You can yes, but again, this will require custom CSS to override the theme’s own styling. But here is what handles the colours:
.social a {
background-color: #5477a7;
color: #fff;
}
.social a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #d5b886;
color: #fff;
}
As a side note, I’ve been noticing how often users of Longevity are wanting to change colours to many elements even though I used Preset colours instead of offering colour selectors in the customizer.
I think I will add the ability to customize the various elements within this theme, such as the social icons, with colour selectors on a theme update. My other themes have that capability. Turns out, it appears I should not have left this out of Longevity. I will probably start with the pro version and then update the free Longevity. I will still keep the preset colours in addition to the change.
