   Hi,

   Thanks for this great theme!

   I just want to change my link colors in my blog posts and sidebar widgets -- how do I do that? Couldn't find on stylesheet....

   Thanks,

   posts - the red links:
   the link color, in pansy.css (quite at the beginning)
   

   a {
   	color: #e86100;
   }

   generally, the hover states, in style.css:
   

   a {
   	text-decoration: none;
   }
   
   a:hover {
   	text-decoration: underline;
   }

   and just in case, in pansy.css:
   

   .post-title a {
   	color: #730039;
   }
   
   .post-title a:hover {
   	color: #15302e;
   }

   sidebar: (for instance the 'dating' link under categories; and almost all other links)
   in pansy.css:
   

   #sidebar ul li a,#home ul li a {
   	color: #474747;
   }
   
   #sidebar ul li a:hover,#home ul li a:hover {
   	color: #15302e;
   }

   sidebar, deeper nested list: (for instance the 'communication' link under 'dating' under categories)
   in pansy.css:
   

   #sidebar ul li ul li ul li a,#home ul li ul li ul li a {
   	color: #474747;
   }

   btw: links have the letter 'a' in style sheets, and there is a limited amount of them; not easy to miss.

   Thank you so much for your quick, informative reply! I thought it was the 'a', but didn't want to bring everything crumbling down around my ears :-)

   Just I would recommend:

   Save your modified file on a folder outside the theme's folder with a new name like 'dating.css'. This will prevent to lose your changes when upgrading the theme.

   Create a file named 'alkivia.ini' in your wp-content folder and write this on it:

   [chameleon]
   custom-palettes-dir = /home/user/http/palettes
   custom-palettes-url = http://sample.com/palettes

   Of course, the directory and URL will depend on where you set the custom palettes folder :)

   After doing that, go to theme options and select the new 'dating' palette.
