Can someone tell me how to make the background of the slideshow on my homepage white? And why are my links bold green when clicked on and on that page? How can I change that? Thanks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m new to this and just learning css but I know html pretty well. Where can you edit the html code? And still why are my links bold green when I’m on the page?

.slideshow-window {
background-color: inherit;
border: inherit;
}

I tried this code with the hex code for white and just the word white and it didn’t work. Is there a property that should go before .slideshow?

a) The post Tess linked to is a workaround for users who don’t have the Custom Design upgrade. Since you have the upgrade, to remove the slideshow bg you add this in the CSS editor:
```
.slideshow-window {
    background-color: transparent !important;
    border: 0 none !important;
}
```
b) Add this and change the hex:
```
nav[role="navigation"] li.current-menu-item a, nav[role="navigation"] li.current-menu-parent a {
    color: #456789;
}
```

You’re welcome.
Please remove this line from the above:
margin-left: 20px;
It seemed necessary when I previewed the change in Firebug, but the live result is different.

(edited to remove the code by tess)

Okay, I edited the post to remove the “margin-left: 20px;”
That should make this thread correct.
