[SOLVED] Font color in sidebar differs from text links

Hi,

My text link default color is currently this color: 0179C1. My manual links that I put on my right sidebar is also the same color(0179C1) which is good and what I want. But unfortunately the links being shown on the right sidebar for 'widget:recent posts' is showing a different link color(it looks a different shade of blue compared with the link default color). I like to either change my default color to this color or change the widget recent posts link color to that of the link default color. Can you tell me how to do this. Where should I go to make this change.

Thanks
Jeanie

The styling for widgets is often different because of the selectors they use. You just have to determine the selectors using a tool like Firebug and define the proper CSS.

I just took a look as suggested. Under widget list items, the font color shows 0179C1 which is the same as the default link color. It's strange because the colors shown on the site are different. Here take a look at my website and you will see the different colorremoved)

Any other suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks
Jeanie

If you look at the links in the front page, they are using #0179C1 with the exception of the link for 'Best Infant Car Seat' in the first line. That has an in line style of #000000 (black) and the inlink style takes precidence over the style.css settings.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't referring to that link you mentioned. I was referring to the links in the right side bar. If you take a look at the right side bar - look for 'Bestselling Infant Car Seats' - the 10 links used the link color '0179C1'. Now just below this under 'Latest Articles' the link color of those links looks different from the color in those links in 'Bestselling Infant Car Seats'. But when I checked the style widget options link color it seems to be '0179C1'. But the 2 colors really look different. Not sure if my eyes are playing a trick or if I need do something to get the same color. Imilesw says its supposed to be different for widgets but I don't have firebug to check that. But where can I change the color of the widget to match '0179C1' if I do confirm it's different. But if you have firebug and help check that, it would be good too.

Thanks again
Jeanie
