Widgets setting and color

Hello,

I was trying to mimic the demo in the sense of having 2 news widgets in the Top II Widget area. Oddly, when using the dark color scheme, the text(links) in the news widget are not white (or whatever default color is when using dark) thereby being unable to read the posts properly. When moving this exact widget to the Mainbody area, it looks as it is suppose to look. So for some reason when using the Top Widget area it seems as if it does not display properly. img attached (on a side note, is there an explanation anywhere on how to properly assess the padding and margin options?).
Thank you in advance, V-

Hi,

It can be related to your CSS changes, because I've checked the links in the dark theme and it looks correctly - could you provide an URL to your website?

Thank you, (bloodofthefirstmen.com)

The problem is caused by this selector:

Code: Select all

.symposium-wrapper a:link, .symposium-wrapper a:visited, .symposium-wrapper a:active, .widget-area a:link, .widget-area a:visited, .widget-area a:active

you have set:

Code: Select all

color: #000;

for it.

You should add the following rule:

Code: Select all

.box.dark a {
color:#fff!important;
}
.box.dark a:active,
.box.dark a:focus,
.box.dark a:hover {
color:#ddd!important;
}


Genius! Thank you. I love this template and the framework behind it. The way widgets are set up makes everything just so freaking easy. And thanks for the awesome support! I know that 3rd party piece contributed to this particular issue and it would have been easy for you to say "well it's not the theme" like I've seen with other so called support forums. Awesome! Thanks again.

On a side note, after you pointed this out I looked around a bit more as to why things changed like it did. I found a setting (in case anyone uses this theme with WPS...that said Load on every page. I turned that off - whew! it changed a lot- theme back to normal.)

So now all is OK?
