I'm trying to do some customization in the theme's colors and noticed that some changes can be made through the advforum css, and some remain under the control of the main theme's css (in my case, Newsflash).

What I've seen so far:
The forum header background color, the forum table border and the td borders can be changed with advforum css.
The table background color is not affected by advforum css but can be changed by the Newsflash css file.

#forum td.container {
background-color: #2788C5;
color: white;

Should give a blue backgound, but it remains grey as in the original Newsflash, and can be changed to any other color through the Newsflash css.

If there is a difference of styles for an element, your theme's style.css will win because it is loaded last. I temporarily changed the Garland on my dev site to Green and the only thing I lost was the links. So it's pretty good with Garland. But that's going to vary from theme to theme depending on what styles are defined.

OK!
Good to know.
That the modification has to occur in Newsflash or in advforum doesn't make any difference.
I just didn't know what the priority was.

Thanks!

I don't think there's any more I can do on this issue. The theme's CSS will always override advforum's.
