How to manipulate help text appearance was created by FranzGerbig
Hi guys,

I'd like to change
a. the help text color
b. quit the border line below and the question-mark.
With the following I haven't been successful so far:
Code:
.question-help { color:#2c3e50; } .answer-container, .question-help-container { /*not needed - and obsolete without any help text: border-style: solid; */ } .questionhelp { } .survey-question-help img { display: none; }

On top I don't get the difference between .questionhelp and .question-help!?:dry:


I appreciate some hints on that!

Hi, I tested this in default template.

change the help text color by:
Code:
.text-info { color: red; }
to hide the question mark:
Code:
.questionhelp .fa { display: none; }


quit the border line below

Which border line ???

Best regards
Joffm

Thx a lot Joffm!

The ? is gone, but there's a blank space before the help-text (needed to separate ? and text), still.
Code:
.text-info { text-indent: 0; }
doesn't seem to have any effect on that.


That "border line" between help text and answers (scale) seems to depend solely on the .answer-container, not the .question-help-container (modifying the first removes it):
Code:
.answer-container { border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px; /*was 0px 1px 0px 1px*/ padding-top: 3em; background-color: white; }

Greetings
Franz

On a totally different note: Your installation is already 2 years old. You should at least upgrade to the latest version in your branch, which should be 2.7.x.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

OK, (as readable in my new signature) I'm using a more recent version of LS 3.13.2+180709.
But now, I can't even manage to change the color of text-info neither make disappear the .fa!?

my failed intempts so far:
Code:
.question-help-container .text-info { color: #35363f; } .fruity .text-info { color: #35363f; margin-left: 0; /*to align text-info without .fa*/ } .ls-quetsionhelp { color: #35363f; } .fruity .questionhelp .fa { display: none; }

What do you see, what I don't?

oh, cool - leave it alone for a weekend, and it works (half ;))

The font color is now, what I want it to be (though I don't know, why - I guess, some cache phenomenon).
And for the .fa (make it disappear), now I stumbled over the solution as well:
Code:
.ls-questionhelp:before { display: none;

The only thing remaining is the margin-left before the text-info (1.2em; the 2nd part of the code should work - due to the fact, that it does in the browser console, cf picture).
Code:
.fruity .text-info { color: #35363f; margin-left: 0; } .ls-quetsionhelp { margin-left: 0; }
