RH9, 9.0.1.232
My project uses breadcrumbs that are generated during compiling. In RH8, the breadcrumbs would be the a.link/a.visited/a.hover color, the links would be underlined, and the topic name + greater than characters would be black. Now, the links are not underlined anymore, and the topic name + greater than characters have changed to blue, which looks rather ugly with the styles I use.

RH9
I have tried using topic style while setting p.breadcrumbs and a.breadcrumbs to red, or not using topic style and setting the color to green (just to make sure the setting had any effect and to distinguish where the color came from). Alas, the blue stays put.
Inserting the breadcrumbs in the masterpage works as expected. Below two different breadcrumbs are generated, the bottom one one from the master page and the top one during compile:
The above has been generated with the following settings:
p.breadcrumbs { color: #ff0000;}
A.breadcrumbs { color: #ff0000;}
A:link {
color: #000000;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
A:visited {
color: #808080;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
A:hover {
x-on-hover: fontchange(color=#f5841f);
color: #f5841f;
}
Please note that the direct formatting is set to green AND left aligned, neither of which is used in the output. Please also note that blue does not occur anywhere in my settings (css nor direct formatting).
Where does the blue come from?? And more importantly, how do I get rid of it?? I'd rather not fix something with master pages that wasn't broken in RH8 to begin with. And even if I'm forced to, I still want to know where the blue came from 🙂

Webhelp gives the following output:
Format by topic level:
Here the top line becomes black as it used to be in RH8 (2nd line is again the master page variant using a breadcrumbs field in the header). Also left alignment is applied.
Format directly:
Here the direct formatting green is also applied.
(Screenshots taken from IE7)
So it seems that the problem lies in the .chm generation?
What do you mean with sharing the HTML? The topics themselves do not contain the breadcrumbs, as they are generated by the compiler or the master page. Do you want the HTML from the chm? If so, how do I extract that after compilation?
Thanks for your help so far!
Yep, Dutch. But our Windows installation and programs are the English variants.

Strange that in the 2nd line (the master page line) the gray specifically takes over from the red, so the css link properties override the breadcrumbs properties (whether the p.breadcrumbs is placed above or below the a.link). In the web help the reverse is true: the whole line becomes red.
Same goes for the first line (generated during compile): the gray takes over from the blue that is specifically inserted as in-line formatting.
In the web help the opposite occurs (as you can see from the screenshot in my previous post): the whole line becomes red (or green).

Try setting up a new project but using your existing CSS. If you can recreate the problem there, you can send me the project. See the Contact page on my site.
