    Sidebar Enhancement

    sidebar-index.png sidebar-index-hover.png


    Summary: Another enhancement to go with the monstrosity green series (as seen in attachment enhancements) this alters the sidebar block visuals on the forumhome and members page. If you were so inclined you could implement the same styling in the sidebar blocks in the profile. Not my thing personally but some people may get a use and you always have the option to adjust to create other colours (bare in mind you'll have to create the gradient image to your colour preference in a graphics editor)

    Install: Upload sidebar-gradient.png into your /gradients folder and paste the following css into your Extra.css template. (Screenshots Below)

    Code:
    .sidebar .secondaryContent {
        background: url("@imagePath/xenforo/gradients/sidebar-gradient.png") repeat-x scroll center bottom #83B842 ;
        border: 1px solid #468000 ;
        border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
        box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) inset, 0 0 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) inset, 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
        padding: 10px;
    }
    .sidebar h3, .sidebar h3 a  {
        color: #366200 !important;
        font: bold 12px/14px Arial,sans-serif;
        text-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent, 0 -1px 0 #b5d191;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #507D19 !important;
        box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #91BE59;
    }
     
    .sidebar h3 a:hover {
        text-decoration: none !important;
        opacity: 0.5;
    }
     
    .sidebar .pairsJustified dt, .sidebar .section .secondaryContent .footnote, .sidebar .section .secondaryContent .minorHeading, .sidebar .avatarList  .userTitle{
        color: #f1ffdf;
        font:  11px/11px !important;
        text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #4a8107;
    }
     
    .sidebar .username, .sidebar .pairsJustified dd {
        color: #ffeca0 !important;
    }
     
    .sidebar .avatar img, sidebar .avatar .img.s {
        border: 1px solid #468000 ;
    }

    Correct it goes in the /gradients folder. Have you a link to the style so I can check if it's still not displaying?

    It was my style i was using. It had already had some edits to the extra.css which was throwing everything past it off. Your edits are perfect as always.
