eve11From a link on the LJ news site here :
Go to Journal--Journal Style from the menu, then over on the right under "current theme" go to "customize your theme". On the left-hand list menu pick "cusom CSS", and it will give you a box in which to enter text. If you are like me and use a pre-set theme that you got from one of their options, make sure the "Use layout's stylesheet(s) when including custom external stylesheet" option is set to "Yes". To find the hypertext color that your pre-set style uses, go to the "Style" option on the left-hand list menu and it will have a box and a color number entry for "Link color for both visited and unvisited links" or something similar. Use that number for the color that you want.
I adapted it a little bit from what the linked user has to use black parens: I think they were black before but despite the fact I don't like the scissors, I don't remember that detail *headdesk*.
Also I had to mess a little bit with the margin of the inner text because for some reason it was overlapping the space that was put in for the open paren, so I changed it to "-22" instead of "-25" and that seemed to work: here is my adaptation (using my color for the text):
