Block CSS problems

[Hack]

Hiya..

I am in the middle of trying to make a new theme for my site. I have gone into the TPortalBlocks.template.php file and added a style (.blockwindowbg) so that all the blocks have their own specific background rather than making use of windowbg. I am still learning CSS however and am having a slight problem in making the text and links within the blocks a different colour (the blocks are a darker colour so the text and links are harder to read compared to the rest of the site).

From what I have read so far I thought I could use descendants for defining what the err.. styles would look like under the blocks style I defined. I was hoping that '#blockwindowbg * a' would work or something like that but so far I have not had any luck

Can anyone give me some advice please?

Could you be a little more specific and post the template code that you have changed and the styles for it from the stylesheet.
