    Default Text color changes...can't find

    Hi there,
    I have looked all through the style sheet and still can't figure out where to change these text colors...please help.

    I need to change these texts:

    New Products [more]

    New Products For June

    There currently is 1 guest online. (inside the Who's Online box)

    There are currently no product reviews.(inside the Reviews [more] box)

    thank you for your help

    They are not ordinary text items, so are controlled by specific styles. Two of those I know are links, one may be a label, and the last I'm not sure about.

    You can do a view source on a page that shows them, and take note of tags/id's/classes that show in front of the text in question. Style those and see what happens. Your styling should be limited to the box they appear in, as you probably don't want to go changing all <label> elements on your site.

    I did track down the fonts for the side box content in reviews and who's online,it can be found here,
    I had to add in the color section.

    h4, h5, h6, LABEL, h4.optionName, LEGEND, ADDRESS, .sideBoxContent, .larger{
    font-size: 1.1em;
    color: #ffffff;
    }

    Be aware, that will change all of those elements all over your site to white text. You don't want that.

    Instead, add a new line, something like:

    #whatsNewHeading a, #reviews .sideBoxContent, any others required {color: #ffffff;}

    (Be sure to use the actual correct spelling of the tags.)

    all of my side box background colors are black,so shouldn't the text all be white or a light color?
    I'm also on the hunt for font sizes,here is the site link

    In that case, yes; but that list includes things that will show in the middle of other pages as well as in sideboxes.

    Go through your site and see what else is different after your edit.

    I just wanted to let you know that there is a plug in for firefox that makes this kind of thing super easy. its called fire bug and you can get it here.
    W/it you can just open up fire fox to a page hit the fir bug icon and then use the inspect function to see where on the style sheet they element you want to modify is. you can even make temporary changes to the styles see to see how it will look.
