Changing quote-style in comments

Hi out there!
I really dislike the style of quotes in comments. You know, these grey boxes with C64-like fonts. But I don't know where to change the css for this? Has anyone a hint for me?

Check the style.css for serendipity_comment. It (or something like it) should have the styles you want to change.
You'll find the file in the templates/ directory, under a directory for the template you're using. If you're using the default Serendipity template, it's in default/.

I'm very sorry, but I can't find the parameters in the style.css. It looks the same for all templates I choosed.

You must look for a CSS definition to the "blockquote" element. This is responsible for it.
You might be using the "layout: quote markup" plugin? Because this is emitting the styles. You can either override them in your style.css, or uninstall the plugin and take care of your own CSS markupt for that.
Best regards,

i think hokey is using bbcode plugin. it gave me just the same ugly effects. the solution is simple.
hokey, edit your theme's style.css file and add these two style declarations:
Code: Select all
.bb-code-title {
put your style definitions here, it's a container
holding all quote stuff
}
.bb-code {
it's a definition of quoted stuff. style it as you like.
for example you can put something like that:
font-style: italic;
}
it works just fine for my template. i wanted to show you a working example but something's with my server right now :/
