Thanks again....
Ive been using webmaster mode to open the templates, looking to see where the classes are applied in the mini_cart.tpl and menu_cart.tpl for the buttons and the text and changing the colours in skin1.css.
As I see it, the text in the mini cart (ie. item numbers and the total $) and my login form headings (in the vert. menu) use the main text colour code from skin1.css, which defines the colour of all the text in the site. I just want to make them a different colour to the rest of the text (obviously because I have a dark purple background in the head and menu and a white background for the main page content.
I thought I could do this by creating another class in skin1.css and apply it to the minicart text to make it a different colour, but this didnt work.
I am also still stumped as to why my checkout and content buttons in the minicart are still surrounded by a border. I checked the templates you mentioned but couldnt change them.
Following is my code the for minicart files to see if this sheds any light. Sorry if I have waffled, but I would appreciate your help again!

This is my mini-cart code:
{* $Id: minicart.tpl,v 1.12 2004/07/06 14:00:12 svowl Exp $ *}
<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<TR>
<TD rowspan="2" width="55">
{if $minicart_total_items > 0}
[img]{$ImagesDir}/basket_full.gif[/img]{else}[img]{$ImagesDir}/basket_empty.gif[/img]{/if}
</TD>
<TD >{if $minicart_total_items >0}
{$lng.lbl_items}: </TD>
<TD>{$minicart_total_items}{else}<left>
{$lng.lbl_cart_is_empty}</left>{/if}</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD >{if $minicart_total_items > 0}
{$lng.lbl_total}: </TD>
<TD >{include file="currency.tpl" value=$minicart_total_cost}{/if}</TD>
