I have what it seems a very simple question, but I still cannot solve it, and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem outside Friggeri's CV template (sorry for that).
The whole thing is trying to have a default text color that still allows me to change the color of specific words/phrases.
I am using Friggeri's CV template with the same friggeri-cv.cls (I have only changed all the Helvetica fonts to Arial and added backend=biber to the \RequirePackage{biblatex} line).
This is a MWE, where you can see text doesn't change color, but the flag does. Isn't font awesome considered text?
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass[]{friggeri-cv}
\listfiles
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}
\begin{document}
\header{name}{surname}
{occupation}
% In the aside, each new line forces a line break
\begin{aside}
\section{sec}
aaa
bbb
\end{aside}
\section{sec}
\begin{entrylist}
\entry
{2014}
{some text here}
{more here}
{and more text
and \textcolor{red}{text in color}
and an icon \textcolor{red}{\faFlag}
and even a \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/}{link}
}
\end{entrylist}
\end{document}
Now, I know there is this line in the .cls file
\colorlet{textcolor}{gray}
that controls default text color, but I still want the default text color to be like that, why doesn't \textcolor{red} override it?
I only get colored text when I comment that line...
This brings me to the problem of customizing links... I use the following line in the .cls file (but it doesn't work if I use it in the .tex file) to remove the box around links:
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
But can I make all links be blue and underlined, for example? The option urlcolor=blue in the above command doesn't seem to do anything...
EDIT:
I get the following with the MWE above:
A big big plus would be to get rid of the underfull hbox warning too, if possible!
Many thanks

NEW EDIT:
I have tried to reproduce the error without using Friggeri's template, but with no success, the following line does not have the desired effect: \colorlet{textcolor}{blue} But it has to be done that way, cause I don't want to touch Friggeri's template much... anybody has any idea?
