Changing Vote Text Color

[KevinChristman]

Hi guys, I'm using the Arthemia template and am trying to change the color of the vote button text to white. So far I've managed to get the hover color and the "Voted" text to turn white. I want all of the text to be white. The link, clicked link, the regular text, the hover text, everything. I've tried changing the CSS in a million different ways to make this happen but it's not working. Here is the part I'm changing in the style.css of the Arthemia template.

.vote {
width:40px;
float: left;
margin:4px 10px 0 0;
padding: 4px 7px 0 7px;
text-align: center;
font-size:12px;
color:#FFF;
border:1px solid #000;
background:#44902a;
}
.vote a{text-decoration:none;}
.vote a:hover{color:#FFF;}
.vote a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}
.votetext {
font-size:10px;
margin:0;padding:0;
font-weight:bold;
background:#44902a;
}
.votenumber {
font-size: 14px;
height:17px;
font-weight:bold;
background:#44902a;
}

Any ideas?

God damn the support sucks on this forum.

Maybe you should learn the proper definition of support.
Asking for free customization is not support. We are not here to provide you with free customization. If you are not able to do your own customizations, you are welcome to hire someone to do it for you. Also, it's the holiday season and most people are on vacation. Assuming the developers should sit here and provide you with free customizations over Christmas is pretty selfish in my opinion.
Cussing and swearing is not going to get you anywhere. It will most likely get you banned.

Why don't you try full colour code #FFFFFF instead of #FFF, and dont forget to clear the cache couple of times and your browser as well.

Thanks for the attempted help, sibehet. Didn't work for me but I appreciate you taking the time to try and answer the question instead of writing a useless response.

Anyway, great idea. I'll hire someone to add two short lines to a CSS file. Whose interested? $0.50 sound good for that kind of work? Thanks for suggesting that chuckroast.

Editing cascading style sheets is not hard.
I hate when people complain because of their own refusal to learn.

I ended up figuring this out myself. Search google for CSS links and you should be able to figure it out.

The color #3C787A comes from

a:link, a:visited

so every a tag get's this color by default. The vote text color is inherited.

You can try the following in the CSS.

#front-list .vote a { color: #000; } /* for black, #000 equals #000000 */
