    I think this is an issue with the built-in theme called "Lacquer." The default href color for is too light for the white background that wiki pages have, so I'd like to change that color. However, I can't find where to edit that theme, since I don't see a reference to an external style sheet.

     

    Does anyone know where I would directly change the color of all links in a site theme? Going through each wiki page to specify the link color manually would work, but is obviously not ideal.

     

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the help, looks like the Lacquer theme on mine does have it's own css wiki link color, it was just the class named ".ms-wikicontent a {..." in the folder  ../<subsite>/_themes/Lacquer/Lacq1011-65001.css

    I changed that from the light orange color it was, to a dark blue that is more visible on a white background, so it's fixed.

    From a quick look at the Lacquer theme it's css file is not overridding the settings for the wiki link class (ms-wikilink) so it's using the value from CORE.CSS instead.

     

    You could modify the therme.css in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\THEMES\LACQUER to include a setting for ms-wikilink so it'll have whatever color you choose.

    I am trying to do the same thing as web-develoepr. Can you help me tracking down the right style sheet? I only find theme.css in my LACQUER folder. If I change the color code of ms-wikicontent a, it doesn't change the link color.

    Many thanks in advance!

    This is the style you need to add to your Theme.css file

    .ms-wikicontent a.ms-wikilink
    {
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#ae0a11;
    }

    I changed the default to blue...works great

    .ms-wikicontent a.ms-wikilink a:link
    {
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#00008B;
    }

    HOWEVER.....

    for visited links I am doing:

    .ms-wikicontent a.ms-wikilink a:visited
    {
    color:#800080;
    }

    But it isnt working...The color is still the am I missing something? The color is still blue
