change color of active menu item was created by profX

Posted 9 years 4 months ago #5930
hi there,

just bought the galeria template and it works great!

But I have one issue:
I'd like to change the text color of the active menu item in my left sidebar navigation.
The active menu item should be #d33d33 - but it stays #000, no matter what I do.

Unfortunately I can't find the matching css class - alltough I used firebug and modified different styles in different css files (I think it hould be in the "white.css" of the sidebar).

the url of the deveolpoment site is: s522957826.online.de/trial1415719026/

could you please give me a hint, what changes in which css file I have to apply?

Regards
Oliver

The active color of the menu can be changed at the css files >> css / colors / colorfile.css
But never change the org css files.
Search the css code via Firebug and insert the color code into your custom.css, like this

.menu-dropdown li.active .level1 {
background-color: #f9f9f9;
color: #000;
}

thanx for the quick reply.

I tried that in the first place - unfortunately no effect...

any other idea?

- wait - just discovered I had a vertical menu module in the "menu" position - I changed it to "sidebar" - now it's totally different. Perhaps this is the solution. I'll have a closer look...

Hi,

still no success - my menu looks like the one on the demo site but
there is no border for the active menu item. I can't find the solution.
CSS files are original, but it doesn't highlight the active item.

I posted the link to the website above - could you please have a look
and give me a hint, why this just doesn't work?

my template style is default and my theme color is red. sidebar color is white.

I really need help on this one!

Additional Info:
In the Demo the active menu item is css classes:
ul class="menu menu-dropdown">
<li class="level1 item101">
<li class="level1 item102 parent active current">
<a class="level1 parent active current" href="/jp_galeria/theme-features.html">

on my website it is just:
<ul class="menu menu-dropdown">
<li class="level1 item">
<li class="level1 item">
that means theres is no number to identify the single items and there is no current item that a style could be assigned to - who comes?

Hi again, you have changed the red.css and did a mistake!
Sorry but we do not supporting any custom made mistakes.

Copy the org red.css file into the css / color folder and it should works.

And please do not touch the org files again, please insert your custom code into the custom.css

all original css files are in place, cache is cleared - still the same issue - it doesn't count the menu items and cause of this
there is no current or active item just a lot of "menu item level1"...

still a "custom made mistake"?

I think, in the end all support questions are somehow custom made mistakes - wrong settings etc. - otherwise the product you sell would be of no good quality...

I really hope you want to do support instead of accusing
