Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) uses per default a dark blue color for hyperlinks. I am using a dark desktop theme (white text on dark background) and these default colors are very difficult to read.

I am wondering whether there is a way to change the default color to something else, presumably by editing some .css file as can be done in Thunderbird.

If you take a look at the source tree for Liferea there's a file, css/liferea.css, which contains the customization that you're asking about.

There's a section of this file:

 Color Definitions: ================== To allow using GTK theme colors the following key words will be replaced with the corresponding GTK theme color values: ... ... GTK-COLOR-TEXT GTK-COLOR-NORMAL-LINK GTK-COLOR-VISITED-LINK */ body { background: #GTK-COLOR-BASE; color: #GTK-COLOR-TEXT; padding:0; margin:0; } blockquote { border-left: 2px solid #GTK-COLOR-DARK; background: #GTK-COLOR-BG; padding: 5px; font-style: italic; margin: 5px 20px; clear:both; } a { color: #GTK-COLOR-NORMAL-LINK; } a:visited { color: #GTK-COLOR-VISITED-LINK; } 

Within this file you could change the colors for the a and a:visited sections, overriding these settings to what ever color you desire.

You can replace basic forground, background & link if you like, eg:

~/.config/liferea/liferea.css

/* inkpot theme */ body { background: #1e1e27; color: #cfbfad; padding:0; margin:0; } a { color: #8b8bff; } a:visited { color: #737dd5; } ::selection { color: black; background: white; }
