Question [SOLVED] Category Text Color on default template

I have been working on changing the color scheme much more dramatically than when the backend templete manager allows. I have been using firebug to try and pinpoint necessary colors, such as the Category background color.. But all that appears in firebug for the text field is this:
Code:
<h2> <span> <a rel="follow" title="" href="/CMS/index.php/forum/index/1-main-forum">Main Forum</a>
Maybe it's the wrong area, it's all that seems to be coming up though in firebug.. I don't know what to do with that information.. Doesn't seem to be pointing to a file/css/field that I can readily search for and set a font text color to!

Help?

Using Firebug isn't always the easiest thing to do but there's a little bit of help in the Wiki article Firebug .

What you should do look at the container for the <a rel=follow ...> HTML tag. You will find that the container for the category description is <div class="kheader"> and the style for that container is
Code:
#Kunena div.kblock > div.kheader, #Kunena .kblock div.kheader { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #5388B4 !important; }
Therefore, if you want to change this blue colour to green, for example, you would add the following lines to your Joomla site template CSS file:
Code:
#Kunena div.kblock > div.kheader, #Kunena .kblock div.kheader { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 green !important; }
I hope that helps

Really appreciate it - I'll give it a try and see what happens :)

One q for ya though about this - I did possibly you mention similar reply for another similar topic (it wasn't category text, but it was a text of some type). Why does that have to be done in the actual Joomla Template, and not in the Kunena's template? Is there a way to keep it exclusive to the Kunena template so that Joomla template use/selection has no effect on Kunena? (In other words so it doesn't matter what Joomla template is being run, or if I share a future template for Kunena without having to explain 'complicated' additional stuff that would have to be done). Just curious why it is the way it is.. :)

Bah - I must've not gotten it nailed down.. I don't think it shows text color anywhere (in firebug at least). I made that change, but it changed the category header backgrounds (for all) to green, not the text (text is still a dark blue/gray) color. Any idea on the character text?

Sorry, I thought that's what you wanted to do. My mistake.

You need to change the color attribute of the Kunena [HTML] <A> tag style. Can you do without any further help?

I hate to keep pestering, but I'd be telling a lie if I said 'yes'. That said, I will know after instructed, and suspect it might be quite beneficial down the road to altering other things :) Tnx for the time, really appreciate it!

The answer may depend on what you've got for your Joomla site template: see My Joomla site template makes a mess of Kunena . What's the URL of your forum? What colour do you want to make the <A ...> font colour?

The forums area located at www.swgmemories.com/CMS/index.php/forum/index

You'll note the dark blue'ish category backgrounds with some dark'ish text, maybe a gray or browish color. I would like to make that #00dda1. You do need to log in to see the forums - I'll send you a PM with that info. Thanks again!

Also wondering if this bit of edited code will make the Profile header area the correct color or if I need to edit/create more code for that?

I don't know if this is what you want to do, but add the following three lines to the end of the file ../templates/beez_20/css/general.css:
Code:
#Kunena h2, div.ktitle-desc { color: #00dda1 !important; }
