I believe I found the correct file and location of the color change.
#jvotesystem table.list {
border: 0 solid #000000;
border-collapse: collapse;
color: #555555;
font: 90%/140% arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
margin-left: 2px;
width: 99%;
I found this by checking the color hex codes and the one above is the same color as the selections in the vote list.
However, when I try to change the color code, I get an error stating: components/com_jvotesystem/assets/css/list.css for writing: Permission denied
Even after trying to change permissions for the file(s), the permissions revert back to default and don't change.
Help please. thanks.
