Post colours that work with this forum

I think there's something you can edit to change the settings on the color selector. I don't know where it is at the moment, but I can tell you how to make all the "New" images appear to the left of the topic titles so that they are all lined up and easy to read:

open Themes\template name (default if file is missing)\MessageIndex.template.php
Go to lines 221-227
They should appear like so:

Code:

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a>';

Make it like this:

Code:

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a>';

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';

It's nothing real complex, your just moving a few lines of code around.

[EDIT]
Okay, I found out how to fix the colors.

Open Themes\template name (default if file is missing)\Post.template.php
Go to line 828

Code:

// Print a drop down list for all the colors we allow!
if (!isset($context['disabled_tags']['color']))
echo ' <select onchange="surroundText(\'[color=\' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.toLowerCase() + \']\', \'[/color]\', document.forms.', $context['post_form'], '.', $context['post_box_name'], '); this.selectedIndex = 0; document.forms.', $context['post_form'], '.', $context['post_box_name'], '.focus(document.forms.', $context['post_form'], '.', $context['post_box_name'], '.caretPos);" style="margin-bottom: 1ex;">
<option value="" selected="selected">', $txt['change_color'], '</option>
<option value="Black">', $txt[262], '</option>
<option value="Red">', $txt[263], '</option>
<option value="Yellow">', $txt[264], '</option>
<option value="Pink">', $txt[265], '</option>
<option value="Green">', $txt[266], '</option>
<option value="Orange">', $txt[267], '</option>
<option value="Purple">', $txt[268], '</option>
<option value="Blue">', $txt[269], '</option>
<option value="Beige">', $txt[270], '</option>
<option value="Brown">', $txt[271], '</option>
<option value="Teal">', $txt[272], '</option>
<option value="Navy">', $txt[273], '</option>
<option value="Maroon">', $txt[274], '</option>
<option value="LimeGreen">', $txt[275], '</option>
</select>';
echo '<br />';

Just change the values from the color name to a color code, ex: <option value='"#000000">
You can copy existing option tags and paste them for more color options. You can rename them by removing ', $txt[###], ' and type in the color in its place, or you can add more variables to the $txt array located in Languages/Post.english.php
