Can't change text colour in Flowers Template

[TAC11]

Hi,

I have searched but cannot find an answer. I am using v1.3.8 and I have installed the Flowers Template. I am working on my site on my PC before I risk uploading it. (I was building my own template but gave up!)

I've been through the stylesheet, line by line, to change the text colour from orange to the dark blue colour I want to use. I have also changed to a different 'hover' colour.

My problem is that in the 'Categories' box it all works fine but in every other sidebox the text colour is a bright blue that I cannot find anywhere in the stylesheet. So I cannot work out how to change it. I am using the tool that shows up style information as well so I know I am not missing something in the stylesheet. The bright blue also shows up on the item pages themselves.

The blue is the one used for links in the 'Classic' template so is it something to do with that? I am still very new to this so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ta,
A link to the site please so I can view your site in Moxilla Firefox browser..

It's at localhost on my PC so I don't think I can send a link?

I've also just realised that a lot of the text in the main part of the page has changed to white. As I am using a white background it means the text cannot be read. But I still cannot find it in the stylesheet.

I had hoped using a template would make this easier

Found how to sort the white text now - line 16 in the stylesheet. Think I've been looking at it too hard trying to solve my original problem.

Still cannot find the bright blue color though....

download a copy of Firefox browser and install the Firebug addon.

It will save you hours as it can inspect each element on a page and pinpoint the exact line in your CSS file that is controling the properties. It even lets you edit the CSS live on the site, to see what effects they'd have before changing the file.
