I want to have url's with no background, but still a distinctive color so as to indicate that they are clickable. I am defining
\documentclass[line, margin]{res}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
linkcolor=red,
citecolor=green,
filecolor=magenta,
urlcolor=cyan
}
\begin{document}
\name{Myname}
\address{address...}
\begin{resume}
\href{http://example.com}{Text}
\end{resume}
\end{document}
Res file can be found here: link

hidelinks? – daleif Oct 10 '14 at 08:57hidelinks. I gather that the colors are related to the links, not the text. – daleif Oct 10 '14 at 08:59colorlinksalso works. The standard frame around the text is associated to the links which you have hidden. Also remember that as Andrew mentions,resis not a generally known class, so the MWE isn't that usable. – daleif Oct 10 '14 at 09:51
