Add dividing lines to color scheme editor

Contribute Feature

There are dividing lines all over the forum, and they each have to be re-colored individually. For example, the dividing lines separating modules in the hamburger menu. Can you add this to the color scheme editor?

Could you show an example of what you mean? Are you referring to the lines like ‘last visited’?

You mean borders in general? In a theme you can edit many with a little CSS:

:root { 
--content-border-color: red; // general borders
}

.sidebar-wrapper { 
 --d-sidebar-section-border-color: blue; // sidebar dividers
}

There are variables like this to be overridden in a theme’s CSS throughout the Discourse styles now, with the purpose of making specific changes like this a little easier. You can find them using your browser’s inspector.

That kind of individual per-element change isn’t really what the color palette admin area was meant for (we’d have to add dozens of options to cover everything individually), so custom CSS really is the best path.
