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.

Brian.
