Color of visited links in new web styling

Hola,
Thanks to the web crew for all the hard work on the new arch website look.
Just wanted to suggest that maybe a color for the previously visited links (a:visited I think) could be chosen that wasn't so close to the plain text color.
Once a link has been visited, it's sort of hard to tell it from plain text.
Some of us old guys are already going blind from decades of working in front of a monitor in the dark 8-/
Thanks again for all the hard work!

Stylish is also available for Chrome/Chromium, and there are ways of using custom stylesheets with most other browsers too.
Actually for the Arch forums, though, if you click on "Profile" above, then "Display" on the left, there are about 10 different styles for how the forums look which you can choose from. Only the default "ArchLinux" style has the problem mentioned here, though the others have a different issue where all links, whether visited or not, show in more or less the same color. (Though the new post indicator is probably a better guideline anyway.)

Changing Safari Font Color for Visited Links

Is there a utility or some other way to change the color of visited links in Safari? The current blue/purple colors are very difficult to distinguish and I would like a more dramatic color change for visited links. Thank you for any help.

Color of visited links

Hi,
we are using self created HTML Content WPC Webpages.
The problem is, that once you have clicked on the link the color of this link is exactly the same as the background color. We have changed no settings concerning the links or the background color.
Anyone knows where I can set the color of visited links?
I can not find the correct setting in the Theme editor.
Best,
Stephan

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I think the settings in the theme editor only work if the link I create has a certain css class. But my Links do not have any css class attribute.
I need to find, where I can globaly set the a:visited setting in the portal.
Best,
Stephan

Changing color on visited links?

How can Safari options be changed to show visited links in a different color (as is the case in Internet explorer and other browsers.
i.e if you have already visited a link, when you return to the main page, the browser shows you by different colors which links you have viewed and which ones are new (for thew current session)
thanks

I know you said Safari Enhancer will change the "read" links color but not on certain pages that have their own style sheets. I am using 10.4 with the latest version of Enhancer with Yahoo set as my home page. This page has about 100 links to news, sports, business etc. Even though I set Enhancer to change the colors it will not do so. Nor will my Google News Page. It does work with Google Search page but I want it to work on my Yahoo home page since that is where I read all of my News etc. Can you recommend other software that will work? Is Apple going to address this issue?

Change color on visited links

Firefox 35.0.01
Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 32.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
I recently did a "refresh" (?) on Firefox and my visited links are no longer changing color. I've gone to Options - Content - Fonts & Colors - Colors... and the Link Colors option looks okay but when I click on a link it doesn't change color to indicate that it's been visited.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
You can also check the layout.css.visited_links_enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure it has the default value.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Change color of visited link

Hello,
I would like to change the color of visited column link in my report. After user clicks on it, it opens some info region, but user wants to know what info was already accessed after this region is closed, so link should stay colored.
I

Here is my solution.
On click I store the record key in page item, say P100_KEYS, and append keys (with ; separator) each time the link is clicked in any record. Then DECODE(SUBSTR(:P100_KEYS,INSTR(:P100_KEYS,REC_KEY)-1,LENGTH(REC_KEY)+2),';'||TO_CHAR(REC_KEY)||';','v','') in the report sql analyzes the keys, and check marks relevant records when page resubmitted. Check mark could be colored, but because link is also a gif image, it looks well as is.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

The color of visited links box around

As could be achieved in the version 10.0.2 that is created around the reference frame visited, for example. in red? In earlier versions it was to write:
{border 1px solid black! important;}
Now I really would not work and it helped me. Thanks for any advice

You can try an outline instead.
:visited { outline: 1px solid black !important; }

Visited links don't change color

Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
Thanks!
Larry

Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Visited links sometimes don't change color, sometimes do, at the same sites.

I am using Firefox 4.0.1 under Win XP. Under Options/Content/Colors, the color of unvisited links are blue and visited links are purple. However, when I visit a link by clicking on it, the link temporarily changes color but after I visit the link and return to the original page, "'''''sometimes'''''" the link has reverted to its original blue (the unvisited color), and "'''''sometimes'''''" the color becomes the color it should be -- purple for a visited link. Using IE, the color always changes as it should.

Thanks for the input. I tried that, and it didn't work. It appears to work for everything else - just not download links.
Here's an example of my links:
<a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
in my header is
<style type="text/css">
a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {
background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {background-color:#FF704D;} /* selected link */
</style>
Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.

Visited link color...

Howdy - Can the color of visited links (when using search engines) be changed from the default purple? I found that option in Camino, but don't see it in Safari. Thanks!

You need to use a CSS style sheet.
Select it in Safari preferences, advanced.
Here is a sample. Save the following 5 lines as plain text, with the extension css. For example, Safari_colors.css
focus { outline: 1px dotted invert }
a:link { color: #990000; text-decoration: none; }
a:link:active { color: #CC0099; outline: gray 1px dotted; }
a:visited { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited:active { color: #006699; outline: gray 1px dotted; }
If you put the following javascript in your bookmarks bar, you can see all the color by selecting that bookmark.
javascript:t='';c=new%20Array('00','33','66','99','CC','FF');for(i=0;i%3C6;i+)%7Bt+='%3Ctable%20width=100%25%3E';for(j=0;j%3C6;j++)%7Bt+='%3Ctr%3E';for(k=0; k%3C6;k++)%7BL=c%5Bi%5D+c%5Bj%5D+c%5Bk%5D;t+='%3Ctd%20bgcolor='+L+'%3E'+L%7Dt+=' %3C/tr%3E'%7Dt='%3C/table%3E'%7D;with(document)%7Bwrite(t);void(close())%7D

How do I stop Safari from Changing Visited Links Color's?

I recently switched from Firefox to Safari since I find Safari much faster. I do have one annoyance though. When I click a link (especially in forums) and revisit a page with that link, Safari is changing the link's color. Firefox did this too, it changed visited links from blue to purple.
I would like to set it somehow so Safari doesn't change the color of visited links at all. Is this possible? When I googled I saw many different posts about using custom made CSS style sheets. I just want to get an 'official' or more relevant answer since many opf those posts were years old. I'm using the latest Safari.
Thanks!

AFAIK, it's not possible with preferences, per se. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7183566 and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslinks.html for possible hints. You might also investigate modifying one of Safari's css files, inside the Safari app—left as an exercise, with no guarantees that you won't cripple something.

Visited links on safari do not change color

Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
I found the link below helped, and it works!

Trying to get spry menu to show visited links with different color

I know there is Javascript involved I was just wondering if Anyone has sent it up yet. as a downloadable@ file

Visited links need not be JavaScript driven. They are primarily CSS driven.
/* unvisited link */
a:link {
    color: #FF0000;
/* visited link */
a:visited {
    color: #00FF00;
/* mouse over link */
a:hover {
    color: #FF00FF;
/* selected link */
a:active,
a:focus {
     color: #0000FF;
FYI: Spry is dead. Adobe abandoned it in late 2012.

Changing Active and Visited link colors.

I am trying to find a way to meet a business users request to
set the color for visited links in the published TOC so that the
users will know which topics they have visited. Is there a way to
do this?
I found where you can edit the skins but it only lets you set
the color for active and hover states, not visited.
