Topic: Change color of link or text in the caption?

How can I change the color of a link or any text for that matter in the caption?

I have tried linking to a external style sheet, adding styling to the <a> tag, and using the <font> and <span> tags.  Nothing works.  Has anyone else ever figured out a way to get this to work?

I never found a solution on the forum.

Re: Change color of link or text in the caption?

My post has received 81 views but no replies so I am assuming that is because no one knows the answer.  Felix, can you help us?  I know other people must have a similar need.

Thanks so much,

Sharon

Re: Change color of link or text in the caption?

From all my research and from the other posts I believe the answer is "you can't". Despite what the FAQ says it doesn't work. The color of the text is fixed by the setting of textColor="0xFFFFFF" in the gallery.xml

You will need ot buy the pro version and modify the swf and js (unless Felix has a better idea)

I believe the answer is "you can't".

Correct. The text color can not be set in the caption tag, only globally by the 'textColor' xml option. I've updated the FAQ to make this more clear.
