different text color within a text page

orkrious · August 5, 2013

I set up a unique page to hold text.

The color of this text is set in the theme.

I'd like to have a paragraph on this page to have a different text color.

If I put an HTML command within the text box, like this "<font color="2cb3d1">", the page just shows the command as text.

Can you help?

Thanks!

I answered your similar question over here. Did it work?

<p style="font-size:14px; color:#fff;">Here is some text about me. Would you like to <span style="color: #ff0000">Contact Me</span></p>

Thanks for posting this. I was also curious about how to make my text a different color.

I'm surprised that there was no way to change the color using the GUI. SmugMug, are you planning on adding this functionality? You can change size and justification but not font or color without adding your own HTML?

your suggestion doesn't work for me. I tried to copy and paste what I put on the page. it is putting in a lot more code. this is what the copy and paste looks like:

<p style="color:2cb3d1">Note that the online proofing gallery is only active for two weeks from the time you receive the link. There is a $40 charge to reactivate it. </p>

Changing the color and size of text ingallery Description Boxes
I was able to carry over by previous CSS code for changing the size and color of text. But this only worked in the Gallery Description boxes.

In the theme css box I added:

/*Fonts Formatting for Gallery Descriptions*/
.myTitle {
font-family: Arial, verdana;
font-size: 150%;
color: #447799;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto 30px auto; /* top right bottom left */
}
.myText {
font-family: Arial, verdana;
font-size: 100%;
color: #999999;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: justify;
text-indent:25px;
}

and then in the Gallery Settings description I would reference above like this:

<div class="myTitle">
O. Coleoptera - Beetles
</div>
<div class="myText">
<p> </p>
<p> Beetles are in the order Coleoptera, the largest insect order. Most adults have a hard or leathery wing covers known as elytra that meet in a straight line down the middle. </p>
</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>

This example can be seen here:

I was unable to get this to work within a page text box. So I am also interested in a simpler way like this for text pages rather than long html.

Also does anyone know how to modify the large "Folders" and "Galleries" that appear on a page and/or know how to just get rid of the headings and group both the Folders and Galleries together with out the gap like the old smugmug?

Here is an example of the labels and split grouping I do not like:

While I'm at it, Does anyone know
1) If the captions on a slideshow page can be moved to the top of an image (like on my home page I would prefer the captions at the top)

2) How to make a slideshow page start from a random image in the gallery so visitors don't always see the first image

3) And for the regular slideshow you get to from the Galleries, is there a way to show the caption like the slideshow page style does?

4) I noticed that on my Recent Uploads Page the slideshow button is limited to showing only 20 pictures before it repeats: http://www.margygreen.com/Recent-Uploads

Sorry to add these non related slideshow questions to this forum.

You'll have to add an HTML box. You can put your CSS in the "CSS" tab of the HTML content block, and you can put your HTML in the HTML section. Then move the HTML content block where you want it.

Remove the individual "Folders", "Galleries" and "Pages" blocks and instead drop in a "Folders, Galleries and Pages" block. Note that there's a subtle difference. Right now you have 3 content blocks, 1 for folders, 1 for galleries and 1 for pages. There's a special one that has all 3 in the name, ... this one groups them together. Also, there's a section in the Tools for each content block (the little wrench) that lets you put in the title text. Delete that to get rid of the headings.

Don't think those are possible at this time.
