Can't Figure It Out

How do you change the navigation link color in your userlookup? Not the dropdown menu colors, I can do that, but the actual colors that show up that says My Account, Pet Central, Explore, etc. Mine is stuck in white and it blends in with my background, I keep trying to change it to black but it won't work. Anyone know the code for changing that kind of stuff?

These colors are set by the theme you are using (if I remember correctly). Which means that if you change your theme to something else, you would get these links in black instead of white. :)

Really? Huh. I never knew that. So, if mine is set in white, and someone elses is set in black, they'll see it in black? I'm asking because the way I want is for that navigation menu set on a white background, but it's pointless if no one can see it. :P

If you want to change them only on your lookup, you can throw

 

ul.dropdown {
border: 1px solid #000000;
background: green;
}
.dropdown li a {
color: white !important;
}
.dropdown li a:hover {
color: pink !important;
}

 

in your style tags. You can change the size and font too (this example just changed the colours), as well as the border around the menu (if you want one). Everyone should see it to the colours you set.

 

In this example, the green is the background colour of the dropdown, the white is the option and the pink is the option when it's moused-over.

I have a code similiar to that already in my userlookup that I added to change the background/hover color/dropdown link color. But I want to change the ACTUAL links you see directly on your userlookup, unless you can do that with your/my code and I'm just doing it wrong...

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: #000000;
font: 8pt Georgia;
}
a:hover {
color: red;
font: 8pt Georgia;
}

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: #000000;
font: 8pt Georgia;
}
a:hover {
color: red;
font: 8pt Georgia;
}

 

If you don't specify for it to go in the dropdown, it SHOULD apply to any links in the body of the page. If you want them different colours in different mods, you'd have to specify within each mod tag.

Thank you! I'll try it out and see if it works for me. I hope so, this is driving me crazy. :D

 

EDIT: Well...it seems to work for every single link on the page...except the navigation bar. I don't get it...

 

Ah well, I guess I'll have to be careful when adding in white backrounds, because it just doesn't want to be changed.

I think if you put the values in the #nav section (where you specify the position and stuff), it changes those bits. Not 100% though, as I've never used it

[NeoLover854]

Well I'll give it a shot. Thanks everybody!
