Need dark font

As you can see the "77 days ago" is in a very light gray and I would like it to be a bit darker.  I tried to change what I thought the file was associated with it and it did nothing.

are you using an element inspector such as firebug (new versions of firefox and chrome come with one already installed). This will help you find exactly what css changes need to be made as you can change things and see the effects immediately without actually affecting the site.

Also - did you clear your cache after making your changes?

Yes I did use that function and found the line, but it seems to be an inherited trait.  See pic

look for this in your css files under your template:

.bx-def-font-grayed

i noticed that your element inspector displays the color codes differently, mine is shown in rgb formatting. But I changed this and it changed the color.

EDIT: just an fyi that I noticed. When looking at crazy things such as span, click on the line that has a class in it (in the element inspector). I have noticed that clicking on the line with the actual text wont bring up all the stuff for it.

I did find that code before and changed it and it doesn't change the color.  It says it is inherited so is this something I would have to find in the base css?  So confused.

did you clear your cache after changes were made

ok, in templates/base/css/default.css therei s this:

.bx-def-font-grayed {
    color:#666666;
}

you can either change this color here, or, if using a custom template, you could change it there.

So yes I have changed that about 100 times to 

.bx-def-font-grayed {

    color:#778899;

on both the base css and the template css and no change at all.  That is the clear area to change it cleaned the cache and even cleared my browser history and no dice lol.

is that the only color you attempted to use, what if you use #000000 or #ffffff, I dont know which one is for black - and seeing if that works.

I am throwing hail marys out there hoping someone will come in here and give the correct answer

The only other thing i can think of is maybe your cache isnt clearing completely - try deleting the contents of the cache folder - except for any .htaccess files. (and he punts)

Ensure that you change it also in your current template, such as Uni.

Also ensure you include the end curly brace } in the css file.

#000 is black

#FFF is white

#666 is a dark grey and should work fine

OK did figure it out it was a setting under a template.
