Color scheme ?

Hey there sharryman,

Could you please post a link to your site so I can take a look? Generally this is something that could be done with some custom CSS.

Best regards,

Sharryman,

The easiest way to do what you want may be the following:

1. Use Firefox browser (install it if you don’t have it), then add the Firebug addon.

2. Bring your site up, then right click on an element you want to change, then left click on Inspect Element. It’ll show you the PHP and CSS codes associated with it.

3. Add Simple Custom CSS plugin to your plugins, and make the CSS changes in that to reflect the changes you want. And save it.

So where it says “Home” and the slideshow area and then below that where there will be some text. That whole black area they want white.

Thanks!!

Hey there sharryman,

Try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or if your theme doesn’t have custom CSS tab add it in your site using the following plugin:

div#yui-main {
background: #fff;
}

div#bd {
background: #fff;
}

This should change the content area background to white.

It only put a small white box at the bottom of the screen…please look at the URL. Thanks! Help help!!! : )

Hey again,

Could you try replacing div#yui-main part with this one

#yui-main {
background: #fff !important;
}

Normally I wouldn’t suggest the use of the !important declaration. However, it can sometimes be a necessary evil when over-writing existing styles. You can find more info on important declaration here

Hope this helps ??

That worked!!!! Now I just have to figure out how to change that text color and I’ll be good to go!!! Thanks so much!!

Is it possible that the white is over that text causing it to be “faded” looking. I changes the text color in the raindrops options but it didn’t make the text any darker.

Nevermind…I figured it out! Thanks for the help!!!
