Colors in FAE Control Panel don't respect installed theme.

Hi all,

it's me again.
I install FAE choosing Edge Dark and Mountain Meadow color scheme...
Installation went right, but when I go to the color tab of FAE control Panel I can see that the default color scheme is set.
This makes very difficult for me to edit just a little parts of the color scheme of my choosing (because basically I can't see the real colors).

Is this a bug or by design?



Thanks!!!

Hi @Sting,

Unfortunately it's difficult to get the default colors of a theme without identifiers, so by default the colors tab shows the initial theme for Forumactif Edge unless of course you've modified the colors in this tab. Any changes you make in the colors tab will persist though, so you don't have to worry about your changes disappearing. It's general purpose is to allow you to create a full customized theme.

Understood!

But does the color tab works only with the minimal stylesheet?
Because I installed my theme with the full stylesheet option and the changes that I do within the Colors tab are not applyed/saved.

Hi again,

Sadly the stylesheet on our forums has a character limit, as a result if we exceed this limit any additional code we try to apply to the stylesheet wont be applied. If you're experiencing this issue I would recommend keeping an unminified version of your stylesheet on your desktop for editing, and minify the stylesheet on the forum.

Just a side note, but if you do this, do not minify the special code applied via the FAE control panel, such as colors and general settings. They contain special comments which the control panel reads to remember your settings, minifying the CSS will remove the comments.
