I need to change the color of the text in my solpartmenu and have had no luck.  Can someone tell me how to do this.   Thanks...

Hello, You need to edit the .MainMenu_MenuItem class - try this in your skin.css file and you will see which elements of the solpart menu it affects.

I'm currently putting together a document (100page pdf and website) which outlines all of these classes and demonstrates with pictures how you can change the styling - to be released very soon!

.MainMenu_MenuItem
{
    cursor: pointer;
    color: black;
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    font-size: 15px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-style: normal;
    border-left: red 10px solid;          
    border-right: blue 10px solid;
    background-color: yellow;
}

This is how my .css file looks.

/*

.MainMenu_MenuItem {
 color: white;
}

However, my menu text is still black.  I have reloaded my skin with the .css file added to the zipped package.  Is there something else I need to do to make the .css file take effect?

It's working now, it must have been cached on the server.

great! - thats what I was going to say - whenever you make a change press refresh a couple of times. - A really useful tool is the web developers toolbar - I find it essential for testing and creating skins. - You can edit the CSS within the actual browser to test settings and there is also a button to clear the cache.

It's available for firefox and you can download it from: http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/
