Can't change text color

I can't change the color of the type in "text1" or "text2." Is it changed under "background_color" under the respective menu?

Also, how do you change the color of the "Gallery Menu" text?

You should be able to set it strictly from the CSS file. Keep in mind it may be set from one or more location, as in the following example:
Code
.text_1 {
	color: #FFFFFF;
}
.text_1_description {
	color: #990000;
}
text_1 represent the style for the entire text_1 block of text, while text_1_description represents the style for only the description-text in the text_1 textblock. A textblock(text_1, text_2 etc.) may be built from multiple text items, for example: imageindex, title, description.

In the example above, the default color for the entire textblock is set to white(FFFFFF). However, the color for the description part of the textblock is set to red(99000). The attribute set in the text_1_description will win over the color set in text_1, unless you remove the setting in the text_1_description.

Still problems? Have a link?

Karl... thanks for following up on this. However, please be a little clearer, as I'm still a bit confused as to where/how to enter this code.

Is the CSS file in the admin or is that something I have to edit outside the admin? I see the "css" folder in the imagevue folder, but is there a specific file in there I need to edit? I'm just not too well versed in coding and would appreciate some more specific help on how to change these colors.

Cheers!

You edit the CSS file from the admin. Click "Themes" -> select theme to "Edit" -> select "Edit theme stylesheet" in right panel. You will see a standard CSS file which is used for textformatting in the theme. I will create an extended technical article on the Imagevue CSS soon...

Currently nothing - It's for an alternative menumodule I was working on, but currently it will have to wait =)
