Menu text color

I have a feeling this may fall under the 'customizations' that are not supported, so please let me know, if this is the case.

I'm looking to change the font colour in the frosty menu - I just need it to be something darker than grey (please see attachment). We work with a number of people with dyslexia and other visual problems and the feedback has been that the menu is not easily visible as the contrast between text and background isn't high enough.

I've seen a number of posts but most are to do with more dramatic changes to the theme, which I don't need and there also seems to be a lot of confusion between whether this is done in the site template or the easysocial theme.

Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Adam,

Perhaps you can try apply this following css code in your current template css file and see how it goes?

body div#fd.es .es-mainnav > li > a {

    color: grey;

}


By the way, we normally do not provide customization support as outlined in http://stackideas.com/support.

Sadly no, still grey.

Also, I do understand your point about customization; which is why I said; "I have a feeling this may fall under the 'customizations' that are not supported, so please let me know, if this is the case."

Thanks anyway.

Hi Adam,

Perhaps you can provide us with your site url instead so we can inspect the css element directly?

By the way, please remember to assign your domain to your license to obtain for support in the future. You can do so by accessing your license area at http://stackideas.com/dashboard .

Maybe it was tired eyes or maybe it just needed time, but it appears to be working now!

I did create a custom.css in the css folder that contains just the code above as well as adding the code to the template.css, thinking it couldn't hurt to try - I've changed this to see which one is actually working and will post here as soon as I know in case it is useful to someone.

Site is http://www.everypro.net should you still want to inspect css (I hasten to add it's early days in terms of design)

Many thanks for your help I really appreciate it especially as this sort of support is outside what you typically offer; it's the sign of a good company and a great support network that people are prepared to offer this.

That was great !

If that was not working, perhaps you can provide us with your login frontend credentials so that we can inspect that toolbar menu part.

Update:

custom.css in the template css folder works, just seems to take a bit of time to update.

I believe that was cache issue, after you applied some new css in custom.css file, you have to clear Joomla and browser cache, so it will reload again the new css.

Keep us updated if you need other further assistance in the future.
