menu buttons are black text

[hellbent64]

i finally got the buttons to show up on my custom theme menu bar, but they are in black instead of white.  it is very hard to read.  is there a setting to change the text color?

"Gallery Picasa Gallery Fishy Shop Contact" are off centered and black.  any suggestions?

i am using a theme called blue23 but its been modified.
v 1.1.13

The extra menu items aren't wrapped in <li></li> dealios. Look in the index.template.php file for that theme, specifically the template_menu() function. If you want to attach that file to a reply, I could have a look at it too.

i cant access the file from here, but i can edit it.  i see what you mean, but where do i put in the <li> tags?

Replace all of that with this:

Code Select Expand

   // the [SMF Gallery] button
   if ($context['allow_smfgallery_view'])
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'gallery' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">' , $txt['smfgallery_menu']  , '</a></li>';
     
   // the [picasagallerybrowser] button
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'picasagallerybrowser' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=picasagallerybrowser">' , $txt['picasa_gallery']  , '</a></li>';
           
   //Begin SMFShop code
   //loadLanguage("shop");
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'shop' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">Fishy Shop</a></li>';
   //END SMFShop code

   // the [contact] button
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'contact' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=contact">' , $txt['smfcontact_contact']  , '</a></li>';

   // If the user is a guest, show [login] button.
   if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'login' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=login">' , $txt[34] , '</a></li>';

   // If the user is a guest, also show [register] button.
   if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'register' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">' , $txt[97] , '</a></li>';

   // Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
   if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'logout' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">' , $txt[108] , '</a></li>';
   echo '
           </ul>';
The theme you are using constructs the menu using <li> elements rather than <td> elements.
