Hi, guys i must say thank you for this premium free template, weldone.

the only problem i have is with the third party component. i think one the css rules is affecting the display of buttons. the buttons are covered by the highlight color i set in the template options u can see the attached

the green color which i set in the highlight is covering the texts mean to guide the site users.

Hello,

That would be a problem with that extension. That means the extension is using standard button class names that are used throughout Joomla. The template stylizes are all default calls like this. If the extension needs a specific look then it should be providing unique ids or class names with its own css.

Thanks for the quick response
I did talk to the extension developer and this was is response in quote  "please, tell him that the <button> elements are being showed without content in them. tell him that we even tried to eliminate all possible "standard" classes in case that was the problem, but it isn't, the result is the same.

tell him we are using <button> elements with NO class at all (no class .btn, or .btn-primary.. nothing at all) but the content of the button does not show. that's a thing of the template."

Hello,

I'm sorry I don't really know that response means. If it's a button with no classes on it, it's going to be stylized. Css does not detect if there is something inside of them, it simply stylizes the element. Any standard element like inputboxes, buttons, textareas, etc. are all elements that get stylized by any template even if there is no class; they are considered core elements to any site. If you wanted to remove the "button" calls you would need to search for "button" in the index.php file and template.css and remove each case of it, but I would highly recommend not doing that as it will effect other areas of the site, and the button element is supposed to stylized.

Again, if they are looking for a specific look of their extension they need to call their own css with their own classes and ids, otherwise a template is always going to stylize buttons. That is an issue with the extension.
