Change the link colour of selected category...

[Alex Clarke]

Ok, I've done this before and cannot remember how!

I'm trying to change the colour of the selected category in the categories sidebox.

For example, all of the category links are grey. I would like the selected category link to appear pink.

Anyone know the solution?

All of this is in the stylesheet.css;

/* categories box parent and child categories */
A.category-top, A.category-top:visited {
color: #008000;
text-decoration: none;
}
A.category-links, A.category-links:visited {
color: #004080;
text-decoration: none;
}
A.category-subs, A.category-products, A.category-subs:visited, A.category-products:visited {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
SPAN.category-subs-parent {
font-weight: bold;
}
SPAN.category-subs-selected {
font-weight: bold;
}
/* end categories box links */


Change what ye like, save changes, voila!

Thanks for that!

I was actually using a copy of the template_default stylesheet, which didn't contain that code. :|

Thanks again for the help. :)

This is something that I'd like to be able to do too! In fact I was thinking about it last night. :|

If I find out how to do this I'll post here.

tpl_categories.php has directions for this in the comments at the top of the file.

Categories Dressing has more extensive directions, and some example code.
