Horizontal Line Properties

[Robin]

I know that I have done this before on other websites, but for some reason I
cannot seem to be able to change the properties of the horizontal rule in my
Front Page Theme. All I want to do is change the thickness and the color. I
have gone into the theme settings and tried to change the color but when I
return to the main screen in the themes it reverts back to the black color.
I am not sure of where I would change the pixels for the thickness???

can you show a page where this is happening?
Maybe the theme is using an image as an <hr>?

Here is an example. It does not seem that I am using a graphic and if I am,
where would I swap that out in the theme. I don't see a graphic for the
horizontal rule in the theme settings.

(I don't use themes because I like to use my own stylesheets for more
control.)

If you view the HTML source for that page you will see plain <HR> for
the horizontal line. My guess is that your theme does not assign HR
properties or if it does, it is not used in your web page.

Another possibility: I know that FP incorporates some of its bells and
whistles at the time of page creation. And it does not automatically
update a saved page if you revise the bell/whistle. Not sure if this
applies to themes.

You did right click on the hr and see the properties dialog box didn't you?
