The Expand Macro--blue text?

[John Marcovecchio]

Hello. I'm new to Confluence and I have been using the "Expand" macro. I like it, but the text is blue by default, and I don't know how to change that. If anyone has experience with this macro and knows a work-around, I would appreciate it! Thanks.

Hi @John Marcovecchio - welcome to this wonderful community. 

I know that the color won't be changed by color scheme. You can change the color using 'Stylesheet' (for Space and Global).

Just add this:

.expand-control-text {
color: #yourcolorhere;
}

Fabienne, thanks much for your reply.

As I mentioned, I am new to Confluence. The company gave me a "space" to work in, but I don't think I have access to the style sheet or to the dashboard. Maybe I do--I will check again!

@John Marcovecchio You can (if you are space admin) find the Stylesheet here:

To edit a space's CSS style sheets:

1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Look and Feel from the bottom of the sidebar

2. Choose Stylesheet then Edit.

3. Paste your custom CSS into the text field.

4. Save your changes. The new CSS will be visible on all content pages in the space.

Good luck! 

If you don't have access - it may be an idea to write it in global settings so that you have similar appearance in your system. Pay attention if you're using a theme it may be impossible to change via CSS.
