I've inherited an older version of sqwebmail which I'm leery of
upgrading until I get a little more familiar with it. It gets very
little usage, but there is one problem I'd like to fix: the menu bars
in the message display page are dark blue text on a black background
- almost impossible to read. The color choices everywhere else are
fine, but this one page is causing some complaints from a couple of
users. I've hunted around and I can't seem to find any background
color settings of #000000 in the sqwebmail.css or anywhere else.
Anyone else have this problem and possibly a solution ?
Suggestion: use "view HTML source" in your browser. Locate the offending
HTML snippet. See if it has a hardcoded colour like "#000080", or a CSS
style.
If it's a hardcoded colour then grep for it in the templates directory
(where it's easy to change), and if not there then in the C source code for
your particular version (where changing would require a recompile)
With old versions of sqwebmail certainly some colours were hardcoded rather
than CSS, but I couldn't say which ones and where.
Also, note that if you change the colour of parts of the page where there
are rounded rectangles, the colours of the corners may no longer match. But
changing the text colour to give a better contrast should be fine, or you
can change the .gif/.png corner images.
