You want the text color to change or the background to change?

Right now the text color does change when hovered but only slightly.

For text color look for

#spMainContainer a.spRowName:hover, #spMainContainer a.spInRowLastPostLink:hover

in your default.php file. You will see the name of the string it is echoing. IE, $alt1LinkHover. If you go to your overlay you will see that string and you can change it to the color you wish.

You can change the color of the background hover in the same section by adding the background: css and then the color you want it to be when hovered.

I want the text color to change red when you hover over it.

Brandon gave it to you, I believe…

#spMainContainer a.spRowName:hover, #spMainContainer a.spInRowLastPostLink:hover {
color: #80000;
}

but much easier to tell for sure with link then a screencast…  might have misunderstood…

So I found this #spMainContainer a.spRowName:hover in the main marketingden php. I’m guessing that is the default? Anyways I don’t quite understand if I add my color to the marketingden php. or the layover shades of grey css style sheet. because if it’s the layover this #spMainContainer a.spRowName:hover doesn’t exist .

This is in the main marketingden php. http://screencast.com/t/BU6m7ihFi2 is this where I add my color code?

in this case, you want to edit the overlay file…  find the $alt1LinkHover declaration and change the color there…

Thank you, that was much easier. This language doesn’t make sense to me so it’s hard for me to comprehend. lol

Can you tell me where to change these button colors? http://screencast.com/t/IFZiRcrR9onM

you need to grab a copy of firefox and the firebug add on for it… with that you can easily inspect any element and css…  you can even what if changes right there on the site before formally making the changes…

those are all controlled by

#spMainContainer a.spButton

in your main theme css file…  if using overlays, you will see the variable in the overlay file to modify…

Yeah I downloaded fire bug last week but still haven’t used it lol I should do that ASAP!

no worries.. but you will find it easier to use than asking us…  plus a bit of reward when one learns… but we are here if you need us…

Mr Papa said  if using overlays, you will see the variable in the overlay file to modify…

 Variable? where is that in the overlay style sheet?

I’m pretty sure this is the last thing I want to change on this forum and I will stop bugging you lol sorry

not bugging… no worries…

variable is a php variable…  like we talked about before:  $alt1LinkHover
