custom css tweaks

Sorry for the delayed response, but for some reason I didn’t get notified of this question.

As always, FireFox’s Firebug is very definitely your best friend in this sort of situation. But most modern browsers have perfectly adequate developer tools built-in nowadays, and any of them should be able to provide enough information for you to be able to tell which particular styles are being applied to any element. That should be enough for you to be able to dynamically add your own style in order to override colour (for example). Just adding !important is not always enough, because you also have to consider the specificity of the rule you’re applying, versus the specificity and importance of the rule(s) already being applied.

If you have a live site I could look at – with guidance as to exactly what should be changed to what – then I could take a look?
