OK, the site I'm playing with is located at Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! I want to change the links along the top to white colored font. However, I'd like them to be black in the module block. How do I do that? Let me assure you that changing the css file isn't working. It's useless in fact. I've changed everything and even labeled what the various things do. It's almost random!!!
Any help would be much appreciated. |

Take a look at file theme.php for function themeheader(). It must not be using the CSS tags. You should be able to change it there.

Maybe in style.css, i.e. links, or add that to your style.css file,
stating colour required.. OR in theme.php
Code:echo "<body bgcolor=\"#003300\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#363636\" vlink=\"#363636\" alink=\"#d5ae83\">";
|
i.e. link, vlink, alink i.e. #363636 is dark grey/black |

You can see where I have editted the style.css to say what things do. The problem is so many of them are quite random in what they change. What I'd like to do is assign different colours to things that are pointing to the "link" style deffined in the style.css.. I just can't work out how.
Code:FONT {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
TD {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
BODY {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
P {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
DIV {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
INPUT {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
TEXTAREA {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
FORM {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px}
A:link {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline} /* create an account and most modules */
A:active {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline} /* not much */
A:visited {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline} /* home, topics, downloads */
A:hover {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline} /* mouse over live links colour */
.title {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none} /* not much */
.content {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica} /* bullets, body text, date */
.storytitle {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #363636; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.storycat {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline} /* not much */
.boxtitle {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none} /* not much */
.boxcontent {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica} /* not much */
.option {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none} /* story title */
.tiny {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none} /* invisible and inactive module stuff */
.footmsg {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 8px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.footmsg_l {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 8px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline}
.box {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px; border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #000000} /* bottom copyright stuff */
.chicken {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica} /* bullets, body text, date */

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it must be using the style.css tags somehow, because when I change the style.css it changes some of the colours. |

SpaceMonkey,
dezina is pointing you to the code that is defining the colours for the links. These are not referencing CSS tags, they are hard-coded in the body statement (bad form by the way -- not you, but this Theme). Another thing you would try is remove the colour statements in this body statement and see if the CSS definitions provide the right colours you are looking for.
Regards,
montego |

is governing link colours in this theme. BEWARE that if you change to white,
and rest of theme has white background, your links will not show up against white background. |

Yeah, the problem is I want to change the top text to white, against the green background and the module block to black against white. Does anybody know how I could do this? |

I deleted everything from here except the background colour and it had no effect. |

If you then did not alter style.css, which is currently showing
Code:A:link {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY:
|
(link set there as #000000 i.e. Black)
you would still not see any effect |

Yeah, that bit changes "Create an Account" and a few of the modules. The problem is that it also changes the some of the modules in the module block to white. I don't want them to change, just the text with the dark green background. I've now change the text at the top by changing each title to white.. Seems a little clumsy, but it works. |

Did say BEWARE in my previous post, and "your clumsy method" is the only way to achieve your goal with this particular theme  |

Visit your site, view source in browser reveals
Code:<font class="chicken">
<b> <a href="account-new_user.html">Create an Account</b></font></td>
<td align="center" height="20" width="70%"><font class="chicken"><b>
|
so font class="chicken" needs to be looked at or you may again, have to introduce a specific style.css call for that link only |
