change the text "open panel"

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Christina,

The code I provided will change the panel trigger text not any text inside the panel when it's activated. Sorry if I misled you.

What I mean by "options in ZGF4" is when you open up the template's adimin panel (ZGF4 control panel) go to the left list of "options" and pick "Theme" and then from the resulting top horizontal menu list pick "Hidden Panel" you will get options to change the appearance of the panel itself. But the bottom two options "Panel trigger background color" and "Panel trigger text" refer to the trigger you see on each web site page that, when clicked" will open the Hidden Panel.

You are changing values and saving and those values reset to previous settings?

Is that the issue currently?

No not really

First (after I installed the template update) I changed the values for the colours a few times, because I thougt that those colours in the template admin was how to change the text and background colours in the panel (on frontpage)

Short after I found out that the colours had changed in the popup insteed, they where all messed upp. The dark blue background and a bit lighter blue text. And now I can't change it back.

Yes all the settings in the hidden panel section.
I just noticed, when I tried to change again, this error. Look at the attached..
It just stays on the screen a second, I was quick to print screen :-)

I the css file maybe?

Yes it did Paul :)
I mean the button. I think it is difficult to read, when the button is so tiny, it's got big capitals and with the white text.
So I thougt if the text got better it might help.

What values are you looking to change?

.open-panel {font-size: 90%;}

For example this is the current font size so you would increase this to 100% or more to make it bigger

Try adding

#menu ul > li {line-height: 38px;}

For the line height of the link as there is a distance between the panel and the menu

Thank you Paul, now it is much clearly. Actually I meant the text colour :) I tried to change in the template.css but didn't work, do you have a small tag for that too ?

It was this bit I suggested

.open-panel {
color: #fff;
}

You just need to replace #fff with your colour value e.g. #000 for black

Hi Christina,

You shouldn't modify the template.css file as that will be overwritten when you change the values in the admin area.

The custom.css file loads after the template.css file and will override it. You custom.css file currently has the lines:
.open-panel {
color: #fff;
}

which will override anything added to the template file. Try changing the value there.

Regards,

Rob

Your right Rob, I shouldn't do that, I reversed the change I made, and added the tag in my custom file and it works :)
