Ocean Theme

I'm using the Ocean Theme which I like quite very much, but there's one issue. On a panel containing a table, the column name/sort button is black on black. I just want to make it the text white. That's all. I've been able to adjust colors on other themes by poking around, but for some reason I just can't find the correct value for this one.

Does anyone have some familiarity with this theme and know what I need to look for?

Thank you.

The problem is one of omission; The ocean app never overwrites that particular rule. So the solution is to simply add the same rule to the ocean app's application.css, but specify whatever color you want. Probably something like #ddd. So add this to application.css:

table.splTable th a {
    color: #ddd;
}

Excellent. With all of these new coloring powers, I will make my users' eyes bleed! Red on cyan? No problem. 10 points, nick.

Okey doke, I've downloaded firebug, fished around with it, and have found the section in
$SPLUNK/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/css/skins/default/default.css

table.splTable th a {
   color: #000;
}

I've tried changing the color value and have gotten the results I want. However, I know I'm not supposed to fool around with that file directly, but can anyone help me figure out what value in application.css I'm supposed to alter instead?

I'll give you three points... You know what? I like your face. Let's make it five.
