The following will make "Announcement" appear as dark red, "Sticky" appear as dark green, and "Moved" appear as light grey. (If you use a different colour scheme, just edit the colours used in the stylesheet in the last step.)

With all of the following steps, it's assumed that "/" starts at the directory of your phpBB installation directory. Also, this is using the subSilver theme, and assumes that you're using "/templates/subSilver/subSilver.css" as your stylesheet file.

Edit "/viewforum.php".

Look for:

Code: Select all

$row_class = ( !($i % 2) ) ? $theme['td_class1'] : $theme['td_class2'];

Add the following:

Code: Select all

 //
 // MOD: Post Colour
 //
 if( $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_ANNOUNCE )
 {
       $row_class = 'post_announce';
 }
 else if( $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_type'] == POST_STICKY )
 {
       $row_class = 'post_sticky';
 }
 else if( $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_status'] == TOPIC_MOVED )
 {
       $row_class = 'post_moved';
 }
//
// END OF MOD: Post Colour
//

Edit "/templates/subSilver/viewforum_body.tpl"

Look for:

Code: Select all

<td class="row1" width="100%"><span class="topictitle">{topicrow.NEWEST_POST_IMG}{topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE}<a href="{topicrow.U_VIEW_TOPIC}" class="topictitle">{topicrow.TOPIC_TITLE}</a></span><span class="gensmall"><br />

Replace it with:

Code: Select all

<td class="row1" width="100%"><span class="topictitle">{topicrow.NEWEST_POST_IMG}<span class="{topicrow.ROW_CLASS}">{topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE}</span><a href="{topicrow.U_VIEW_TOPIC}" class="topictitle">{topicrow.TOPIC_TITLE}</a></span><span class="gensmall"><br />

Edit "/templates/subSilver/subSilver.css" (or whatever file you're using for your stylesheet - I believe the default install has stylesheet information located in "templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl").

Insert/append the following stylesheet declarations anywhere (wherever appropriate):

Code: Select all

.post_announce {font-weight: bold; color: #990000}
.post_sticky {font-weight: bold; color: #084302}
.post_moved {font-weight: bold; color: #999999}

That's it!
