Sidebox Header - Change Font Style

[racquel]

Hi,

I'd like to know how i can make the text in the sidebox header appear normal, rather than be bold.

I've had luck tweaking the fonts colour/size/spacing with these calls in the stylesheet.

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a, h3.leftBoxHeading label, h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a, h3.rightBoxHeading label {
	font-size: 1em;
	font-style: normal;
	color: #FF9933;
	letter-spacing: 2px;
	font-family: verdana;
	}

I can't isolate which call in the Sage stylesheet is making(or overiding?) all the text headers in the sideboxes appear in a bold font, even after doing a text search in my stylesheet for instances of the word "bold" in it. Any ideas?

I can think of a number of possible causes, but it would help to have a link to a live example.

Cheers. I'm usually so hesitant to post the url.

Oh, I don't know why I didn't see it in your first post.

Font-style is for italic/oblique/normal, font-weight is for bold/strong/normal.

So this is what you should have instead:

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a, h3.leftBoxHeading label, h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a, h3.rightBoxHeading label {
	font-size: 1em;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #FF9933;
	letter-spacing: 2px;
	font-family: verdana;
	}

Hi, I am a total n00bie to Zen, but love what I see so far.

However, I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.

I am modifying a template default CSS for my store. Most of it has gone well so far, and about ready to add products and go live. However, I noticed that for some reason the "Specials" sidebox in the right column, the header font color got changed from white to a dark blue, making it impossible to see against the header background color of blue. THe hoover color of red still works fine, and all the other sidebox headers have retained their white font color, only this one has changed. I want to change it back to white, to match the other sideboxes, and to make it readable! But I can not figure out where it needs to be changed or how.

Can someone please help?

^ Appears that you have it sorted as the "Specials" heading appears white in IE6, IE7, and FF.

Thanks,

Not sure what happened, was "blued" out on my laptop lastnight and this morning, but, you are right, now it is fine on wife's desktop and my laptop.

Thanks for the quick response! ZenCart is soooooooooo much easier than osC, i spent days on that and never got as far as I have with Zen in just a few hours!

Yeah, computers and browsers can act funny at odd times.

I'm thinking maybe your occurrence was because of temporary files harvested from the browser while adjusting the colors in the stylesheet. Sometimes, you have to flush the temp files for the browser to react. Especially when overwriting image files, I know Firefox takes a bit to acknowledge the new file.

Yesterday, my "Enter" key stopped working into the wee hours here in the forum. I had to type out responses on Notepad to obtain paragraph breaks and then copy/paste them into the forum input box. Of course, all is well today.

Hey, Sketchy! Good to see you back! I was thinking just a few days ago that I hadn't seen you posting in a long time.
