I want to change the style on DNN skin objects so I can modify the color of the links.  It seems if I create a new style class and then call it, I get a default skin object link style.  This also happens if I remove the style entirely, which I did just to verify that somehow, there's a default style being set.

What is forcing a default style even if I make another class and correctly call it from the HTML Source Code.

I've listed here 1) The default CSS where I have added a class; 2) where I'm trying to modify this in the Minimal Extropy skin, which I've copied the Index.ascx and created TMP_Index.ascx; 3) Where I've tried changing it in the skin object .ascx file just for verifying that there is a default someplace overriding any changes.

1)  I've found this style in the default.css:

.SkinObject
{
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 8.5pt;
    color: #003366;
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    text-decoration: none;
}

-- I am adding my own copy of the style:
/*
    TMP Skin Objects
*/
.TMPWhiteSkinObject
{
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 8.5pt;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    text-decoration: none;
}

2)  However, when I modify the skin object as follows, the style does not override for some reason:

<table>
                                        <tr>
                                            <td style="padding-right:20px; ">
                                                <div>
                                                    <a href="" style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF;">Contact Us</a>
                                                </div>
                                                <div>
                                                    <a href="" style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF;">About TMP</a>
                                                </div>
                                            </td>
                                            <td>
                                                <div>
                                                    <dnn:PRIVACY runat="server" id="PRIVACY2" CssClass="TMPWhiteSkinObject" /> <-- Right here, this does not override the style.
                                                </div>
                                                <div>
                                                    <dnn:TERMS runat="server" id="TERMS2" />
                                                </div>
                                            </td>
                                        </tr>
                                    </table>

3)  As well, at the control level itself, I tried both removing the style reference as well as changing it:

<%@ Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Controls.Terms" CodeFile="Terms.ascx.vb" %>
<asp:hyperlink id="hypTerms" runat="server" cssclass="SkinObject" <-- Changing or removing the style does the same thing
enableviewstate="False"></asp:hyperlink>

The Privacy skin object has an attribute CssClass:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/LinkClick.a...
Which lets you overrule the default class

You should set that in your skin, not in the ascx of the skin object itself.

Also when I click this link I get an error.  I think the entire link did not make it through to me.
