Is there a way to customize the color of the highlighted stars in a jQuery rating plugin?

Utilizing a jquery plugin, I have successfully implemented a star rating feature sourced from this location. The stars are appearing as intended, but upon selection, the default color is red. This selected color is specified in the .rateit .rateit-selected class. In an attempt to change it to yellow, I modified my style.css file with the following code:

.rateit .rateit-selected {
color: rgb(239, 197, 41);
}

Despite this alteration, the selected color remains unchanged, potentially due to a background gif present in the styling found at this link https://i.sstatic.net/mg6ov.gif.

The desired customization entails a background of star.gif provided by the plugin and a yellow color (modified from red). Here is the updated CSS:

.rateit .rateit-selected {
background : url(star.gif) left -16px;
color: rgb(239, 197, 41);
}

However, achieving the yellow color on selection from star.gif proves challenging due to its composition of four layers of stars within the gif.

Answer №1

The vertical offset of the image in the background CSS shorthand is crucial. With the current value set to -16px, the red star replaces the default grey star by being raised 16px above.

To switch to a yellow star, adjust the value to -32px for a higher positioning:

.rateit > div {
  width: 16px;
  height: 16px;
}

.rateit .rateit-selected {
  background: url(https://i.sstatic.net/mg6ov.gif) left -32px;  
}
<div class="rateit">
  <div class="rateit-selected"></div>
</div>
