There is not a clear way to select the read-more link on trimmed text field output for css styling. I don't know if there is a better solution than the attached patch. It simply adds a class of "more-link" to that link.

Update status. Thanks for the patch!

One problem with adding a class might be, that it could break people's layout because more-link is quite generic...

What about views-more-link?

Also, please include spaces around =>

I agree about making the class more specific. I need this feature also, so I'm making the required changes.

Thanks!

For those coming here looking for a D6 patch, the attached patch does the same.

Old thread, but thought I'd share...

(D7)
If you're looking to add a class to the read more "field" added to trimmed text, you can approach it with Display Suite under the Manage Display tab on the content type.

I was using a Display Suite, 2-column layout and wanted to match the read more link color to the rest of my site. I went to the Manage Display tab, opened the settings (gear icon) on the read more "field" and added a "readmore" class to it... saved it and went back to inspect the code - nothing! It wasn't until I assigned a wrapper tag (the "Wrapper" input textarea) that the class was applied, and it was applied to the wrapper.
