Hi!

Serendipity is OpenSource, so yes. We appreciate contributions.

You don't need to change the plugin for that. It's all CSS that controls the appearance of bbcodes. Have a look at the HTML output where the HTML classes are used, you can then style those elements via CSS in your template's style.css file.

Best regards,

Ah ok, but the answer is not better for me as a webprogramming idiot
but i understand ist, mostly

So just allow me to ask another question:
Where ist the currently used style stored ? or can i edit the things from the templates folder ?

Hi!

You must edit the files in the templates/XXX/style.css - where 'XXX' stands for your currently selected template. Like 'carl_contest' for the Serendipity 3.0 template, which is used by default.

In there you can add things like

Code: Select all

.bb-code {
  background-color: red;
}

HTH,
