Font Editing Within Minimalist Theme

thanks —-

the text widget I spoke of is listed as “EVENTS” on — htttp://23nine.com/blog

And I appreciate the info from above! I will easily find that!

Got it. The text is currently governed by the overall style for the menu in white.css. So any change to:

#menu {
color:#ccc;
}

in white.css will currently change the color of all of the text in the menu – including the widget’s content.

If you just want to change the color of the text widget, try adding:

#menu .textwidget {color:#f00;}

to the bottom of white.css – substituting #f00 for your color of choice.

Oh my goodness…

That worked so well I can barely stand it! What happens when I add one or two more text widgets? Will that hold consistent or will I need to add/change/edit something for each new text widget I add??

by the way, TERRIFIC info from you thru this whole thread! Spot on perfect!

Hope you get MODERATOR OF THE MONTH! ha!

here is how I added that line:
#menu {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu a {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu a:hover {color:#CCCCCC; }
#menu .textwidget {color:#660000;} <—— inserted your code

wasn’t sure if you meant add at the very bottom of the entire white.css file section or at the bottom of the #menu codes. It worked perfect this way (let me know if that should be at the very bottom of the entire white.css page instead!?!)

In this case, it obviously didn’t matter but as a general rule of thumb, the lower down the CSS file that a given style block is, the greater the chance that it will be implemented on the final displayed web page. There are other things (such as style specificity) that can still throw a spanner in the works, but at the bottom of the file is still always a good place to start if you’re not too sure.

great to now that! thanks!

I take it that when I add any new text widgets they will follow the same font actions listed above?? Will I be able to make font changes to each text widget that I add or will they all be the same?? Not really a big issue, just curious.

THANKS for everything!

—- by the way, my upcoming question stream will be about placing an image on the page, be prepared! ha!

I take it that when I add any new text widgets they will follow the same font actions listed above?

Yes – the style I gave you should affect all text widgets.

Will I be able to make font changes to each text widget that I add or will they all be the same?

Not in that theme as it stands. With some PHP editing (or another theme) you could add CSS to change the display of any individual text widget.

Just as I thought — and its not an issue since you set me straight on editing the font color in the future.

I will toss out a quickie here for you to answer or direct me to the correct forum post.

Under my Pages(noted as WHO WHAT WHY), Categories, Links (noted as The Roll Call) when you click on a sub page in any of those there is a two inch dotted line under and above the page name or link or category name — Question: Is that just part of the theme design or is it something that can be edited/removed?? (I am getting pretty good at searching now but didnt see any “border” type comments in the css)

I certainly dont mean to start a whole new thought here away from font editing but if you feel like tossing another one of your knowledgeable answers I am all ears!

OK, I am off to scour the forums regarding placing images in a text box (i will be looking for ESMI answers in that category first! ha)

Those dotted lines are actually to top and bottom of a complete box. Your browser adds these, by default, to all “active” links or links that have focus. In other words, the link you clicked on. You can’t remove it via CSS. Nor should you really try.

Some surfers can’t use a mouse and navigate sites by keyboard. They don’t get the fancy “hover” effects that so many designs add to links and may have to relay on the “dotted box” to indicate which link they have reached so that they can press Enter and activate that link.

okie dokie — got it! And for the record if I ever need a life-line on the Millionaire show I am calling you!

by the way — no need to worry about inserting an image into text widget questions. Nailed it on my own! (yes, I realize that its so simple a Caveman could do it! but I didnt know that the other day!ha!)

BUT, I will ask, is there a reason that every image I place in a Post or Page has a small box pop up showing the image name as the mouse rolls over the pic?? It doesn’t do that for an image placed in a text widget and for my money it seems a bit tacky to have that pop up when anyone mouses over a picture! Any way to omit that little image name box?? (or tell me whats its called and I can find a forum post on it)

MANY MANY Thanks!!

That’s probably the image alt attribute that is added automatically by WordPress. It’s needed in situations where the image isn’t downloaded or where the site visitor may be using a screenreader (think text-to-speech) and cannot actually see the image.

consider me knowing nothihg about building a site. My site is https://www.free2fly4christ.com and I’ve only been working on it since Tuesday. I have so many questions and just want this done…At any rate; How in the world do I change the color to my content. Like bright, colorful colors!!!!! AND How do I move the ‘about us’ page (and other pages) to the right of my first page?

THANKS..
