Changing the screen colours

Was that using the stylish add-on? I did that quite a while ago but haven't updated or checked it for ages so I don't imagine it still works for the new market views.

I'll have a look now.

Yes I think so, stylish rings a bell

The stylish script collection that I published that to is down so I'm recreating it now. I'll give you a shout when I have it. I was rather fond of the blue and screen too.

OK thanks Larry, will keep a lookout

First you'll need to install the Firefox addon, Stylish from:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

I've just whipped up this script for the old blue and green:
-- START AFTER THIS --
@-moz-document domain(betfair.com) {

div#marketContainer, div#bm, div#allMarketsTreeContainer
{ background-color: rgb(210,210,210) !important ; }

table#runnerTable tr.runner td.b1,
th.backHeader,
td.pressedBack div.buttonAppearance,
thead.back
{ background-color: rgb(140,140,250) !important ; }

tbody.back
{ background-color: rgb(180,180,250) !important ; }

table#runnerTable tr.runner td.l1,
th.layHeader,
td.pressedLay div.buttonAppearance,
thead.lay
{ background-color: rgb(128,200,128) !important ; }

tbody.lay
{ background-color: rgb(170,230,170) !important ; }
}
-- END BEFORE THIS --

Let me know if you need help getting this script into Stylish.

Thanks Larry, that's great.

Oh - it's just occurred to me this is only a solution for newer markets. Old style markets (asian handicap, total goals...) will need a bit more. I'm doing that now.

And here's the version that copes with old and new market views:

I've put in some comments so you can play around with the RGB values with a bit of confidence.

-- START BELOW THIS --
@-moz-document domain(betfair.com) {

/* Grey for market/menu background */
div#marketContainer,
div#bm,
div#allMarketsTreeContainer,
div#MVContentWrapper,
div#MVHeaderWrapper
{ background-color: rgb(220,220,220) !important ; }

/* Standard back colour for buttons and headings */
table#runnerTable tr.runner td.b1,
th.backHeader,
td.pressedBack div.buttonAppearance,
thead.back,
td#MVHeaderBackCell,
td.MVContentBack1stResting,
td.MVContentBack1stDepressed,
tr.MVHeaderBackBoldedHeader
{ background-color: rgb(140,140,250) !important ; }

/* Lighter back colour for bet manager bets */
tbody.back,
.BMBackBetBackground
{ background-color: rgb(180,180,250) !important ; }

/* Standard lay colour for buttons and headings */
table#runnerTable tr.runner td.l1,
th.layHeader,
td.pressedLay div.buttonAppearance,
thead.lay,
td#MVHeaderLayCell,
td.MVContentLay1stResting,
td.MVContentLay1stDepressed,
tr.MVHeaderLayBoldedHeader
{ background-color: rgb(128,200,128) !important ; }

/* Lighter lay colour for bet manager bets */
tbody.lay,
.BMLayBetBackground
{ background-color: rgb(170,230,170) !important ; }

}
-- STOP ABOVE THIS --

Larry, never used this kind of stuff before, what do you do with the above code?

From memory, from the Stylish menu (right click on the little Stylish icon at the bottom of the window), choose Write, choose a name and paste the code in.

Cheers!

Cheers for that :0 . . .yep I'm taking the pea...I only learned how to switch on the Laptop :D seriously tho is there no layman's term for the likes of Ash to change it, my eyes are so sore I've had to go purple...Nothing like ''Click on the big button under the number 7 or something like that'' cos I'd learn Chinese quicker then understand what Larry wrote :(

1) Make sure you're browsing using Firefox.
2) Install the stylish add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 . Click on the "Add to Firefox" button.This allows you to have a bank of scripts to tailor individual websites.
3) After restarting Firefox you should see an extra icon near the bottom right of the browser window, in the status bar. It looks like a little paintbrush over a page. Click on that to bring up the menu, then choose Write Style, Blank Style...
4) Put a description, like Betfair Eye Saver, in the description box.
5) Copy everything from the previous post between but not including the --- START BELOW THIS --- and --- STOP ABOVE THIS ---, and paste it into the big empty box.
6) Hit Save.

You are done. If you want to go back and tinker with the colours choose Manage Styles... from the icon menu, then select your script and hit edit.

For the life of me Larry i cant find no wee paintbrush chappie. I better wait till someone intelligent comes to visit me and maybe they can help me :) Cheers anyway thanks.

Is your status bar turned off? From the Firefox menu choose View, and see if there's a tick next to Status Bar. If not, click on it.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle there's the little chap right down the bottom corner of the screen...kick on Gypsy King ...Kick on...be back in a mo to let you know :)

Done all that Larry and its still a blinding white :(

How about this:

Go to this page: http://userstyles.org/styles/3177

If you've already got Stylish installed just hit the button "Load Into Stylish", then hit "Save" on the pop-up box.

Thank you very much Larry thats much better, now we can play on without going blind :)

Glad you eventually got sorted out. When I get a bit of time I'll add the graduations, because I think they looked nice.

Then in IE Tools, Internet Options, Accessibility, tick Format document using my style sheet, and then browse to your new file.

Larry the very chap, you that's going to be young scientist of the year :) , I cant read the forum when I'm logged in. I tried it on three different PCs and at three different locations so its not something that's wrong with my p.c. or my i.p. Addy . .its something your end ;) . .**it for me please :p . .When i log in its just a blank screen when i go on the Forums. All its got is TOPICS..CREATED BY...LAST POSTS ...POST..Then all the Forums down the side and Blank then in the middle..its a bit of a pain having to go around the houses thru Fred just to ask a Question then having to log out to read it...Its perfect when I'm logged out its just when i log in it goes blank. I do appreciate the time your wasting on me :D

thx works grerat in IE so much better than white on the eyes!!

Lawrence are you ignoring me. :(

Only so when I do give you attention you feel extra special!

Let me answer when my head's feeling more professional. :)

You take your time auld son. Hope the hangover was worth it.

In your own time :|

Hi, I should point out that we're not a helpdesk and only get involved with Labs products, not production releases or issues. However, you've piqued my interest with your intriguing problem!

A few questions/clarifications:

2) Which browser are you using? Have you tried a different one?
3) Have you make any of the stylesheet/colour changes discussed in this thread?
4) When logged in can you see your own chatname in the heading area?

1) So you can post ok? That is, ash hight punter is not an account posting the problem on behalf of someone else?

No its me its the only account i ever had and its never been suspended or anything like trhat.



2) Which browser are you using? Have you tried a different one?

I have ysed bot I.E. and Mozzila

Jeez for someone that doesnt drink or smoke that's deplorable

Write out 100 times '' i must learn how to spell Yes & Both :)

Larry, the problem is with the forum software. Like most forums this forum has user preference settings for things like "number of posts per page" and "number of threads per page" but this current forum skin doesn't give users access to those preference settings. For some reason those two settings occasionally get set to zero. This means that the forum appears to work when the user is logged-out but when logged-in (and therefore personalised) the user sees zero threads and zero posts.

no rush Lar :0 . . hello fred77 ..only for you ;)

Thanks for the steer, Fred77, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm actually on hols at the moment (and all next week, so don't expect fast replies from me!), so I've dropped a note to someone who maintains the forum asking if he can clear it without you having to go through the helpdesk.

Yep. I too posted a message to one of the guys who looks after the forum this morning, to have a look into this. Sorry about the late posting !

Holidays :0 Jeeez larry your overpaid and underworkd ..imo... Your either out on the tear or on Holidays :) .. Njoy.

Lol. I'd *like* to say the snapshot of my life that you've seen is unrepresentative..

Dm dee dum dum....No hurry.

Hmm.. let me give the forum guys a nudge again, and maybe check they're not on their hol's too ! (tis the season...)

Absolutely no rush :0

Thank you Larry and Co ...It works i can now read and reply to the forum when logged in . . .Thank you and now ye can go back to your holidays :)

Cheers. I nudged them this morning and was told they were resetting the forum which should**your problem. I didn't want to say anything until it was done as there was no definite promise of when it would happen. I'm pleased you're back up and running.

Is there an easy way to change the colours of the forum posts
in order to more easily distinguish between those that I have
read already and those that have a new posting?

I was thinking blue and black are not easy to distinguish whereas
blue/green or green/red would be.

try this
