How to change font colors

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I used Template Manager > Styles > responsive2 > Theme > Colors to set Primary, Secondary, Text, and Heading colors to 000000 (black) (see attachment 1).

However, article headings (H2 tag) display in color 010c14 (see attachment 2).

How do I effect a heading color change?

hmm odd

Can I just check you are changing the correct template style?

Paul, I used Template Manager > Styles > responsive2 > Theme > Colors.

For what it's worth, I've successfully changed other Responsive2 parameters. E.g., I've changed module widths via Template Manager > Styles > responsive2 > Layout > Widths.

How else might we troubleshoot this?

Hi Jim,

Do you have any non link heading tag examples as this style is applying?

a {color: #6eb5b5;}

Paul, you can see a non-linked heading at
test.chigov.com/chicago/administrative-regulatory/556-mayor-emanuel-protects-parking-meter-deal.html

Note that it displays as 010c14, but we the have Primary, Secondary, Text, and Heading colors set to 000000.

Sorry, I don't understand your reference to color #6eb5b5. We don't have that set anywhere that I can see.

Hi Jim,

With it being a link on the heading tag the link styling applies - the heading tag isn't any more specific than a

As the a tag appears later in the styling it applies

In a nutshell you need to add a line of css for a heading tag thats a link

h2.article-title a {color:#000;}
h2.article-title a:hover {color:red;}

using the colour values you want to use

Thanks, Paul. I get what you say about a heading tag that's a link.

But the page I sent last time has a non-link heading:
test.chigov.com/chicago/administrative-regulatory/556-mayor-emanuel-protects-parking-meter-deal.html

(This is typical of all our article pages.)

On that page, the heading and all text appear in color 010c14 (dark grey), but in Template Manager > Styles > responsive2 > Theme > Colors (screen shot attached) we the have Primary, Secondary, Text, and Heading colors set to c7326d (pink).

Why don't the Template Mgr settings have any effect?

Hi Jim,

Do you see any error in the console window when trying to save/compile the changes?

Are you able to change the body background colour? - as a test

The console displayed certain messages when I changed text colors.

Steps I took using Firefox:
1. In Template Manager > Styles > responsive2 > Theme > Colors, changed Primary, Body Background, and Text colors from yellow to c7326d (pink).
2. Clicked on red "Please save your changes" button.
3. Clicked on blue "Save and compile theme" button.
4. Clicked on white "Save and close" button.
5. Verified that Web pages do not reflect the color changes.
6. In console, found no messages in these areas: Database Searches > All Messages; Diagnostic and Usage Information > Diagnostic and Usage Messages; CrashReporter > firefox-bin.crash.log
7. In console, found these messages in Files > system.log:

Hi Jim,

I think we covered these potential issues on a different thread
If that's correct - could you open a ticket for this issue

Sorry, I'm not aware of having covered this issue in a different thread, Paul.

Do you still want me to open a ticket?

Hi Jim,

I obviously had a senior moment there

Have we been through this thread -

www.joomlabamboo.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=579&id=114065&Itemid=215

Do you have admin tools installed etc?

Paul,

We use Admin Tools v. 3.5.1, not Pro.

Regarding server execution time: The Stack Overflow thread that Anthony references sez to place certain code at the top of the PHP script--tho not in the file php.ini. Can you tell me in what directory this script typically resides?

Hi Jim,

I think it will be easier if you open a ticket so we can take a look
