I've found that the styles for the LEFTPANE is controlled by container.css (is this correct?)   But what is the style id or class that controls the font type for the links? I've considered ".side-menu" but it doesn't seem to be it. All the other A:__ styles define only font size, font colors, and font decorations. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also, what and where is the file for the layout of the LEFTPANE?  I've looked at ..\admin\Containers\ folder, but it just doesn't seem to be in there.

I do the full source version of DNN.


Thanks in advance for any info.

The container is for the title, border etc for the modules.
If you cannot change the layout in the leftpane there are probably soem definitions that are more specific (mostly in default.css)
So your css has to be more specific. By the way the leftpane would be: #dnn_Leftpane

Thank you for your reply, Timo.

I have looked over default.css (veeeery carefully). Nope, I don't see anything that is likely to affect the look of the fonts for the LEFTPANE content. I experimented by changing up things like font size & font colour, but to no avail.

My LEFTPANE is actually a Text/HTML module, and the content is actually a list of hyperlinks. I am trying to change the fonts for my hyperlinks. Any ideas?

BTW, #dnn_Leftpane doesn't look like a file name . . . in which folder can I find this?  I ask because I would like to check out what stylesheet classes are being reference so that I may have some clues as to changing the fonts.


Thanks again!

Hi

#dnn_Leftpane is not a filename it's the class the leftpane should get.
There's definition for the <a> tags in general in default.css, but you can overwrite this, either for all your pages by duplicating them and rewrite te values in you skin.css or you can add something like this:

#dnn_Leftpane a
    { color:#FF0000;
   etc.
    }

To your skin.css file, by the way, please don't forget, for (especially for IE) you should overwrite the a:hover, a:link, a:visited values too.

Hope this helps

Hello, Timo. Thanks again for your suggestions and assistance!


I've spent the whole day trying to figure things out . . .

My challenge is that I have come in to manage (and most likely further develop) a DNN site that is built by some other people. It seems that there are a number of places which can be served as the source for styles, and these styles can be overwritten by a source that is more local to the target. If I was the one who built the site from the beginning, then I would know what & where everything is & how everything is referenced. But unfortunately, I am not!

Using #dnn_Leftpane works partially because apparently there is some other more-local overwriting involved. So I just will have to find things out veeeery slowly.  

BTW, what do .SkinObject  and  A.SkinObject:link  (in skin.css) affect?


Thanks again!
jc
