Blend with Joomla Template illegible -- Cheap Fix was created by eogen

So, I found everything except the color scheme of the default template to work for my site.

I selected 'Blend with Joomla Template' on the Edit Template page-- and that made a pretty good job of it, except the Forum Header blocks were still blue -- which just did not work with the 'Parchment' background.

So, on the same page, I set the "Forum Header Background" parameter to an appropriate background color, and that was nice, except that it also changed the foreground colors of all the links to be the background color of the Forum Headers.

Sigh.

I found the following bit of code in the 'initialize.php' file:

Code:

if ($forumHeader) {
        $styles .= <<<EOF

        #Kunena div.kblock > div.kheader,#Kunena .kblock div.kheader { background: {$forumHeader} !important; }
        #Kunena #ktop { border-color: {$forumHeader}; }
        #Kunena #ktop span.ktoggler { background: {$forumHeader}; }
        #Kunena #ktab a:hover,
        #Kunena #ktab li.Kunena-item-active a   { background-color: {$forumHeader}; }
        #Kunena #ktab ul.menu li.active a { background-color: {$forumHeader}; }
        #Kunena a:link,
        #Kunena a:visited,
        #Kunena a:active {color: {$forumHeader};}
        #Kunena a:focus {outline: none;}
        #Kunena a:hover {color: #FF0000;}
EOF;
}

Now, that block seems to be setting the link foreground and the background color to the same thing. And its my experience -- call it personal taste, that the foreground and background colors should not be the same thing.

After copying the default template to my own name, I modified the initialize.php to remove the following lines from the above block, and this left me exactly as I wanted.

Code:

        #Kunena a:link,
        #Kunena a:visited,

I put this out there in the event that this helps someone else.
