Question How To Change Shout Tab's Background Color?

[Antec]

I have two different skins for my forum. I have a light one on for my default, but I also have a dark skin that my users can choose from as well. My issue is with the Tab background colors on the "Shoutbox", "Active Users", "Notifications" and "System Messages".

While everything looks great on my light "white & blue" skin, my dark skin has a white background and very light coloring on the above mentioned tabs making them unreadable unless you hover them with your mouse or click on them. Once clicked on they match the background color of the skin just fine.

Is there a way I can fix this?

@Aantec open your dbtech_vbshout_colours.css template in the style you want.

Find this line:
.formcontrols .blockrow .dbtech_shouts .dbtech_vbshout_tabs.alt2 {
background:{vb:stylevar control_background};

And change :{vb:stylevar control_background}; to this line, background: #00FF00;

You can set any color you want by changing 00FF00 to something else

Exactly what Ozzy said, yeah

Thank you Ozzy...that worked perfectly. But One modification I used to perfectly match the rest of the site I used the following:

I found This:

.formcontrols .blockrow .dbtech_shouts .dbtech_vbshout_tabs.alt2 {
        background:{vb:stylevar control_background};
}

And Replaced It With The PostBit Colors So It Would Match Nicely:

.formcontrols .blockrow .dbtech_shouts .dbtech_vbshout_tabs.alt2 {
	background:{vb:stylevar postbit_background.backgroundColor};
}

Yeah that works too, it is calling to the same stylevar as your postbit background!!
