    Default How do I change the font color in the menus?

    in the side boxes and in the banner on the top of the page, the text is a dull gray, including the linking text, and non-linking text in the menu. From my understanding this should change in the stylesheet.css, but it is not the
    a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
    color: #FF0000;
    }

    a:active {
    color: #0000FF;

    I want to change all the dull gray text to white #FFFFFF but I adjusted the two above to FFFFFF it clearly was not the right text to change. I am new to this, so I do not know which area to edit the text. I tried aardvark to check it says leftboxheader, but i notice that dull gray is not just in that box, but every menu area of the page. Please help!

    We need to see your site to know exactly which stylesheet rules to modify for your situation.

    I found three rules that need to be changed in your stylesheet:
    Code:
    #navMain ul li a, #navSupp ul li a, #navCatTabs ul li a {
    	text-decoration: none;
    	padding: 0em 0.5em;
    	margin: 0;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    	white-space: nowrap;
    	}
    
    /*and farther down*/
    
    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
    h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    	font-size: 1em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    	}
    
    #manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
    	font-size: 0.9em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    }
    If there are any others, search your stylesheet for #6e6e6e.

    	}
    
    /*and farther down*/
    
    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
    h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    	font-size: 1em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    	}
    
    #manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
    	font-size: 0.9em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    }
    If there are any others, search your stylesheet for #6e6e6e.
    These sections are not there at all:

    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
    h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    font-size: 1em;
    color: #6e6e6e;
    }

    #manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
    font-size: 0.9em;
    color: #6e6e6e;

    and the color 6e6e6e is also not there at all. so i am wondering what to change?

    I copied them from your current stylesheet that is controlling your site. Exactly what file are you searching in (full filepath)?

    beauxnbelles.com/shopping/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css
    Code:
    /*sideboxes*/
    .columnLeft {}
    
    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
    h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    	font-size: 1em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    	}
    #manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
    	font-size: 0.9em;
    	color: #6e6e6e;
    }

    I found that directory and changed as you suggested. It worked! Thanks so much.

    I had been trying to edit beauxnbelles.com/shopping/includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet.css

    Bra Straps (4)
    Bracelets
    Earrings
    Necklaces
