lightening text

[Guest hardnut33]

would anybody be able to tell me what controls the colour of the text for the prices, products info label and the poduct code/stock info..if you take a look at one of my items you will see what i mean..the text is hard to see...

I'm assuming it's in the style.css file but cant seem to find which one or more alters these...

any help is much appreciated

i know it sounds stupid but i been through the list already and still couldn't find it!!

although the list IS very handy and has been loads of help...

[roban]

the style you're looking for is a.txtDefault-- text for categories box "Homepage, sale items", text for products names in Popular Products box and Sale Items box and .txtContentTitle-- Main Titles like "Welcome to Cube Cart" and Catagory Titles. You can also open skins/your skin/styleTemplates/content/viewProd.tpl and edit from there for specific titles

[Guest hardnut33]

both styles you mention are not the ones that are needed to change what i want to change...

If you take a look you can see that the prices in the latest products box are bairly visible...and when looking at an item it is the same story with certain bits of text...

I looked at the viewprod.tpl but i wouldn't know where to start editing that!!

thanks anyway...the list has been a godsend for loads of changes that i have made to the style...

Whew!

Now that is a tough site to look at, LOL

Your problem is that the regular prices there do not have any styles applied directly to them. In addition, you have a default font color set for the .boxContent class that will apply by default to any text appearing in that area that is not styled more directly, Thus, you have a very dark gray color to the text, almost black, #333333

Look here: /skins/Killer/styleSheets/layout.css

Find this:

.boxContent {

	border-top: 3px solid #CFE3F5;

	border-right: 1px solid #cccccc;

	border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;

	border-left: 1px solid #cccccc;

	padding: 3px;

	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

	font-size: 75%;

	color: #333333;

	margin-bottom: 5px;

}

change the above color: #333333; to a different color, problem solved.

Thank you so much for the help..now i can see what I'm charging!!

By tough site to look at did you mean Rubbish?? Or are you just refering to the dark text!!

I am trying...lol

I found CC about four weeks ago and have struggled..I have no PC knowledge whatsoever so I am always going to have a mountain to climb to make it look as good as some of the sites i have seen by you guys and gals..

All the help along the way is very much appreciated...Thank You

No offense intended by my comment, what I mean is that the stark black - white - red is very harsh on my 51-year-old eyes

Glad to have helped, good luck with the site.

[Guest hardnut33]

No offence taken...I value your opinion..

any suggestions are very much appreciated from you or any other members...
