Do you happen to know why the default theme does not honor the user's link colors? It used to. I haven't used it in years though. But with the recent changes and the garish, very hard on the eyes, way too much red color (a little is fine more is not OK) of the Candian theme I have used for years, I decided to try the default theme again as I always liked it and there is not another theme that I can stand. I think all the themes are really ugly except Canadian (until these changes) and default.

But when I tried default yesterday, it would not honor my link colors in Fx and would only do so in IE if I lost all frames here. How would I get the default theme to honor my chosen link colors? (I don't want any blue. I use green and purple as my link colors and those are honored in all browsers using the Canadian theme).

BTW, I can't see any difference at all in the link blue color that you show in your screenshots. They are very light, almost impossible to read and in fuzzy font, not true font, on both your screenshots.

Using Fx myself and my link colors are being used.

Do not know what your Fx issue is but you can always put some .css code in your userContent.css file and all sites will use the link colors you specify.

Edit* In case yo udo not feel like looking for the .css here is mine. Change the colors to to suit your needs.

Remember userContent.css file.
