When I saw this I couldn't resist. Installing right now, I was in need for this for so long...

Thanks for sharing.

Edited: Installed, changes some colors on CSS to match my board and it's perfect.

I've tested on 3.8.1 with no issues... Can you give me any more information? Is it reproducible? Is it in all forums? If you disable my Plug-In, what happens? If you disable all other plug-ins, what happens?

PM me a URL and I can half a look at what is happening.

Hi Sorky, is there any way for me to edit a template to change just the colour of the tital text of the announcment ?
Reason i ask within your mod i can change everything else except this and the dilema i have is on our site we use a dark & light skin and i cant get the background colour right for them both, as soon as i get the light skin looking ok [which is our main default skin] the tital text in the dark skin is same colour as background colour and carnt be seen.

Oh and we running (vBulletin 3.8.1)

Example-Dark Skin:




Example-Light Skin:

Check these options...

1. "Cell (td) Formatting for the Announcement title"... class="MyAnnouncementTitleStyle"
2. "Enter your CSS here"... .MyAnnouncementTitleStyle{...}

No probs... I'm no expert on "skins" - are they the same as "styles"?

You still use this...
"Cell (td) Formatting for the Announcement title"... class="MyAnnouncementTitleStyle"

But you put the CSS in the "Skin/Style", so that the CSS changes based on the "Skin/Style" ;-)

Thanks for your help so far, and yea "skins" / "styles" meen the same its just a differant way of pronouncing it and my spelling aint that good
