Title:
Add additional color specifications for anchor tags in Transmogrified

Area:
styles

Summary:
There are link color areas in Transmogrified which are not controlled through the wizard color options, but only via CSS. These links should be brought under wizard control.

Description:
The way the Transmogrified wizard currently works, color is only defined for links in the entries/comments, modules, header, and footer. Links which appear anywhere else use the browser's default, which is unpredictable and may result in completely invisible color combos.

The wizard should be changed for greater control. The simplest solution is to define the anchor and anchor visited colors for the whole page (probably next to where one chooses "page text color".)

Alternately, more wizard controls for the text in more places could be added, although there may be a negative trade-off because too many choices are overwhelming.

Anchor tags not controlled by the wizard, listed by 900degrees http://getting-started.dreamwidth.org/42407.html
.navigation .inner a (The forward/backward links at the top of the journal)
.page-tags .tags-container .ljtaglist a (the tags on the tags page)
.page-tags .manage-tags-link a (the manage tags link on the tags page)
.page-entry .bottomcomment a (the navigation at the bottom of an entry page)
.page-archive .month .footer .inner a; .page-archive .month .day-has-entries a; .page-month .month dt a; .page-month .month .entry-title a; .page-month .month .tag a (various links on the archive and month views)

Especially since the properties are already there in the Core!

color_page_link
color_page_link_active
color_page_link_hover
color_page_link_visited

Transmo is simply not displaying them in the interface or using their values in its stylesheet. :/

Yes yes yes yes yes yes YES!

You had me at "These links should be brought under wizard control."

The rest is arcane gibberish to me, but, well, that's CSS for me.

Heh (which is to say, I agree with you about wizardly control).

Just doing this for all anchor tags, so that they apply to any links that don't have overriding CSS should be enough, right?

[zvi]

Yes, I believe so.
