    Anyone?

    Now I just gota change the link colors for the side bar and also the font color for the discriptions in the side bar for the link section and catagoies section. Right now they are the same color as the BG..cant see them ??

    Bayas…starting on line 179 in the css file….

    a, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover {
    color: #013a57;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:hover {
    color: #6699cc;
    text-decoration: underline;

    I like my footer color…can I seperate the links in the footer from the ones everpalce else?

    Yes. Add into your css the following:
    #footer a:link {#yourcolor;}
    #footer a:visited {#yourcolor;}
    #footer a:hover {#yourcolor;}
    #footer a:active {#yourcolor;}

    ?? I’m a very happy guy…thanks a huge bunch..I almost didn’t even have ta think today!!!!

    the footer stuff ya gave me had ta be changed a smidge ta work though……..

    #footer a:link {
    color: #mycolor;
    }
    #footer a:visited {
    color: #mycolor;
    }
    #footer a:hover {
    color: #myothercolor;
    }
    #footer a:active {
    color: #and this one too;
    }

    Now Im gona take a bit of a brake then get me my flash logo done up…im usein the kubrick header jpg that i’ve modified as the back ground for the flash logo…the text in the movie will be white still but cooler and doin stuff ??

    thanks again guys

    Yeah, sorry, I got in a hurry to post and mutzed it up. BAD GIRL!!! Mea culpa….

    Taking a hint from vkaryl, who made this dirt easy (though I tried to complicate it by, you know, being too detailed ‘n stuff), Bayas, add the following to the style.css stylesheet file:


    #sidebar a:link {#your first color;}
    #sidebar a:visited {#your second color;}
    #sidebar a:hover {#your third color;}
    #sidebar a:active {#your fourth color;}

    where “your [X] color” is the hex code for the color you want (ie. #ffffff for white, #4282bd for the dark blue on your banner, etc).

    By the way, you *can* change your banner color. Find the following text in the Header.php file:


    /* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way, that you simply drop in an image called 'personalheader.jpg' into your /images/ directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will get cropped off of the image. */

    /*
    #headerimg { background: url('<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg') no-repeat top;}
    */

    as I said in the beginning, every thing that’s not text (ie, everything that’s not text is images. Everything that IS text is CSS. The images youwant to mess with are:

    kubrickbgcolor.jpg – this is the background gray you see. It’s a repeating gray pane.

    kubrickbg.jpg – This is the background for the white section in the front page. This includes that gray box that makes up the backgroun of your sidebar.

    kubrickbgwide.jpg – This is the background for the white section in pages of posts. This does not include the sidebar gray background.

    kubrickheader.jpg – This is the header image, where the blue you’re trying to fashion your links out of is located.

    kubrickfooter.jpg – this is the gray bar at the bottom of the screen where the footer text is. Actually it’s more than just the gray bar, it’s a little white, too, but I won’t tell if you won’t.

    Hope all this helps.
