Font colors in Team Services

I am working on a Team Services website. I applied a theme, but unfortunately, not everything was changed that should have been. In particular, the link colors on the "Links" list and the "Quick Launch" bar are not right. The theme has a dark blue background, and while the "normal" link color is OK, the "visited" color is black. Therefore, once you visit a link, it is nearly invisible against the dark blue background. If it was a simple matter of tweaking the HTML, I would do that. In fact, I did do that in a couple of places where the font was black. But "Links" and "Quick Launch" are some kind of included object I don't know how to edit. I found the style files, but I am reluctant to mess with them too much. That, and I'm not even sure where these objects are, or where they get their colors from. Any ideas? Thanks! Calista :-X

Make a copy of your style sheet, then go ahead and edit it. That way, if you do mess it up, you can just recover it. Or you can publish it down to your computer and work on it there.

This is what the style sheet should generally look like:

<style> <style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> { }
<!--

H1 { font-family: arial, verdana, times }

H2 { font-family: arial, verdana, times }

H3 { font-family: arial, verdana, times }


A:link {font-size: 12pt;
color: blue;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: none }

A:visited {font-size: 12pt;
color: red;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: none }
-->
</STYLE>

You'll just need to change the color on the links to the right ones.

Thanks! By doing a &quot;View Source&quot;, I figured out which stylesheets it was using, and I just changed the color to something that would be obvious if it changed, to see which specific class it was calling. There's still one I haven't figured out, but I'll get there. Calista :-X
