  The current highlight on the calendar for dates with posts is very faint (barely visible). Could I alter that in CSS (and make it darker or different? If so, what text would I add to make that possible?

  Thanks a bunch.

  I don’t have access to the customized Watson theme. However using some developer tools I can see that the CSS rule that is governing the text color and underline of the calendar dates is:

  aside[role=”complementary”] a {
  color: #858585;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
  }

  I’d just leave the “aside” line as-is but change color to color:#000; and border-bottom to 1px solid #000;

  in other words we’re changing the color of the date and color of the underline to black

  If that doesn’t do it, remove that code from your CSS and come back here and post your question again.

  Cheers!

  That works. The numbers are darker and the underscore is darker. Better to see them with! Thank you!

  If only I knew more about CSS.

  Thanks again!
