I must be missing a place where I can change the link, visited link colors. I've searched about everywhere I know to search until I forget where I've been. I've always hard-coded web sites until the technology ran off and left me, now I'm trying to do it the simple way?
Thanks for any pointers.

While attempting to do something unrelated, I discovered the options. Now I'm trying to figure out why I can't align all 4 of the Navigation buttons to the left or right. Somehow they got out of kilter and when I select them all, one of them turns green (outline) and the other 3 turn blue. All of the options to align are either grayed out or do nothing. It's difficult to manually drag and place exactly even, you'd think there would be a Snap-To button. I mean alignment is key in web design isn't it?

Right on many points Tim. But you missed again. Glad you found the link colors. If you have any more problems please post back and someone will help you out.

As far as alignment. Got to View/Insert Vertical Guide off the top menu and you will get a vertical line that you can set anywhere. Or you can turn on a grid. With these showing, if you move an object to them they will 'snap to'. Works great.

As far as selecting your buttons and having them turn various colors...if you used the 'Buttonizer' to create your button, or a mouse over, there is an option there to view the 'original' or 'mouseover' button. I suspect you have toggled one to view the mouseover.

Let me know if you need anything more. :cool:

Thanks for the tips. My latest issue is I'm trying to add back a button in the navigation links that I use on each page and it crashes the program each time, so I have to create a new button identical from the last. Looks like I have about 8 of the same buttons in the folder, but can't use them or the program will stop working and shut down. Just some small problems, but I'm starting to like this better than CC. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to do some editing that way.

Ok, not sure when I can get help with this but I'm submitting a ticket. I can't finish a 24 hour project because I can't create my third button on the navigation menu. I had it there once before and deleted it. I try to add it back (create button now), I try to insert it as an image since its already in the directory, either way, VSD stops working and closes, crashes, doesn't save anything. Definitely a problem. I've spent way too much time on this. It was a part of the original theme, not sure why it's a problem but I'm not starting over on this one.

Hi Tim.
Be careful where you add images from. Don't add images that are inside your mywebsitename_website/files. Grab it from the actual theme directory.:)

Another thing might be to check that you have VSD set to run as Admin.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
