Artisteer Issues with the Top nav and the navigation

I created a new sub folder under \Mojo\Data\Sites\1\skins\"NewFolder"

I copied the content from artisteer-greenlagoon to the new folder.  Then i copied the Artisteer files to the new folder replacing the exsisting files.  Since the width is the same i did not have to mess the style-artisteer-overrides.css class.  Changed to the new skin and layout looks great. 

I have 2 issue.  Since my backround and top nav is white, I cant see the links.  ii cant seem to find where to change the color to black
AND
The text color in my Sub Navigaion are white and i wish to change the color to black.

Does anyone know where i can make these color changes.

If needed i can send the folder for review

Thanks

Tony

There's probably more than one solution for this, but I encountered a similar problem and found that when I put the topnav color change in the override file, I found it fixed the issue.

Hope that helps.

Re: Artisteer Issues with the Top nav and the navigation

Hi,

To change the color of the top nav links, look for this in the stylemojo.css and change the color:

.sitelink,a.sitelink:link,a.sitelink:visited { color:#fff; text-decoration: none; }

I don't know what you mean by sub navigation since the Artisteer main menu has all navigation and there is no separate menu then Artisteer styles should be correct.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Thank Donna and joe for responding

Joe that line of code did the trick for changing the color in the TopNav. Just to clarify im talking about the links" Home | Site Map | MyPage | Search | Register | Sign In") My apologies if I’m not using the correct terminology.

.sitelink,a.sitelink:link,a.sitelink:visited { color:#fff; text-decoration: none; }

____________

Then there is the Navigation made with Artisteer.  I will call it the ArtNav.  The text color is supposed to be black.  But when I copy the files over to MojoPortal, the color is white.  Im not sure where to look to fix it. 

See Picture

 

Thanks  Tony

Re: Artisteer Issues with the Top nav and the navigation

As for me, I like to open the "Page source" right menu in my FireFox and try to determinate the class which responsible for the problem from the sources.

It's first. 2 - try to found in the css sources the class definitions.  3 - Change the class parameters in the css. 4 - test it.

If the way doesn't work - dig again. That's my algorythm.

As you may found in advice from Donna, there is the style-artisteer-overrides.css file and you could override any css class here.

I.E. Just try and you will found a way.

In Addtion to the above, need to refresh web.config by adding a space.
