i have searched high and low for this one.

customer view below the breadcrumbs is text that i want to be white. I have been able to modify all the text in the dialogbox to be black which i want but some text stays white which i do not want.

In skin1.css I changed color to white but this changed too many text areas to white on many pages. So that was not the answer.

BODY,DIV,TH,P,TD,INPUT,SELECT,TEXTAREA,TT {
color:#ffffff;
}

for example on the order history
below the breadcrumbs
If you already have an.... = white color
in the dialogbox If you do not have.... = white also and it should be black.

It appears x-cart did not put a css style for the text that goes directly below the breadcrumbs but is above the dialogbox.

the only way I know of which x-cart told me was haha, change the language variables. And if fact I setup a style for it. but it does not call out to the skin1.css so I am going to file a bug.

You need to check the class="name" for the text you wish to change, search for the same name in the CSS file and change it.

If the class name applies to other text you do not want to change, create a unique class name for the text you wish to change, then create a new CSS style(font size, colour etc) using the new class name.

You can also use inline style, example
<td style="font:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#FFFFFF">your text</td>

or
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF" size="1">your text</font>

or
When you have created your NEW CSS style...

<td class="name_of_your_CSS_style">your text</td>.

If you do not select a font x-cart default font will be used.

thanks.
yes I am aware and have utilized the style sheets as mentioned in the post above. But what I am trying to achieve you cannot use the stylesheets unless someone knows otherwise?? Actually according to x-cart the only way to modify text below breadcrumbs and above dialogbox is modfiying the language files in the admin tool and so that is the solution I am using now. If I change the td style in skin1.css to red it changes a lot of the text in the dialogbox section to red also which I do not want. It needs to be black.

I am referring the following text in Red. Below is the copy from the homepage of classic x-cart shopping cart

Why don't you just wrap it in a div tag like this,

Code:

<div class="introtext">This is a demo store powered by X-Cart.

and then add a .introtext class in skin1.css?

cmec321, I understand what you were trying to do.

Just to add to 'photo' post,

you can use HTML and CSS styles to format any text in the language database.

bottom line. i know html and css solid. I am not asking how to use css or where to put code

i was looking for global solution. Specifically not having to go into each and every language tpl file to modify/add styles for color changes. i expected x-cart to have a style already set so i could go into css file and modify global one time.

but thanks. guys anyway.
