Change Text Color in Vader Style on the K2 Theme

This information is intended for WordPress K2 Theme users playing around with the included Vader style.

I was modifying the Vader.css for a site. I could not figure out how to change the text color for the posts. The style “right out of the box” has a gray text color on a black background which, in my opinion, is uncomfortable to read. I’m not a big fan of light text on a dark background anyway, but the default text color in Vader is really bad.

As it turns out, the text color is coming from style.css and not being changed by vader.css at all.

Add this to vader.css to change the text color:

.entry-content {
color: #999999;
}

“#999999” works well or you can go lighter yet – just play with it. Hope this helps if you are exasperated and out searching. Leave me a comment if you found this post helpful. 🙂

    Thnx for sharing this ,man. It took me hours going through the css to locate a fix. Next issue is how to change the color on the text in the sidebars.

    PLEASE NOTE — I no longer use the K2 theme or Vader style. I’m leaving the post here just in case anyone out there may still need the information.
