    Hi there everyone!

    I've searched and tried to change it myself with Firebug, but I'm getting nowhere except super frustrated. 😉

    I'd like to change the color of the text in the navigation dropdown to white with no shadow. It's too hard to read the way it is right now.

    Here's the site:  http://www.missionthrive.com/test

    Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

    You can add "!important" after a property value to force it so add that after the color value and then add "text-shadow: none;", e.g.

    .menu-primary li li a,
    .menu-primary li li a:link,
    .menu-primary li li a:visited,
    .menu-secondary li li a,
    .menu-secondary li li a:link,
    .menu-secondary li li a:visited,
    #header .menu li li a,
    #header .menu li li a:link,
    #header .menu li li a:visited {
    background: url(images/bg.jpg);
    border: 1px solid #53504e;
    border-top: none;
    color: white !important;
    font-size: 14px;
    padding: 9px 10px 8px;
    position: relative;
    text-shadow: none;
    text-transform: none;
    width: 138px;
    }

    Thanks, yeah, I tried that, but it doesn't change the sub nav/drop down part, it changes ALL of the text (ie the menu AND the dropdown).

    How would I go about changing just the dropdown part?

    This is pretty much the last thing I've got on my list and frustrating that I just can't seem to get it!

    🙂
