Can the background colour of ZM console be changed ? Solved

[EyeEye]

Hi all

First let me say thankyou for zoneminder, i think its great.

Now for my question,
Is it possible to change the background colour of the ZM console, and if so what file/files do i need to edit. ?

Searching the forum has not given any pointers, so i post this in the hope someone may be able to help

Thanks in advance

May not be what you want, but if you open it in an iframe, it will be the color specified on the page. I have a default page on the website that opens ZM in an iframe just to make everything clean.

/usr/share/zoneminder/zm_html_styles.css handles a lot of the output; I use it to customize the link colors. If you add a "body" entry you might end up changing the background on all the pages, so if you want something console specific, you'll need to do more searching in /usr/share/zoneminder. But that's where all the files are.

Sorry mate, but that has gone right over my head im afraid to say thankyou anyway for responding.

Sorry, i should have made myself clearer

When i said ZM console i was speaking broadly,
what i meant was ALL of the windows that pop up via the links from the main page.

So i tried doing the above by adding this:

Code: Select all

	body {
		color: #E2ECEC;
	}

to the top of the code in zm_html_styles.css, to no avail.

Is this what you meant,
or is it completely wrong (i dont understand this stuff)

Please could you give the proper code i would need to enter

Again thankyou both

Ok

i think i now have it sorted.

I added the following in both zm_html_styles.css and zm_xhtml_styles.css

Code: Select all

body {
	background-color: #E2ECEC;
}

That seems to have done the trick, all windows have the new background colour. . . .

Thanks all
