Hi!

I have a problem with the backgroundcolor of the menu dropdown. Viewing on the front end the color is white so links that also are white cant be seen.

joomla30.meraplus.se/joomla30/

Looking at it in Thememagic it is the correct greenish color @secondary that can be seen at youre preview site.

I am a newbie working with joomlabamboo templates so its probably some rookie mistake on my part.

Did you compile to css using the

"compile LESS to CSS" button?

I had not compiled to css. Now I have done it but the problem is still there.

Tried it also in chrome and cleared cashe.

Another strange thing is that in Thememagic the third level dropdown is shown under the second level. Not in a new box to the right. I dont care about that but it is still strange that there is a difference.

And you have the theme selected that you want to display - I have been know to forget that bit

As an alternative to thememagic

Try adding these lines to your custom.css file

#navwrap ul.nav .dropdown-menu a {color: #000;}
#navwrap ul.nav .dropdown-menu a:hover {color:#ccc;}

You may well want to change the hex values

Well i have found the problem.

media/jui/css/bootstrap.min.css on line 439 makes a override and sets background-color: #FFFFFF;

When i turn that off background-color: #809C9F; from template.css row 2291 shows up. If it only had been !important :)

Strange, one would think the template would override the core. Maby there is some plugin on this clients install that screws things up.

Since I am lazy and havent decided on the theme I tried the t3 injection instead of custom.css and injected:

<style type="text/css">
.dropdown-menu {
background-color: #809C9F !important;
}
</style>

into the <head>

It worked. Thank you for you're assistance.
