@jac Not sure which type of blue you want, but you could do it with this
.topic .posts .content blockquote {
font-size: 12px;
color: #ffffff;
}
blockquote {
font-size: inherit;
border-left: 5px solid #194F90;
background: #194F90;
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0 auto 40px;
padding: 15px;
position: relative;
}
blockquote:after {
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
border-top: 20px solid #194F90;
bottom: -20px;
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
}
Essentially, you’d be modifying the previous block I provided, and forcing white on .topic .posts .content blockquote
Essentially, you’ll land up with this
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate, is that just on quotes?
@jac yes

I like the look of that, either that or a yellow.
Would you be able to share the code for that at all Mark?

Looking to change the font & number of read posts.
Looking to change this to blue white a white font and then as the posts are read it changes to yellow?
Is this something that is possible? I seem to remember it working out well on the last installation.
Many thanks.

Maybe something like that for the titles?
Thanks as always.

@jac Do you have anything in mind for the body font ? I recall last time we used Poppins (which happens to be the fine used here)

Although the bottom colour is a little dark for County still looked great

I’ll have to have a look, I remember yes. Looks great, although I’m mindful of copying.
@jac No issues. It’s really just a font 
️
Thanks for providing the screenshots. This is useful. I’ll get to this ASAP.

Many thanks Mark,
As previously discussed I know you don’t want things copying although the reason I ask for the changes to be replicated as they are great ideas and improve the design etc.
@phenomlab said in NodeBB customisation:

Not a problem
@jac thanks. Again, taking ideas from this site is in fact encouraged (and I’ll happily provide code and CSS to help anyone achieve that) but a complete replica isn’t very creative, and generally, not permitted without prior consent.
In fact, I’m considering writing a blog post on how to create a decent layout and colour scheme for a website, which will include hints, tips, tricks, etc - essentially, all the things I’ve learned over the years which remain key to this day when creating a website.

Many thanks, sounds like a good idea mate definitely!
The issue surrounding copying your site theme etc is absolutely understable, although for me I’ll 100% say that a few bits of css code changes and the plain theme is no more.
I think generally I’d never have achieved the simplest CSS change or known how to do or without the code shared earlier which I thank you for and of course hope to learn myself through the planned blog post.

I don’t mind if you want to make the changes under ‘phenomlab’ or if you want to post the code here and then I can add it into the code.
Many thanks
Hope the decorating is going well .
