Visual Editor Links Color

[Shorty]

In the editors part of the Colors & Styles area, we can change the color of the text, but I think we should be able to color links, as is, they appear as a blue color. So yeah. That's my request, link colors in visual editor.

This is already achievable via the Visual Editor.
Admin > Themes > Colors & Styles > Text Styles > Default Forum Text > Links (then inside there you also have Active, Hover and Visited).

If these aren't the links, then can you be more specific?

I'm talking about the links that are in the visual posting editor. I already have my default links set to a color, but instead it appears blue instead of red.

Do you mean in the admin area itself?

Only ProBoards can edit the admin area to prevent people from breaking their Admin Control Panels.

On the posting editor. In the colors and styles section where you can change the posting editors. You can change the text color in the editor but not the color links appear in the Visual Posting Editor, or the WYSIWYG editor.


I think there should be an option to change the colors of links in that. The default color is purple. 



I would like to be able to change it to match all other links. The purple is like dark on dark, and some people may actually have chosen a purple background for the editor, if that was the case then it wouldn't show up too well for blending in with the background.

Ahhh right ok haha. I see what you mean. Mine actually shows up as a blue (on one of my themes, haven't tried the other 2), not purple like yours. Weird, and I have all my links set to be a brown (#776d57)

I have all mine set to red, but as you can see, it doesn't show up like that. The purple just means its a visited link, where as the blue is a non visited link. But glad you see what I mean now.

Okay, I get what you're asking for now but there is a problem with that.

It's a WYSIWYG editor. What you see is what you get. The link color is the color it will be in the real post. That's why it is the color it is. What's more, as the poster you can change the color yourself.

If we were to make this change to the themes it would also break all previous themes in the Beta up to this point. At the current time this alone doesn't warrant that happening for something that in a way is already functioning the way it is supposed to. Sorry.

That's not so true. In the WYSIWYG editor it appears blue, whereas once posted, its red, like all my other links are. It's not so much that it doesn't appear right in the post. But on a dark background it doesn't show up that well in the editor.

This. Once posted, my links are that brown hex I posted above with no decoration. In my WYSIWYG, links are blue and underlined.

If that's the case I will make a bug to fix it. However, what I explained is what should be the case. Thank you guys for discussing it though.
