   OK, I need help with my calendar. I have a few themes installed and the calendar looks different in all of them. I'm wondering how I make the calender in theme X look like the calender in theme Y... I'm just looking for the right section of the right file to edit (or copy & paste).

   Anyone know what I'm talking about?

   TIA!

   Ben

   Generally the calendar styling is in the style.css file, but a link to the blog would help verify that in your particular case.

   In this case it looks like you are pulling the calendar styling from http://www.benjacobsen.com/wp-content/plugins/ajax-calendar2/calendar.css.

   Now if you use this stylesheet in other themes as well and the calendar looks different, it's likely that your calendar styles are inheriting certain attributes from parent styles.

   For instance if in each template the font is different, the calendar is probably getting it's base font from the sidebar or body font of the overall theme.

   yeah, the calender looks identical regardless of the use of that plugin though. I just used that to hopefully fix it, but it's the same (only with a new drop down)...

   it's those fruity starts I need to get rid of... They throw off the alignment in the calendar.

   That little star is made up of 2 graphics in your template's style.css: sidelink.gif and sidelinkhov.gif

   #sidebar ul li a has a background image of sidelink.gif
   and
   #sidebar ul li a:hover has a background of sidelinkhov.gif

   plus each has some margins that allow room for the star.

   wow, so I was on the right track originally...
   I just renamed them (which I'd tried before) then a magical cache clear made it work...

   now I just need to play with my links so they show up better (bold?). Thanks!

   All your links or just the ones in the sidebar?

   If you just want to change the ones in the sidebar you just need to go back to the "#sidebar ul li a" section and add "font-weight:bold;"
