The link colour in Reboot light-blue is really so light that readers have difficulties to distinguish the link in ordinary text. Only in the hover mode the link becomes clearly visible.

What would be the easiest way to improve the link's visibility without affecting the other contents?

Hey AriM,

Sorry about that one, must have slipped through the net.

Links that appear in posts are controlled through the 'light-blue.php' overlay under the $postLinkColor class. This currently uses $baseColor2 which is a light blue, but you might be better off changing it to $baseColor5 (dark blue used for the bulk of the coloured text).

So - not sure if you are using the stock theme or a child, but it would be easy enough to do with a child theme given the new framework.

Simply make a copy of the light blue overlay from the reboot folder, and put the copy into the overlays folder in the 'reboot-child' framework. You can then re-name it and make the change.

In the meantime I will make sure this gets fixed up for the next Reboot update, and will check all the other 'light' themes while I'm at it. Using the first of the two main forum colours ($baseColor2 and $baseColor3) works well but it seems only in the dark themes!
