Customise the default colours

Maybe this might do it:

Thanks so much rdellconsulting for picking up this post –

I tried the CSS in the link you provided and this updates the colour of all links when they are hovered over.

I am trying to change the shade of blue that is within the Customizr ‘blue’ skin as it is not right to fit in with an existing logo.

I’ve built sites with HTML + CSS before but am at a loss about how to find the element names within WordPress / Customizr template so I can then figure out how to write the appropriate CSS.

Once I know how the template is constructed then the CSS should be pretty easy. Any ideas ??

Thanks –
Chris

The 3rd post (@blogocorp) explains.

You need to make a copy of (say)customizr/inc/css/blue.css then change every occurence of #0088CC to your required color.

If you make the change to the core file, you will lose it on next update, so either add to code as @blogocorp did or move blue.css into a child theme.

Ah ha!! I’ve got it – all working now.

I’ve created a new .css page in the customizr/inc/css folder and then added a line into customizr/inc/admin/class-admin-customize.php Lines 248-260. I can now select this new skin in WordPress in the Appearence / Customise area.

The default colour blue at the top of the Customizr theme was 0088cc and the lighter blue was 0077b3. I’ve done a find and replace on all of these and now have the ‘right’ shade of blue in the template.

Thanks so much for the help. Much appreciated.

Also remembered I can use the ‘Inspector’ (Tools / Web Developer / Inspector) to see what each section / element of the template is called – and then find the CSS that relates to it. Great…!
