I'm re-configuring a site to use EasySocial, EasyBlog, and EasyDiscuss and I'd like the toolbars all to look similar in two ways:

1) how do I make EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss toolbars the same blue color as EasySocial?
2) how do I make EasySocial and EasyDiscuss toolbars show text instead of icons, like EasyBlog?

Any suggestions on what files to add and/or modify would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hi Alan,

Regarding your inquiries:
1) how do I make EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss toolbars the same blue color as EasySocial?
You can achieved this by putting a css override code in your site. Can you provide us with your backend access and FTP access so that we can assist your further on this issue.

2) how do I make EasySocial and EasyDiscuss toolbars show text instead of icons, like EasyBlog?
There is no settings to do that in EasySocial and EasyDiscuss. However, you can tweak the code to achieved this. It is in this files:
.../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/toolbar.php
.../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

I am really sorry, we unable to assist you on customization because of our hands are pretty tied with the existing development and EasyBlog 5. By the way, if this a priority, please do post them on our sales section at https://crm.stackideas.com and our sales department would get back to you with a proper quote.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information Mohd, my responses are in bold below. Thanks again!

Added to the tab below, it's a little complicated but I think I gave all the necessary information, thanks!

No worries, it's not so much a priority as an aesthetic thing. Thanks for the file locations, I should be good to go with those! One question on the easydiscuss toolbar--is the toolbar in that location (/simplistic) no matter which theme I'm using?

Hi Alan,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Here I give you a css override to change the toolbar color. Please put it in your current Joomla template.
This is for EasyDiscuss and EasyBlog
div#discuss-wrapper .discuss-toolbar .navbar-inner{
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#6baee2 0,#699ed4 100%);
border: 1px solid #6ca0d9;
}
body div#discuss-wrapper [class^="icon-"], body div#discuss-wrapper [class*=" icon-"]{
color: #fff;
}
#ezblog-menu .blog-navi{
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#6baee2 0,#699ed4 100%);
}
#ezblog-menu .blog-navi li.toolbar-item,
#ezblog-menu .blog-navi li.toolbar-item.float-r{
border:transparent;
}
#eblog-wrapper #ezblog-menu,
#ezblog-menu .blog-navi li.toolbar-item > form input.input{
border: 1px solid #6ca0d9;
}
#ezblog-menu .blog-navi li.toolbar-item > form button.submit-search{
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
[/code]

Regarding your inquiry,
"One question on the easydiscuss toolbar--is the toolbar in that location (/simplistic) no matter which theme I'm using?"
It is depends on which theme you're using. But, simplistic is the base theme for EasyDiscuss. Please give it a try.

By the way, I can't access to yoursite.com/administration thus, I can't apply it directly to your site. Please give it a try.
Thanks.
