an overlay.

  • @phenomlab

    .alert-window .alert.animate.alert-success::before {
        background-color: red !important;
    }
    

    I have test with white background and It seems to work.
    But the red come at the middle/end (maybe a settings CSS transition) :

    alt text

    But with black background, the red is here (we see it at the end) we see nothing at all.

    Seems the background overall the animate effect :

    alt text

    @downpw I’ve a feeling this night be related to z-index. Try setting with a high value, as this will force the animation to the front.

  • possible to delete border radius at the bottom left and right ?

    9355af8d-d9bf-40d6-abeb-84bc4e95387e-image.png

    Just border radius at the top of the first div and at the last Div bottom ?
    I would like a entirely bloc with four border radius

    Possible ?
    I play with .categories>li, .category>ul>li but it’s not what I want

    I would like to move chat bubbles and WYSIWYG at the left bottom if it’s possible, I tetst with this bit it’s not perfect :

    .taskbar .navbar-nav {
        padding-right: 1840px;
        padding-bottom: 15px;
        position: relative;
        bottom: 25px !important;
    }
    

    Thanks for your help in advance Mark 🙂

    @DownPW Definitely possible, yes. This will work

    .categories>li, .category>ul>li {
        border-radius: 0px;
    }
    .categories>li:first-of-type {
        border-top-left-radius: 4px;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px;
    }
    .categories>li:last-of-type {
        border-bottom-left-radius: 4px;
        border-bottom-right-radius: 4px;
    }
    

    Looks like this

    80e68c63-7289-4153-aac8-52a92816074a-image.png

    You could then close the gaps between if you really wanted it as one block

    .categories>li, .category>ul>li {
        border: none;
        margin-top: 0px;
        background: #F5F5F5;
    }
    

    That gives you

    .taskbar .navbar-nav {
        padding-right: 1840px;
        padding-bottom: 15px;
        position: relative;
        bottom: 25px !important;
    }
    

    I had not found this property by inspecting the code!! I wonder where you found that one 🙂

    I just added left and bottom space :

    .taskbar.navbar-fixed-bottom {
        right: auto;
        left: 10px;
        bottom: 25px;
    }
    

    RESULT:
    111bb445-d4ca-401e-a620-692b23e37f62-image.png

    Much better with footbar !
    This also allows you to leave the right side quiet already occupied by the paging block !

    Thanks my friend 😉

    @DownPW that won’t work unless you add a font family to go with it - any Unicode characters typically require an associated font family. Try adding

    font-family: "font awesome 5 free"; to the CSS you already have.

    I have test this :

    [component="topic/header"] span.timeago:before {
        content: "\f1c0";

        margin-right: 5px;
        margin-left: 5px;
        color: black;
    }

    @DownPW does it work if you change it to
    Font Awesome 5 Free ? Might need to access your site directly to test this as it works for mine and should also work for you.

    One last thing you can try is adding the below into the CSS class - sometimes needed as the FA5 free icons are solid only, therefore may require

    font-weight: 900;

    Let me know how you get on

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler! EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS .upvoted i { color: var(--bs-user-level) !important; } This then yields [image: 1718028529465-3f072f8a-ebfa-4910-8723-73c493b8e4eb-image.png] However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?)

    @Panda It’s the best it’s ever been to be honest. I’ve used a myriad of systems in the past - most notably, WordPress, and then Flarum (which for SEO, was absolutely dire - they never even had SEO out of the box, and relied on a third party extension to do it), and NodeBB easily fares the best - see below example https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asudonix.org&oq=site%3Asudonix.org&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i58j69i60l2.9039j0j3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1 However, this was not without significant effort on my part once I’d migrated from COM to ORG - see below posts https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17286/google-crawl-error-after-site-migration/17?_=1688461250365 And also https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/221027803?hl=en&msgid=221464164 It was painful to say the least - as it turns out, there was an issue in NodeBB core that prevented spiders from getting to content, which as far as I understand, is now fixed. SEO in itself is a dark art - a black box that nobody really fully understands, and it’s essentially going to boil down to one thing - “content”. Google’s algorithm for indexing has also changed dramatically over the years. They only now crawl content that has value, so if it believes that your site has nothing to offer, it will simply skip it.

    @cagatay this relates to a change the css classes used for the brand header meaning it will now float to the left instead of right. If you’d like to retain the original behavior, you can add this css class [data-widget-area="brand-header"] { justify-content: end; display: flex; } Further information here https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17090/manual-build-a-custom-header-in-harmony/19?_=1684069325296

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
