Default link color-change?

Is it possible to change the color of the text in the navigation bar and/or in the start slideshow button?
If so, how? The default colors are hard to see against my background color.
Thanks

You actually have to select to "not show the navbar" then create your own.
Also, click View>Show View layout, and be sure that no "box" (a bit hard to see) is covering your links.
If one is, drag the text box with the links out of the box, click "Display Navigation Menu" in Inspector>Page, unclick it, and drag the text box back up.
Good luck!

How i suppress the default link color?

Hi,
<p>
i have a little sql report, and i have coded the color for a column value in a function call. It looks like :
<p>
select format_html(col_x,5)
from mytable;
<p>
This function give me the following result:
<p>
---> select format_html(col_x,5) from syn
where rownum<10;
1<br>
2<br>
3<br>
4<br>
5<br>
<_font color="#dc143c">6</_font><br>
<_font color="#dc143c">7</_font><br>
<_font color="#dc143c">8</_font><br>
<_font color="#dc143c">9</_font><br>
<p>
Now all values > 5 have a different color. And this works fine.
<p>
But now i will link this column to an other page. And than the column has the default color for the link(wich is blue). How i can change this behavior, so the values have the color from the function and the links are only underlined?
<p>
Thanks for your help,
Maik

Hi Maik,
You can do something like the following:
In the region's Region Header for the report, add in:
<style>
.customlink:hover {color:red}
.customlink:active {color:yellow}
.customlink:link {color:purple}
.customlink:visited {color:green}
</style>
You can change "customlink" to whatever name you like and, obviously, pick your own colours.
Then in your SQL statement, add in a field that returns a stylename:
select field1,
field2,
CASE WHEN (test) THEN 'customlink' ELSE '' END STYLENAME,
etc
from etc
Then, in the link, in "Link Attributes", add in classname='#STYLENAME#'

Trouble getting rid of default link colors!

Dear Folks,
I have created a ul list for navbar: reads just great in Safari, but has residual blue link color and underline - I have eliminated all styles in the source code, and have written styles in the CSS. Firefox reads all the visted and current links as default underlines, where I want color boxes.
The header where the navbar is located is a secondary header with the div #header2 (no nav bar on the splash index page)
What I wanted was a "tabbed" look, (dark background with light rollovers) which I got as long as I don't "visit" pages - then it reverts to blue letters with underline.
Any help? Here is the code in the CSS
In frustration, I set a separate link color for the footer for all pages - it read fine when each was a separate command, but combining it in CSS Shorthand made it not function.
#footer a:link a:visited a:hover a:active {
color: #CCC98F;
text-decoration: none;
and here is the code for the navbar in the secondary header:
#header2 #navbar ul {
font-family: "Gill Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
color: #CC9;
list-style: none;
#navbar li {
float: left;
list-style: none;
padding: 0px 10px 15px 0px;
margin: 0;
#navbar li a:link, #header li a:visited {
background: #2B2D16;
padding: 0.2em 0.5em;
font-family: "Gill Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #CC9;
text-decoration: none;
margin-right: 0.5em;
width: auto;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap;
word-spacing: 0.2em;
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
#navbar li a:hover {
color: #D2A44E;
background: #625214;
#navbar li a.current, #header li a.current:hover, #header li a.current:active {
color: #D2A44E;
background: #625214;
cursor: default;

In your CSS, you always need to define a minimum of 4 rules for the "states" of each link.
Minimum states are:
link
visited
hover
active
in that order.
In your CSS, for #navbar li a (which is any link inside a list inside an element with id="navbar"), you have only defined the link and hover states.
In the absence of a specific CSS rule for the visited state, the browser will always default to blue underline.
Change your CSS as follows
#navbar li a:link, #navbar li a:visited, #header li a:visited {
background: #2B2D16;
padding: 0.2em 0.5em;
font-family: "Gill Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #CC9;
text-decoration: none;
margin-right: 0.5em;
width: auto;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap;
word-spacing: 0.2em;
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
If the #header li a:visited compound selector in that rule is doing nothing (since you have <div id="header2"> on the page but not <div id="header">) then change it or delete it.

Mail - url link color changes in mail signature

Hello all,
I've just tested a new signature, created in mail. In it, I use a couple of custom colors to match our company colors. Looks great.
However, when I send it out to myself to test, my email info in the signature [email protected] and our webiste url www.ddddddd.com change to the standard blue URL link color upon receipt.
I'd like folks to see them in the company colors and not as that ugly blue.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!
Stuart

Hi,
Directly you can use Http://www.sap.com in the email body, then it will come as link in the Body of the email

Link color change (beyond page properties/links or inline html mark-up)

Besides using the page properties to change all links on the page to a single color, is there a css style or some html code I can add sitewide (vs. inline mark-up for every single link) to override the blue link color and keep all links the color specified in the header and body styles?
Thanks!

Thanks bemdesign--it worked for the most part. But in my footer, the links are incorrectly changing their colors when displayed in IE. When displayed in the design view of DW, they are retaining their proper color without changing blue when I make them links.
Just before the text of the bottom row of my table, I added in the html code:
<div class="footer">
After the text, I closed it with
</div>
In my CSS, I added this code:
.footer a:link {
color: #666666;/*links under the elements with a class of footer are gray*/
.footer a:visited{
color: #666666;/*visted links are gray*/
.footer a:hover, .footer a:active{
color: #666666;/*active or hovered lover links are gray*/
While this caused the color of the link in my html in DW to be retained as gray, in IE, it displays as blue. Why is this?

Why does the visited link color change not work on some pages. this has only occurred in the past few weeks. 2 different computers Win 7 home pm Firefox 29

On some sites the visited link color does not change. I have checked all settings and they have not changed. I can make the problem change by unchecking the "allow pages to choose thier own colors" box , but the some pages do not display correctly. Things worked fine up to a few weeks ago. I feel it may be a glitch in firefox 29.
Windows 7 home premium SP 1
Firefox 29

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Link color changes

Text on a specific web page changes color as if a visited link, when it shouldn't. Too bad I can't upload a screen shot.
This doesn't happen in IE, Chrome, Safari or FF 3.6.17
If I reset the colors, the page looks fine. As soon as I click away and come back, the colors are off again.

IWeb & Link Color

My default link color appears as red. This applies to any "page links" that show at the top of the page, as well as internal links like links that I put in my blog entries.
Is there a way to change the default link color? It seems like it is a very basic necessity to a website to have link colors that actually correspond to the website.
Thanks!

So there is a way to access the source code of what I build in iWeb? Not that it is fun to have to change things manually, but if that is a solution then I'll take it.
iweb navbar css is rendered by javascript widget and the code is in the page source.
you can change it if you like, but it isn't practical because you have to post edit every time you publish your site.
I did run a forum search before posting this, but oddly enough what I found I could only view the original post and no replies - so it didn't do me too much good.
the link in my previous post was to lay out all the possible method, you pick your poison and acquire the needed knowledge, except for method #4.
Sad that Apple would leave out something as basic as changing some generic website preferences like link color. That makes me a bit wary about actually using iWeb for large-scale projects :-\
give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
that said, navbar is the simplest of iweb widgets; just about everything in it can be changed with ajax and javascript, see this thread:

- Giving a class its own "A" link color...

.title, .title a:link, .subtitle, subtitle a:link {

Wouldn't this give the color white to all links located
within a paragraph
that had TITLE or SUBTITLE assigned to it, even if nothing
was assigned to
the A tag itself?
Links within the cell are still getting the default link
color... despite
the cell having class="title"

A couple of potential problems:
1. If you set a:link, without a visited class, then if that
link was
visited, it will be purple
Test by changing your rule to this:
.title, .title a:link, .title a:visited,
.subtitle, subtitle a:link, subtitle a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
2. You have a conflicting style. Look for any other <a>
selectors in
your page styles.

Buttons Color Changed

This may sound like I don't understand button states or whatever, but every time I convert an image to a button and preview the menu the button isn't the color I created it. I open the menu in Photoshop and there are no layers that should be causing this. What is Encore CS3 doing to buttons and how do I edit or stop it? All I want is to have the buttons show up the color I create them not some hue shift that ruins my color scheme.

Hi Ruud,
Yes, i have no doubt watching the tutorial movie would help.
If fact, last night before posting this topic to the forum I did a search and came up with the topic with the link to the movie,
but after downloading the movie Windows Media Player says it is missing an audio codec it needs to play the movie and when clicking the Web Help button the page only tells me WMP is having a problem with the file (not all that helpful).
I thought I'd import it into Premiere but it seems to be an unsupported format.
So for the time being, I'm a bit stuck with the file.
I have a month's membership with Lynda.com and have been watching the Encore CS3 movies but haven't gotten what I need yet.
I am going to continue and most likely something there will click for me.
I had the problem last week and one of the check mark selectors cleared it up, but nothing seems to work on this project.
It seemed to be related to a feature that was kind of like a visited link color change.
Any further help is appreciated,
Don

Multiple Link Colors

Hi, I am quite new to Dreamweaver, and this is the 1st time I've joined a forum. I would like to have multiple link colors on the same page, within the same section (the main body) of a document. I went to some tutorials to learn how to make different sections have different link colors (i.e. navigation bar vs main body), but I cant find any instruction on how to make some of the links in the same section of the doc use different link colors. I have set up default link colors for the main body of the docs, and separate link colors for the nav bar. Then I tried to set up a 3rd link color to use when I dont want the default link color in the main body, but that doesnt seem to work.
Also, once I've figured this out, can the stylesheet with these link rule colors be attached to a template, and it will update any existing pages already made off that template?
Thank you so much for any help anyone can provide.

This is very straightforward with CSS if you understand the basic concepts.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with CSS but, as a first step, are you able to follow this tutorial?:

Change visited link color in Safari 5.1.3

Visited link colors in Safari, most notably visited Google links when I return to the search page, don't change colors as they used to do... Actually, I think it's been that way for a long time (years) now but I am just now coming back around to being interested in why and if there is a way to get back to the days where new links were BLUE and visited links were GREEN (or whatever color you wanted)...
Is this still possible with the new Safari and if so, how do you go about setting this visted link color preference???
thanks... bob...

This appears to be an issue affecting most versions of Safari from about version 5 onwards.
I recently experienced it with Safari version 5.0.6 and eventually found a fix adequate for my purposes.
1 - Sometimes simply selecting 'Private Browsing' (on Safari menu) and then deselecting it cures the problem.
2 - If that does not work I use the following Terminal command which has, so far, worked every time:
defaults write com.apple.Safari RegisteredSafariSyncClient -bool false
I must point out that I do not intend to use any sync services but it appears that if Safari gets confused it is necessary to use this command to reset its sync services.
3 - If you don't like using the Terminal command you could trash the following preference file although this more brutal approach is more likely to lose data:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit from Safari before attempting 2 or 3.
I have only tested the Terminal command on Safari 5.0.6 on a Leopard G4 without any user defined sync services but it will probably work on other versions and OSs. It is always safest to backup first.

How to Change Link Color Across Document

I have a 175 page PDF and figured out how to make all the web addresses hyperlinks document wide. Now, I'd like them all to be blue (right now they're defaulting to black). How do I do this? Thank you.

Its not easy. in fact it would have been easier to have changed the color first then added the links.
first open the touch up text by click on its button.
next click in a blank space before the link, space over with the left arrow key (end key) until just touch first letter of the link.
now hold down the shift key while hitting end key repeated ly until link is selected. now from File menu choose properties choose apperance and click the Box that is filled in with a color. chhose apropriate color click okay until you get out.
Repeat the process until all the link colors are changed. By the way the PC version of Acrobat does this automatically. Anotherway Adobe slights Mac Users. And to beat it all were it not for Apple Adobe would have started.

Change text "link" color only in Spry Tab content area

I need to have multiple text link colors in my site for light
and dark background colors. The only regions in my site that have a
white background are in the Spry Tab Panel content area. I can't
figure out how to change the text color for text links in the spry
content only. I tried to add a:link ..etc... to the style sheet,
but it did not effect anything
(I also need to clean my style sheet (s). But that comes
next.
Here
is a Link to a Sample Page in my site

Here is the SpryTabbedPanels style sheet in my site. I can't
seem to figure out the changes I need to make to effect the content
area.

How do I change the default window color?

Having white screens is too bright for my eyes!! I always change the default window color in Windows (hiss hiss) to a light shade of gray and that setting carries thru to all windows (i.e. Word, Excel, notepad....). Is it possible to do a similar thing with Tiger? I see that I can choose between a couple of "schemes" from a "Desktop and Dashboard Settings" area (or similar - i don't have my mac here now so can't look to see the proper name) but I see no way to alter colors within those schemes. If you can tell me how to change the default color for my windows I will be awfully happy. thanks.

Personally, I wouldn't trust it, and I don't hesitate to try these things most of the time even though they sometimes cause problems. But I've used Unsanity products before and they all require installing a preference pane called APE; Application Enhancement module, and that thing caused me lots of problems for my system, lots of crashes and flakiness. I won't use it again.
But I'm sure there are lots of people using it happily, but if you don't feel confident in dealing with system problems stay away from anything that adds a system preference pane or goes up in the top menu bar at the top (Apple icons excepted) or has to start up with the system.

Default link color-change?
