Page_Footer problem (Not "Page Footer")

[Donald Gray]

<!-- PAGE FOOTER -->
<div class="page_footer" align="center">
<div class="page_footer_content">
<div class="dotted_line_blue"><img src="theme_shim.gif" height="1" width="1" alt=" " /></div>
<p class="text_footer"><span class="text_menu_no_space">© 2007 <actinic:variable name="CompanyName" /></span>&nbsp; <a href="<actinic:variable name="SendMailPageLink" />" class="link_footer"><actinic:variable name="SendMailText" /></a> | <a href="<actinic:variable name="InfoURL" />" class="link_footer">Privacy Policy</a> | <a href="<actinic:variable name="InfoURL" />" class="link_footer"><actinic:variable name="InfoText" /></a></p>

The above is the area I have problems with. The code itself is perfect for what I want. It is straight 'out of the box' The main problem is the colour of the 3 last variables as links

Using the Basic design theme 'Executive', I have gone to 'Advanced Theme Configuration' and changed the palette colours to those chosen by the client:
Palette 1 = #279d00
Palette 2 = #666600
Palette 3 = #00ff00 (yellow)
Background set to #ffffff (white)

The top of the pages look great. It works well for the client - they sell specialist timbers and want a 'green' look.

HOWEVER, palette 3 is also used to define the colour of the link variables above, and yellow on white is not a good idea for clarity!

I have searched the guides, help and this forum for clues on redefining the links in the "Page_Footer" as shown above.

I have looked at the .css and did a 'find' "Page_Footer" and tried altering what I took to be the correct bit but it didn't work.... I have now spent several hours on this problem...HELP!!!!

Primarily I want to achieve keeping the colours as defined by the Palettes1,2&3 for the overall page appearance but would like to change the colours of the actinic:variable name= in the Page_Footer area only

Alternatively, if the link colour cant be changed in Page_Footer can the background colour of the Page_Footer area be changed?

PS: any response will be appreciated but I will not be able to give thanks until Saturday - I'm off to a dark nether world where they don't have internet!

Many thanks

In the CSS (reached by selecting Actinic Stylesheet in the dropdown box on the Design tab), you find a LINK FORMATTING section, where link-footer colour is specified as Pallette3. Click on Pallette3, right click, Insert Variable, type P to move down into the right area and then select Pallette2.

That should give you the contrast you want.

If not, then replace the Pallette3 with the correctly formatted CSS colour code - e.g. #999999.

Repeat for each state of the link (hover, active, visited...).

Thank you Bill
After spending hours trying to find the section that defined that colour, you reply led me there inside 1 minute!
Great reply!
