We set up S-Drive Stream for blog posts on my site awhile back, when we had brighter font colors. Then we took down the blog for awhile and toned down the font colors. But we just decided to put the blog back, while deleting a few posts that we didn't care for.

But the font colors are still the brighter shades and they don't appear to be being determined by style.css at our site.

So what determines them, and how can we tone down the remaining articles and future ones, to the same font colors the site has now?

It is under your S-Drive dashboard. You have to edit the CSS there to change the text. But be careful... It is hard to do and you could mess up your current setup by changing it. "An Apple doth not fall far from its tree, yet an orange does."

The only thing I find under the dashboard is themes.

I found http://www.coffeecup.com/sdrive/dashboa … customize/
and toned down the blues there, but it doesn't seem to effect the actual blog. Melissa Brookstone

I usually have to have this open while I mess with my Stream:

Whatever you do in Hardcore mode, if you don't save it, it won't take effect. So if you don't like what you see, just close out of it. If you do get it working how you want, save it! :D I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. (Douglas Adams)

OK thanks, I figured out how to change the colors, at least, but still not how to make all the post text a uniform sized font. I edited the CSS but still didn't get that. Melissa Brookstone

Have you tried changing the font size here?:
/* // Post Contents ------ */
.sdrive-stream-post-contents {
font: normal 15px/1.4 "Arial", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;


Also, it's easy to forget to hit the save button. I've done that a few times; got so into making all my changes that I exited Hardcore Mode without even thinking about it, so of course, none of my changes showed up :P I love deadlines.

Yeah I tried, but the titles font size doesn't seem to stay changed. And yes, I save it. Melissa Brookstone

but the titles font size....


Here's where I changed my post titles' size:
.sdrive-stream-post-title a {
color: #1e3560;
font: normal 18px/18px "Franklin Gothic Medium", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
.sdrive-stream-post-title a:hover {
color: #546376;
}


The px size was in there twice as above, so I changed both to 18px.

Where's all the CSS experts when you need 'em? :lol: I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. (Douglas Adams)

Mine looks like this, which is confusing:

.sdrive-stream-post-title {
margin:0;
padding:20px 20px 10px;
border-bottom:2px solid #aaa;
-moz-border-radius:10px 10px 0 0;
-webkit-border-radius:10px 10px 0 0;
font-size:19.2px; /* @S-Drive name:Header Font Size; min:18; max:72; */
color:#2a71a7; /* @S-Drive name:Header Font Color; */
background-color:#eeeeee; /* @S-Drive name:Accent Color; */

That is for the post title... Can you post the CSS for the post contents? And I can tell you what to change. :P "An Apple doth not fall far from its tree, yet an orange does."
