Changing rating star images

If you prefer to use a custom image for rating stars, you need to create 2 image files, one with 16x16 icon grid and one with 24x24 icon grid. Use existing rating_stars.png and rating_stars_lg,png images as a "template" for your custom images.

Place the image into the /theme_css/images folder of your custom theme in overrides and add this code to your custom_styles.css file:

.jrRatingStarsUser, 
.jrRatingStarsEditor, 
.jrRatingStarsUser div, 
.jrRatingStarsEditor div { 
  background-image: url(images/rating_stars.png); 
}
 
.jrRatingsLarge .jrRatingStarsUser,
.jrRatingsLarge .jrRatingStarsEditor,
.jrRatingsLarge .jrRatingStarsUser div,
.jrRatingsLarge .jrRatingStarsEditor div {
  background-image: url(images/rating_stars_lg.png);
}
 
/* rating form */
.ui-stars-star a {
  background-image: url(images/rating_stars_lg.png);
}

Changing the stars in JReviews v2.7.13.1 and older

If you want to change the rating stars, you only need to define a different stars background image. There are several sprite images for rating stars available in JReviews themes:

To change which image file is used for rating stars, use this custom css and adjust the file name:

.jrRatingStarsUser, 
.jrRatingStarsEditor, 
.jrRatingStarsUser div, 
.jrRatingStarsEditor div { 
    background-image: url(images/rating_bars.png); 
}
 
/* rating form */
.ui-stars-star a {
    background-image: url(images/rating_bars.png);
}

If you want to use your own stars image, place the image file into \theme_css\images\ folder in your theme. Make sure your custom stars have the same dimensions, otherwise you will need to modify styles for dimensions also.
