Survey theme/template: Vanilla, Bootswatch or Fruity
==================
HI! 
I have recently updated LimeSurvey to 6.5.2 version and my theme templates are no longer usable. I need to change the background colour of the "navbar", "navbar-brand", "question.title/valid" elements (the background colour of the question text), but using the codes and actions from previous versions is not working. E.G.:

Theme editor --> Custom.css/Theme.css: ".navbar .navbar-brand { background-color: #FFFFFF }

Do you know what codes I can use to change the background colour of these elements in the "Vanilla", "bootswatch" or "fruity" themes? Where should I insert them?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Mª Ángeles.

Hi,
investigate with the webdevelopmemnt tool of your browser (F12)

To chnage the background color generally you may set the color

Dear Joffm,

thank's for your quick reply! But I don't think the solution has worked. I saved the code in both the "custom.css" and "theme.css" screens and it didn't change the colour of the ".navbar" or the ".navbar-brand". With F12 I have not been able to locate the colour either and the most I have been able to do is to "patch" the colour in the bar. What I managed to change was to search for "navbar" and add the code " background-color: #6b8e23; "... Do you think you could help me to know how to change the colour of the whole bar?Other alternatives that I have tried and that worked in previous versions, but in this 6.5.2 are not working:".navbar-default { background-color: #3c3c3c; }".navbar {Background-color: #6b8e23;}.navbar .navbar-brand {Colour: #6b8e23;Background-color: #6b8e23;}.navbar .navbar-brand:hover,.navbar .navbar-brand:focus {Colour: #FFFFFFFF;Background-color: #6b8e23;} "In the Vanilla theme I did manage to change the background-colour of the title of the question. I'm attaching a screenshot of what happened with the ".navbar" and the theme for what it's worth.

Thank's, again!   

When I open the webdevelopment tool
I see this (in theme "bootswatch")
 
As you see the background color is set to "maroon.

Now when you investigate the navbar you see that here the class ".bg-light" is affected
 

Adding both to the "custom.css"
 

 

Or you address the navbar and other elements directly like


to get this
 

I do not see a real issue.


And at the beginning you showed "bootswatch". But now you talk about "vanilla".
Ths is different.
As you will find out the "question-title-container" has no added class "bg-primary". So you have to set the container's background color.


And fruity might be different as well.
Often you have to specify it, like
.fruity .bg-light {..

So investigate and try.

Hello, Joffm!

Now I have been able to adjust the background colours I needed. Thank you very much!
