Thats good, but if you have black nawbar then the normall pm links not show.

skybule theme,, there are "white" links.

[Fire-Fox]

Then replace with some color that match the theme

[cisco007]

yes oliver replace this #FF0000 with whichever color you want!

[Oliver]

We need a different code skyblue theme. Where do I put this code, then it does not become a private message to the entire region is not displayed on a black background. In this style comes standard with white links. If I switch to that color of what you said so, it seems only arrived of detail in the message.




That my original code.. Style is Skyblue...

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a  class="white" href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

try this:

Code: Select all

                   <!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG or PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD --> &nbsp;<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style=" color: #FF0000;"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF --></a>
                        <!-- ELSE --> &nbsp;<a class="white" href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" ><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a><!-- ENDIF -->
