Default Category Text Color

Just wondering where the Category Name gets it's color and hover color. I run ver 4.1.3 developer - purple template.

I've searched the forum and the only thing I've found is that I should edit the purple/css/style.css file. I'm using the purple template. Folks mention changing the following code ....

/* Link Styles */
a:link{ color: #990000; }
a:visited{ color: #990000; }
a:hover{ color: #5487BF; }
a:active { color: #990000; }

and the only thing it changes for me is the Login and Register Links at the top of the site.

I've tried changing all the other link code in the css file that has a hover command and I'm able to change all the other site link colors EXCEPT the Category Names. They stay Black with a light blue hover.

Any suggestions?

I believe that what you are looking for is this:
/* Content Link Styles */
#content a:link{ color: #666; }
#content a:visited{ color: #666; }
#content a:hover{ color: #5487BF; }
#content a:active { color: #666; }

Thanks Mike, but unfortunately that doesn't work either. I mentioned that in my original post. I have tried every indication where link and hover appear in ANY of the program files, and I can't find it. Every other link I can change, but not the category names when they're displayed on the front page or when you browse.

The only other thing I will do if I can't find this, is to simply put in a <font color= ....> command in the line that displays the category names. The only thing I'll loose is the hover color change if I do that.

I don't see any mention of this in your original post. Are you sure that you changed the code that I posted? That is a separate set of elements than your original post and is a little further down the stylesheet. Notice the proceeding "#content" (id) which the category titles are within.

Also, I would suggest that you try using Firefox with the Firebug and/or Developers plugins. Then use the plugin to view the associated CSS with these links. This will tell you exactly what any element is using for it's style, including what is inherited as well as directly assigned.

Hi Mike;

Went and did what you said with firefox and the plugins. I downloaded and installed this as I use IE on all my PC's. I brought up my site and firebug was showing that "content" section of the style sheet as the one the front page was using for the category text .....

SO, I went in and changed the link color again to "000099" (dark blue), and it still didn't change, Then I noticed that firebug was showing 6 "6's" for the visited and active links, where the style sheet only had 3 6's. So I went into the style sheet and changed those 3 6's to the same 000099 color .... then the link color changed to my dark blue in both browsers. If I left those 3 6's in the other two commands, the link would not change color for me, neither in IE OR Firefox.

Go figure.

Thanks again Mike for all your assistance.

No problem, I'm glad you got it sorted. Using the 3 6's should have worked though (It's abbreviated CSS and is valid that way). that's odd that it wouldn't render correctly.
