Category Box - links & color

How can you change only the main category box links colors and decorations?

I have tried everything. Please if anyone can tell me how to change this for just the "Main category" box on the left only I would appreciate it.

- THANK YOU IN ADVANCE -

Re: Category Box - links & color

Basically right now the font colors are all blue and when you mouse over them they show underline. I want to change only the categories font color and remove the text-decoration: underline from this area as well. Anyone??? psst... PLEASE

Re: Category Box - links & color

append this to your skin1/main.css

Code:

.menu-categories-list  ul li a:link, .menu-categories-list ul li a:visited, 

.menu-categories-list ul li a:hover, .menu-categories-list ul li a:active {

 color:#put_your_color_here;text-decoration:none;

}

Re: Category Box - links & color

How I change the font size, font family family to the Categories menu list?
I did the separate class in main.css, but doesn't work... any advice? :(

I have searched for it. But did not find '.VertMenuItems'

Re: Category Box - links & color

Mine is 4.2 version, so I can't find the '.VertMenuItems' in the main.css

Re: Category Box - links & color

The recipe is the same

Code:

.menu-categories-list  ul li a:link, .menu-categories-list ul li a:visited, 

.menu-categories-list ul li a:hover, .menu-categories-list ul li a:active {

font-family:tahoma;

}

Re: Category Box - links & color

Victor, could you tell me how to change the bolded decoration only to the selected sub category? Because I did a mod where whatever category is active, it drops down all the subcategorys beneath it. Thanks

Re: Category Box - links & color

Something like this:

Code:

{*

$Id: categories.tpl,v 1.33 2008/11/06 16:53:53 max Exp $

vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:

*}

{capture name=menu}

    {if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories}

          {include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}

          {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-fancy-categories-list"}

    {else}

        {assign var=thiscat value=$cat}

        {assign var=par value=0}

        {foreach from=$categories item=cats}

            {assign var=Mcatid value=$cats.categoryid}

            {foreach from=$allsubcategories.$Mcatid item=subb}

                  {if $subb.categoryid eq $thiscat}

                    {assign var=par value=$subb.parentid}

                  {/if}

            {/foreach}

        {/foreach}

          <ul>

        {foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c}

<li><a {if $c.categoryid eq $thiscat}class="selcat"{/if} href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}">{$c.category}</a></li>

            {if $c.categoryid eq $par}

                {foreach from=$allsubcategories.$par item=sub}

                    {if $sub.parentid eq $c.categoryid}

                        <a href="home.php?cat={$sub.categoryid}" class="subMenuItem {if $sub.categoryid eq $thiscat}selcat{/if}">-{$sub.category}</a>

                    {/if}

                {/foreach}

            {/if}

            {foreach from=$allcategories item=cat}

                {if $cat.parentid eq $c.categoryid}

                    <a href="home.php?cat={$cat.categoryid}" class="subMenuItem {if $cat.categoryid eq $thiscat}selcat{/if}">-{$cat.category}</a>

                {/if}

            {/foreach}

        {/foreach}

          </ul>

          {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-categories-list"}

    {/if}

{/capture}

{include file="customer/menu_dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_categories content=$smarty.capture.menu}

also add this to you main.css

Code:

.menu-categories-list ul li a.selcat{font-weight:bold}

Re: Category Box - links & color

Hello, i have a different problem on my left column all the boxes have different text colours, i looks a mess.

I have tried skin css but nothing changed (i have thrown away cookies)

is there a solution to make all the text colours in the left column the same or do you have to edit the boxes seperatly.

the boxes are:

manufacturers

news

categories

most sold

i have searched for 3 days but did not find the answer

Re: Category Box - links & color

To change the text colors, you will change the class in the styles sheet.
