HELP!!! My visited links are hard to see

[Stinky The Clown]

Used to be my visited links changed from blue to red. Easy to see. Now they are sort of violet blue and the unvisited links are blue violet. Not a lot of difference.

Here's a screen shot of what they look like.



The top one is visited, the bottom one is not.

I have been all over the Intertubes and on the phone with AppleCare. No luck. No one seems to know how to change the damned color. I even spoke with an AppleCare guy who was on the Accessibility team! Nada.

Back in the olden days, when Mozilla was THE browser, there was a way to select the colors for every browser element. Now no browser seems to have such a choice.

I have exactly the same visited/unvisited colors in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Argh!!!!!

You will have my undying gratitude if you know how to fix this. I getting headaches from all the squinting!

1. That is how they have always shown up on my Safari.

Try to increase contrast in Accessibility.

2. I don't use Safari but SeaMonkey which is an intergrated browser with mail client by Mozilla

This should work in Firefox. Click SeaMonkey next to the Apple for a drop down; click Preferences; click Appearance; click Colors; Box on the right side will have link colors. Click on one and get a color pallet.

I just tried an old Firefox I have. It's a little different. Click Firefox; click Preferences; click Content on the top bar; click colors; click Visited Link; choose color; uncheck box that allows sites to choose colors- this may be just for text.

If there is a way in Safari, it's beyond me to find it.

3. Thanks! That's the way things used to be with Mozilla products.

They just moved the control to a different place.

4. Good deal

I hope my wife doesn't notice my visted RED links she uses Safari and it wouldn't be pretty. "Why can't YOU FIX it?"

7. I bookmarked this thread in case my wife wants to change link colors.

8. Wow! That is EXACTLY what I needed. I got it to work in all my browsers, too.

Perfect!
