    Default Change Some Text Colors

    for the life of me, I can not find the place to change the following text colors in the CSS...

    The links in the what's new box
    The links in the more info box
    the links in the information box

    I want to change them from blue to purple.

    thanks!

    Due to coding errors..

    Find in your current template's stylesheet:
    Code:
    a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
    	color: #5502c2;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	}
     
    a:visited {
    	color: #5502c2;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	}
    
    a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
    	color: ##5502c2;
    	}
    
    #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover {
    	color: ##5502c2;
    }
    	
    a:active {
    	color: ##5502c2;
    	}
    So to repair the damage, remove the extra "pound" characters noted in red and replace the missing semicolons noted in blue.

    Sketchy, how are you able to view QueenKat's stylesheet?

    I'm of the philosophy that you have to give as much as you take and so I really try to help out others even though I'm fairly new to Zen and I'd love to know how to view others' stylesheet's so I can help out more effectively, like you did.

    Download the Firefox browser and get the web developer plug in. It's a great tool when trying to change stuff in your stylesheet. It won't allow you to save the changes directly, but you can see what it'll look like before you make the change permanent.

    I have the firefox browser already so how would I get the plugin? I'm using version 1.5.0.11.
    I looked on their website but frankly, I wasn't sure what to look for
