Customizing Themes

[Jim]

I am attempting to customize several FP2003 themes, and
can customize all theme elements but hyperlinks. I am
unable to find regular, active, and visited hyperlinks in
the Style list. I go to Customize/Text/More Text
Styles/Styles and within Styles; there are more than 300
text styles that start with the four-character prefix
of .ms-.
Is there a knowledge based article, sdk, etc. that
defines these text style names? If not, which ones are
used to modify regular, active, and visited hyperlinks?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Jim

For starters:

1. On the Themes dialog box, click Text.
2. In the Custopmzie Theme dialog box, click the More Text
Styles button.
3. Under List, select HTML Tags.
4. Set the Styles selection to a, a:hover, a:link, or
a:visited, then click Modify to set the properties
you want.

Otherwise, get a load of this:

Cascading Style Sheets Class Definitions for
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
en-us/spptsdk/html/tsovCSSStyles.asp

If nothing else, it provides a script that help you
identify identify which CSS class is applied to a
specified element.

After you add this script to a page and display the page
in IE, a floating window displays the CSS selector of
whatever element is below the mouse pointer.
(Note, however, that if you have
<td class="awe"><p>Awesome</p></td>
it'll be very hard to get the mousepointer over the <td>
and not over the <p>.)
