Hi guys, I am currently administrating a Sharepoint for my company and I am just tweaking it a bit; There are links on the ribbon bar at the top where the text is the same colour as the background and there is no way to change it in the basic sharepoint customization menu, it seems to inherit the font colour from another setting (background) I was wondering if anyone knows how to edit the css file to these sites so I can directly specify the font colour through HTML code?

Cheers,

Jamie

I'm not sure about SharePoint online but can you deploy a custom feature that overrides the default css files? On an on-premise install it is very bad practice to edit the source files directly using SPD!

Hmmm.. so do you reckon it's a bad idea to attempt to try and change the font colour of those headings?
 
Yes I wouldn't recommend it but then again I'm not certain what SP online allows you to do. I'd have thought all the core files would have been protected. Can you create a theme which will change the colours?
 
I've been informed that SP is basically unlimited to what you can do with the right amount of skill. A vodafone specialist that liaises with me on behalf of microsoft has told me that it was designed like this.

Someone asked - "What can Sharepoint do then?"
Microsoft replied - "What can't Sharepoint do."

So yeah, I'm 95% sure it can be done, however, finding a way to do it without messing anything up is going to be tricky, this cloud based style of intranet is totally new for me to administrate, picked myself up a "sharepoint 2010 for dummies" book :P it's still very complicated though, but heh.. least I'm learning slowly :)
 
Yeah I know on-premise sharepoint is like that but I'm not sure what you can do with a hosted sharepoint in the cloud like SP 365 or SharePoint Online or whatever the latest name is.

What you could do is add a custom masterpage and css file to the style library and then point your site to it. Not ideal but it is better than editing the source files directly.
