Re: Change the Catagories Menu look?

To adjust the hyperlink colours, you'll need to adjust your stylesheet.css

Around line 600 (in a standard stylesheet.css), find the section beginning:

/* categories box parent and child categories */

Here, you will find the declarations that govern the link colours. To make these the same as the Information box links, scroll up the stylesheet to around line 29, where you will see the declarations that govern the general link colours.

(The same principle applies to font sizes etc.)


There are switches in the Admin Panel (Configuration>>>Layout Settings), that govern whether the additional links appear under the line in the categories box, and even the line itself.

text-decoration: none;

}

A.category-top:hover {

text-decoration: none;
}

A.category-links, A.category-links:visited {

color: #0000FF;

text-decoration: none;

}

A.category-links:hover {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}

A.category-subs, A.category-products, A.category-subs:visited, A.category-products:visited {

color: #0000FF;

text-decoration: none;

}

A.category-subs:hover {
