Opencart, Nivo slider controlNav active text color -

i'm trying change font color of active tabs on nivo slider.

enter image description here

i have tried but, it's not working;

.nivo-controlnav a:hover, .nivo-controlnav a.active {     background:url(../image/a_active.png) repeat-y 0px 50%;     --> color:#000 !important; }

i have also, tried;

.nivo-controlnav a.active {      color:#000 !important; }

the file i'm editing slideshow.css

go check these styles:

.nivo-controlnav h1 {     color: #e4007b;     font: bold 15px/20px arial;     text-transform: none; }

and add these after:

.nivo-controlnav a.active h1 {     color: #000; }

this should work.
