    So actually after research I was using as this was used in old core code.

    By removing the “Filter” directive it works for the black background on the hover of the close button: cool !!

    But for the color of the cross icon itself (In fact it is not an icon but an image) it is black for light themes, no problem but it remains black for dark themes so it becomes invisible !!!

    So here is my solution :

    .btn-close {
      background: var(--bs-node-btn-close-bg) !important;
    }
    
    • for light theme:
    --bs-node-btn-close-bg: transparent url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23000'%3e%3cpath d='M.293.293a1 1 0 0 1 1.414 0L8 6.586 14.293.293a1 1 0 1 1 1.414 1.414L9.414 8l6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414 1.414L8 9.414l-6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414-1.414L6.586 8 .293 1.707a1 1 0 0 1 0-1.414z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e") center/1em auto no-repeat;

    @DownPW heh, that also needs some js to make that work.

    Edit - add this js block

    function addAuthorBadge() {
      $(".topic-owner-post").each(function() {
        var $authorElement = $(this).find(".text-nowrap:first");
        
        // Check if the author badge already exists
        if (!$authorElement.find(".author").length) {
          // Prepend the author element
          $authorElement.append("<span class='author' data-toggle='tooltip' data-placement='left' title='Topic Author'><span class='author-icon'><i class='fa-regular fa-message-quote'></i></span>");
          // Add tooltip on hover
          $authorElement.find(".author").tooltip({
            content: "Topic Author",
            track: true // This enables the tooltip to track the mouse movement
          });
        }
      });
    }
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });

    Hello,

    I just changed my smartphone (OnePlus 12R) and I see this which I cannot resolve.

    the central body is offset and is not centered on the smartphone. (production server)

    Any idea to solve this??

    @DownPW yes, I too see this on your production site. Typically, this is because of one element that is oversized and causing the entire body to shift.

    Unfortunately, it’s a slow process in terms of finding the culprit, but I’ll have a more detailed look later.

    OK Thank you. Logo I guess


    I also noticed that the "answer "button on my DEV platform following the new update is quite large but I can’t find the right CSS target to correct it.

    Can you help me with that too?

    Sort of.

    You can stop most of the overflow with the below CSS

    body {
        overflow-x: hidden;
        max-width: 100%;
    }
    

    Add the above to the existing body class you have.

    For the remainder, it’s much easier to see where elements burst outside of their boundaries by using the global CSS below, which will draw a border around every single element - effectively, making it much easier to see

    * {
    outline: 1px solid red;
    }
    

    This then yields the below

    8a917031-91c0-4852-bd92-35cb2aa3fbd7-image.png

    As you can clearly see, the additional navigation buttons you have are flowing outside of their allowed space, which causes the body to expand to accommodate the new size. This produces the undesired effect of scrolling on the entire body.

    Then, look at the class of

    [data-widget-area=brand-header] {
        justify-content: end;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    If you remove display: flex; from this class, the icons are then stacked vertically, and the problem resolves itself. However, this looks ugly. A better way of getting closer to the result you want is to resize the logo

    [component="brand/logo"] {
        max-height: 100px;
        width: auto;
        height: 75px;
        margin-top: -1px;
        height: 45px; 
    }
    

    Here, we’ve dropped the image size from 75px to 45px, which in turn pulls the expanded DIV back into line

    1a9413d9-4403-4da5-b12c-df6919f96157-image.png

    The problem we then have is the site title, but can easily fix that with the below CSS

    @media (max-width: 768px) {
        a.text-truncate.align-self-stretch.align-items-center.d-flex h1 {
            height: 55px;
        }
    }
    

    This then yields

    240a4f8b-f193-4508-973a-62e64dae573e-image.png

    Everything now aligns correctly, and more importantly, the scrolling body is no more.

    Yes, of course. You can target the component directly for that

    [component="topic/quickreply/button"] {
       height 45px;
    }

    Hello @phenomlab

    I come back here with a little problem.

    I created a donation button in the custom footbar that works well.

    It looks like this with the following code:

    9285dbef-db03-4449-bbdb-ee2caf37d4ef-image.png

    <div id="floatright">
    
    <div class="d-flex justify-content-center mt-2 mb-2">
        <a href="https://ko-fi.com/K3K519RHI6" 
           class="btn btn-primary d-flex align-items-center btn-donation" 
           target="_blank">
            <img src="https://storage.ko-fi.com/cdn/logomarkLogo.png" 
                 alt="Icône café" class="me-2">
            Faire un don
        </a>
    </div>
    
    <a class="feedback-menu-far-right" target="_blank" href="/politique">Politique&nbsp;</a> 
    
    ...
    

    However, as soon as I go to a profile page, the users page, the group page, it is broken like this :

    1f63eaac-ad88-44c7-8d80-24a9096701da-image.png

    possible to see it on production server

    Any idea to resolve this ?

    @DownPW Looking at the code, it seems to come down to this

    <img src="https://storage.ko-fi.com/cdn/logomarkLogo.png" alt="Icône café" class="me-2 img-fluid">
    

    cbcd08c7-6090-4d4c-8680-320b833958e5-image.png

    If you remove the img-fluid class, it works as intended

    936bf2bf-1518-4236-aab6-1cbab0c6ca85-image.png

    The question is where the img-fluid class is being added.

    I don’t explain why this class is added in these pages

    I use this CSS code for control the button in the custom bar :

    .btn-donation {
        font-size: 12px; /* Taille du texte */
        padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; /* Marges internes pour agrandir le bouton */
        border-radius: 8px; /* Coins arrondis */
        margin-top: -8.8px !important;
        color: #ffffff !important;
    }
        
    .btn-donation img {
        width: 18px; /* Taille de l’icône */
        height: 16px;
    }

    @DownPW Possible, yes, although this particular effect uses CSS only for both the text itself, and the shine rollover. It’s actually quite complex in setup and takes several adjustments to get it to look right.

    It’s also important to understand if you are using this on a logo, or just text?

    @cagatay this relates to a change the css classes used for the brand header meaning it will now float to the left instead of right. If you’d like to retain the original behavior, you can add this css class [data-widget-area="brand-header"] { justify-content: end; display: flex; } Further information here https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17090/manual-build-a-custom-header-in-harmony/19?_=1684069325296
