Hi all. I am modifying the Wintermute theme for color matching and I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. The Wintermute theme, in the header.thtml file does not call {menu_elements} for the Geeklog menu. Instead, it has a series of static links. So I want to replaces the static links with {menu_elements} and override the default link colors due to the menu background color.

Here is the original section from the Wintermute header.thtml:
Text Formatted Code
  <TBODY>
  <TR>
    <TD bgColor=#000000 colSpan=4><IMG height=1 alt="" hspace=0
      src="{layout_url}/images/pixel.gif" width=1 border=0></TD></TR>
  <TR vAlign=center bgColor=#2c3941>
    <TD align=left width="75%" height=20 class=blocktitle>  <B><A
class="blocktitle2"
      href="{site_url}">Home</A>  ·  <A class="blocktitle2"
      href="{site_url}/submit.php?type=story">Submit news</A>
       ·  <A class="blocktitle2"
      href="{site_url}/links.php">Links</A>
       ·  <A class=blocktitle2
      href="{site_url}/pollbooth.php">Polls</A>
       ·  <A class=blocktitle2
      href="{site_url}/calendar.php">Calendar</A>
       ·  <A class=blocktitle2
      href="{site_url}/search.php">Advanced Search</A>
       ·  <A class=blocktitle2
      href="{site_url}/stats.php">Stats</A>


 </B></FONT></TD>
 


And here is how I have modified it:
Text Formatted Code
  <TBODY>
  <TR>
    <TD bgColor=#000000 colSpan=4><IMG height=1 alt="" hspace=0
      src="{layout_url}/images/pixel.gif" width=1 border=0></TD></TR>
  <TR vAlign=center bgColor=#152092>
<td align="left" width="70% height=20 valign="middle" class=blocktitle3><a class=blocktitle3>{menu_elements}</a></td>
 


In order to speficy how the menu links should appear, I have created sections in my style.css template for the following classes:

Text Formatted Code
.blocktitle3 {

color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #cccc5f;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;

font-weight: bold;

font-family: trebuchet, verdana, tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;

}

a.blocktitle3:link {

color: #cccc5f;
background-color: #cccc5f;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

font-family: trebuchet, verdana, tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;

}

a.blocktitle3:visited {

font-family: trebuchet, verdana, tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

color: #000000;

text-decoration : none;

}
a.blocktitle3:hover {

font-family: trebuchet, verdana, tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

color: #cccc5f;

text-decoration : none;

}
 


From what I understand, the above settings should be applied to links whenever the blocktitle3 class is specified. But no matter what I do to the color values in the above template, nothing changes in the page.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

Colors of the links seems to be in .navbar class.
