Widget links

I've used ATO Widget List options to set widget hover colors and also tried CSS, but am not seeing anything at http://flow-dynamix.com/free-resources-to-get-unstuck/.

Might it have anything to do with the Flexipages widget? If so, I know I need to follow-up with the author. I did have the hover color when I started but lost it. I'm inclined to think it's more my own lack of knowledge rather than the plug-in, though.

I'm using 3.4.6 and here's what I tried on the CSS based on another thread I read. Most of the CSS is re: the bullets, but I thought it might be important to show it all. If there's an answer for hover, I'll hope to apply it to active, as well, which is why you see the repetitive CSS sections.

div.widget ul li a:link {
border-left: 0 !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
div.widget ul li a:visited {
border-left: 0 !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
div.widget ul li a:active {
font-weight: bold ! important;
border-left: 0 !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
div.widget ul li a:hover {
color: #01857D !important;
font-weight: bold ! important;
border-left: 0 !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
div.widget ul {
/* for other styles, try "disc" and "square" instead of "circle" */
color: #00A79D;
list-style-type: disc !important;
padding-left: 0;
margin-left: 0;
}
div.widget ul li {
/* 1.35 or more required for Safari or bullets too wide on the left */
margin-left: 1.35em;

/* overwrite existing display:block Firefox */
display: list-item;
}
div.widget ul li ul{
list-style-type: none !important;
}

Thanks!
