Hi everybody.

I'm working on a small town school's web site and am trying to create a sub-theme using the Zen starter-kit. My problem is this. I can't seem to figure out where I can change the link colors. I've tried altering the "a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:focus, a:active" values in "html-elements.css" to no avail. I've looked all over the net and read all kinds of forums but I've had no luck and am coming here in frustration and desperation. If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd be extremely grateful.

Many thanks and best regards,
Auto

Install firefox, add the firebug add on, that way you can tell what theme is being used, what tags you need to change, and so on. It will even tell you the line number the tag is.

I've already downloaded firebug and looked at my page, but it only lists the list styles for the links (bullets, arrows etc) You can check out my page at http://ces.damianos.biz and see if you can see something I'm missing. For the current theme I'm trying to change the links to just the left sidebar. I have to do a dozen themes or so eventually and some of themes are going to be light on dark which means black/dark blue links are a deal breaker.

OK, I went back at it with a clear head this morning and discovered that I didn't edit the html-elements link properties correctly. I altered them so it said "#sidebar-left-inner a:link" instead. I had it as "a.sidebar-left-inner:link" before. Go ahead and laugh, I admit I'm a total CSS noob. lol Thanks for trying to help.

Auto,

Just wanted to share my thanks with you for figuring this out. There are many threads on drupal.org about this: you came up with the answer by telling us which style sheet to look at and what to insert.

Thanks!

David
