I created a gallery using Gallery Assist and Image API modules. The gallery is posted on a node with a black background, so that the controls don't show - unless you drag the cursor over them. How do I change the font color of the First/Last/Next <, >, << and >>?

And, less important, is it possible to change that font color only for specific galleries?

Usually for module specific questions, you'll have the best luck posting in that module's own issue queue, where it's creator and others who use it will be more likely to answer.

In all cases of needing to change the font or color or style of anything in Drupal (or any website really), the answer is always to use CSS. You should ensure that you've added the Firebug extension to your Firefox browser. Once you have it, click the "bug" icon at the bottom right of your browser to turn it on. Then click on the "Inspect" button at the left (it's a box with an arrow in it). Now hover your mouse anywhere over your site and click on the item you want to know about. It will then show you the related HTML and CSS. You can see which .css file the styles come from too. Simply adapt the existing CSS or add an override within your own style.css, and you should be good to go.

Thank you Keyz for that very helpful information! I'm new to Drupal and css, and half the battle is knowing what questions to ask and where to ask it.

That is very good information about the Firebug extension. I've seen it mentioned before, even looked it up, and I had no clue what it was used for. Your explanation is the best I've seen so far. I'm poking around in the css files and finding what I need by trial and error - Firebug will help a lot.

I'll play a bit in the css files for my theme, and if I can't find how to change the Gallery Assist text color then I'll post in the module issue queue.

Gallery Assist includes color icons in the ga_pager folder to accomplish this, providing visibility against dark backgrounds. The folder needs to be copied to the theme folder and then activated in the Admin/Site Configuration/Gallery Assist node under the Pager options. Change the Type to Icons (rather than Numeric) and choose a Layout color. Much simpler than I thought.
