If you only want to change the color for that specific sentence, you would have to ad a new class to index/style.css file and change in (index.template.php) which class is used.
<ul class="reset">
<li class="greeting">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
The above code is where that is in index.template.php, play around with it :)
Thats exactly what capady said, but more easily explained lol

What you do is add a new class completely, thus not overriding anything.
for example, you want to change only the unred topics text so..
a:link, a:visited
{
color: #a2a2a2;
text-decoration: none;
}
Then add another class below that to get
a:link, a:visited
{
color: #a2a2a2;
text-decoration: none;
}
.unreadtopics{
color: your color here;
text-decoration: none;
}
Then go to the index.template.php file and...
<ul class="
reset">
<li class="
greeting">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
The bold parts are classes, mess around with that and you will see then, that will change the styles for unread and unread replies.
You would put
unreadtopics in place of the current classes above in bold.
arrrrr ok i just changed the reset not the 2nd one that what i was doing wrong :o

Make sure you add the class to your CSS file, I don't know which SMF version you have but css/index.css or style.css in the current theme you are using
i did what you said and I'm using smf 2.0RC3
but it still not changing it staying the link color!
and i get little white dots witch u can see in attchment
this is what i did in index.css
/* Normal, standard links. */
a:link, a:visited
{
color: #a2a2a2;
text-decoration: none;
}
.toplinks{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}
this is what in index.template.php
// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
if (!empty($context['user']['avatar']))
echo '
<p class="avatar">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '</p>';
echo '
<ul class="toplinks">
<li class="toplinks">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
// Is the forum in maintenance mode?
if ($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin'])
echo '
<li class="notice">', $txt['maintain_mode_on'], '</li>';
Oh Doh, I see my error, the class closes, it needs to be opened again, let me code it up right now, brb
Just restore the index.template the way it was before for now.
EDIT leave your CSS file the way it is and use this in index.template.php
echo '
<ul class="reset">
<li class="greeting">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li class="toplinks"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li class="toplinks"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
Put the greeting and reset class back the way they were :)
not working still :(
index.css
a:link, a:visited
{
color: #a2a2a2;
text-decoration: none;
}
.toplinks {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}
index.template.php
<ul class="reset">
<li class="greeting">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li class="toplinks"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li class="toplinks"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>';

Your saying its black that you want and your not getting that?
css is cached, so, empty your forum cache before testing this

how do i do that by refreshing the page?
if so i do that all the time
Admin - Maintenance - Forum Maintenance - Routine.
Then activate "Empty the file cache" at the bottom end.
I'm pretty sure the CSS is not in the forums cache, possibly your browsers cache though
Could you please post a link and details to a regular members temporary account so we can see?
Also, just to be sure, You are changing the index.css for the theme your currently using right?
that seems like it will change the bacground color not the text color

Deleted, that post belonged to another topic, sorry lol
That does work, I have tested it on my local hosted smf forum, I noticed you sent me a pm with a regular member login, I will see what I can do then..
EDIT, with the information you have provided, I have tried to change it myself, using web developer addon.
As far as I can see, looking at the source, you have added the class, but not added the edits to index.template.php
Attach both, make sure to attach the ones from the theme you are currently using.
./Themes/{current theme}/css/index.css
./Theme/{current theme}/index.template.php
Also, with your index.css
.toplinks
a:link, a:visited
{
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
it worked!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 8) :P
thanx so much!!!!!!!
Your Welcome, Glad you got what you wanted :)
