Colour customisation of fonts
-
Re: Feature requests for the user blogs
I like the way I can customise my blog here and very much beyond what is available would be tantamount to vandalism.
However, it would be nice to change font colours as required as well as the background. So could we have an additional setting for this, please?
-
I agree that white is not always the best, but I find your blog very hard to read with grey text on black. The contrast is just not sufficient.
I soften the pages of my Vivaldi Review page with an off-white background image.
Have you tried with a grey background or a soft tone colour?
-
@pesala The problem is that you can't set font colors. Everyone with a dark background has the grey unreadable text. I have reported this before, it's unusable. They said that themes would come out that have the option, although I don't understand how you can keep themes that don't have the option. Anyway, nothing has happened so far.
-
@luetage I meant that one should choose a custom colour for the background that was not white, but a soft tone colour like turquoise or primose yellow, then the black text will be legible, but without a bright white background.
I tried, but did not see any change in the published blog. The background is still white.

Well, officially, you can't, but you can bypass it...
See my "Hello World" blog: https://nfsmaniac.vivaldi.net
No client-side CSS, no Developer Tools overrides, pure Wordpress (almost).
But may I tell you my little secret?
(What if they block it after publication? Even if I don't see reason why.) -
@nfsmaniac Hey, just tell us, I don't think anyone will mess up your blog if you do. I read your "hello world" post, but it doesn't explain how to add custom css to the blog, going to appearance/customize doesn't give the option.
-
@luetage Yep, the only thing I can add are the WXR tools(?) while the CSS editors are plugins which seems not implemented by v-blogs. Same for other WP themes.
-
To use @nfsmaniac's "hack" you have to use any other theme than "Venice", I'll leave the rest for you to figure it out.
-
@luetage Oh, man, you make my day! You have really read the "draft" posts generated by Wordpress
This draft post is here to show you what your posts will look like and to give you a few tips on getting started. Feel free to edit it, delete it or keep it saved as a draft for reference later.
and then saying me I don't need to worry, because you are not planning mess with my blog?
@pafflick Seems like you have figured it out! So (compared to others that are cold as a dog's snout and wants everything immediately as they whistle) you have a point!
But OK, I will reveal it to you... later...
-
@nfsmaniac Yeah, it took me like 10 minutes to figure it out and I've spent the first 9 minutes trying to do this entirely on my own, but since "Venice" was my default template, I failed. So I went to your blog and from there, it took me only about a minute to actually figure it out.
-
@pafflick And was it hard?
After reading this topic yesterday, including some intial failures it took me in total about 10 minutes aswell to find the right "vulnerability" which allows me to override the CSS.So initially, it can seem to be a little tricky, but at the end it's quite easy. But if nobody figure it out, I am going to fulfill my promise.
-
@nfsmaniac The point is I don't care enough about it to invest time. I really dislike the wordpress platform. If your pseudo "hack" makes you happy that's fine.
This topic was started because we can't set font color on themes. That's still true and Vivaldi should do something about it for everyone. Why you are replying with your "method" is anyones guess. But as said, not my problem.
edit: and yeah, please keep it to yourself, it's better that way, you changed my mind, so thank you for that
-
@luetage Maybe one day you will learn that time spent at cognition is one of the best possible spendings of time.
Being petulant is not the key to move to a level up. And even not a signal to help you.
Try to think about it, then come back and I will gladly reveal it to you.I don't want to keep it for myself and it's definitely not better.
