I have a dark grey backround as my primary page background colour and as such when the categories and products are displayed in a white boxed backgound. The text is also white so I can't actually see it. How can I change the text colour?

Go in the menus Display->Content menus/modules and edit your menus/modules. There, you can set the background color.

I need to change the text colour as the background white is ideal.

For the text itself, you need to add some CSS code in the front end CSS file of HikaShop via the Display tab of the configuration.

For example, if you want to have a green product name on the listings, you can use that code:
.hikashop_product_name a{
color: green !important;
}

OK so in the Product Category listing where the image and text/title is shown, and I want to change the white text to black, as the white text blends in with the white background; which Display CSS do I need to add that line to? (View=Category & File=Listing)?

Where in the file do I need to add this line? Anywhere?

CSS code can be added in the front end CSS file that you can edit view the Display tab of the configuration.

I added the line you mentioned above in the frontend css file under the /* category display */ but its not making any difference?

Could you give a link of your page so that we can see that ?

Also, make sure that you selected the "custom" CSS file on the option of the configuration.

HI Nicholas, yes i selected to use Custom css in the config. Here is the link:

The white text I'm trying to change is just below the each image. If you mass select the page you will see it. Also referring to my other post, if you click on each category, it doesn't list the products despite I have products link to these categories.

Thanks for your patience.
Steven

That's a listing of categories, not a listing products, so of course that CSS doesn't change the category name since, as I said, it's to change the product name color.

For the category name you should use:
.hikashop_category_name a{
color: green !important;
}

OK perfect. One more question, how can I capitalise the names entirely?

Like that:

.hikashop_category_name a{text-transform:uppercase !important;}
