Right now all the text in the sidecolumns in Calibra is white. My client would like to make the sidecolumn backgrounds lighter, so now I want to change the color of all the sidecolumn text (header, body, etc.) for better contrast. I'm wondering, how can I accomplish this in Calibra?

(I tried the suggested customcss fix for the Metropolis theme, but that didn't work for Calibra.)

Thanks in advance!

To partly answer my own question...

I found some custom css in another post here in the forums, which partly solved the issue. I pasted this into the custom css box:

.sidecol_block h3, .sidecol_block a {
color: #5a2149 !important;
}

.sidecol_block .module ul.menu a, .sidecol_block .module_menu ul.menu a, .sidecol_block .module a {
color: #000000 !important;
}

.sidecol_block {
color: #000000 !important;
}

The only thing I'd like to do now is to change:
text link color
link hover color

Any thoughts on what I would need to add to get that to work correctly?

Hello

To set the side column link and hover color try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters, editing to your own taste where #FFFFFF is the link color and #CCCCCC the hover color...


.sidecol_block .module ul.menu a, .sidecol_block .module_menu ul.menu a, .sidecol_block .module a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.sidecol_block .module ul.menu a:hover, .sidecol_block .module_menu ul.menu a:hover, .sidecol_block .module a:hover {
color: #CCCCCC !important;
}

Thank you ciaran. That worked perfectly.

As an aside, I'm really happy with the template. It's been super simple to customize and tweak.

Your backing things up with quick support like this makes things even better. Thanks!
