Background colour as an option for text?

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 10:57 am

I just included a spoiler in a post to one of the gaming forums. As I always have done, I put it in black font with a warning to highlight in order to read.

The thing is, you can still more or less see black text on the new background. Would it be at all possible to provide a colour option for text that closely matches the background colour?

Not a big deal, obviously, just curious

I remember Ik held the secret to that once, and he stole it from someone else. Unable to help myself, I stole it from then, but it seems I've lost it.

However, I should be able to find it, I'll do a quick hunt now.

SUCCESS!

#201D17 is a close colour code... not sure how you'll remember that though, that's your job

EDIT: Having re-read your post, I've realised this really wasn't what you wanted... rather, a button.

Perhaps a

Spoiler

tag could be implemented, so that way, it could be set up to keep the

, and colour the text, making it much easier.

I had stolen it from Ik as well, but ti doesnt work anymore, spoiler text would be nice though, make it a lot easier to keep people from accidently readint something they dont want to.

Alright, I just implemented a new BB code to allow spoiler information to be hidden. Now, you can use use the word "spoiler" in between standard BB code brackets at the beginning of the text you want to hide. This will give it a font color of #201D17, which should make the text transparent without highlighting it. Just don't forget to use the closing code!

Excellent, though I do believe I know of one member who may abuse this in his subliminal messaging.

It might not be a bad idea to begin a thread in SYM?

Though, my connection is fading in and out, so I'll leave that to you
