Another example of “unremovable bullets” by some one using the Corporate theme by StudioPress. It is not really practical for widgets and shortcodes to cover all the ways that a theme may have chosen to specify bullet styling, so at times you may well have to get in and add your own override.

In this example, the ical widget shows up like this

Css Bullets Problem Example

Once again chris pederick’s web developer add on for firefox is invaluable in highlighting what the problem is:

Web Developer highlights the issue - the theme css is taking precedence

Here we see that the icallist.css clearing of the background for list items

icallist.css (line 36)

#wcompprop0 ul li, #calprop0 ul li, #compprop0 ul li {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;

is being overridden by the theme’s

style.css (line 318)
#homepage ul li li {
background: transparent url(images/icon.gif) no-repeat scroll left top;
....

There are a number of ways to correct this, either in the theme or in the icallist.css.  Either of the following should work:

#homepage #wcompprop0 ul li {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;

OR

#wcompprop0 ul li li, #calprop0 ul li li, #compprop0 ul li li {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;
