If you need to add something to screenshot, use <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/awesome-screenshot-captur/alelhddbbhepgpmgidjdcjakblofbmce" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/awesome-screenshot-captur/alelhddbbhepgpmgidjdcjakblofbmce</a> for chrome. You can always add images and get a link on imgur.com In the video when I always paste the css in Dev Tools at the end of existing css, all under the 'Sources'' tab, what I am doing is making sure that the css actually works since by pasting there, I am adding my changed css at the end of the cascade. When you change things under the ""Elements"" tab, you are virtually changing the css but in the position it is normally located in the cascade. And no matter how well the Dev Tools have been written, there are situations where bad css and whatnot change things later in the cascade. Thus I don't rely on my original changes in the 'Elements"" tab and like to double check them before I paste and save the block of css into my site (or paste it here as an answer to a support request). Its a process of sculpting and tweaking the css to force it to obey. *Ok lets end this support request since I think with the video and code, this train of thought is complete and will perhaps help others. That other thing you ask about, please open a new ticket since that should have its own discussion, you can add ''nick'' as a tag.

So tell me... how can I send you an image to explain this 'feint line thing'? Cheers Andy andypeck on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-110104 Thu, 09 May 2013 16:22:44 +0000 andypeck 110104@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Done it! its getting easier. Thanks for the video too.... Now all I need to do is explain how to actually create this 1px grey solid line that spans the entire menu (Home, Portfolio, Blog, Contact, About Me) and sits behind/at the top of the highlight line we've just moved up. I worked out how to make the highlight line 3px deep and adjusted its position Ill set up a dropdown menu and check that it all still works. I forgot to mention that my aim is to change the dropdown menu background colors and not change the text. Hence... ROLLDOWN - Background is black, ROLLOVER - Highlight background changes to a deep orange and theres a subtle text colour change too. Ill play around myself and see how I get on Is there a way for me to send you an image? Once ive done the menu ive pretty much got everything else within the theme as normal. I might want to create a giant slabtext on my home page only but thats it. Just so you know that I wont be sitting on your coat tails for the entire site!!!!!!

Im gonna be sat on a train going home from a client visit in an hour or two and ill give it a try... A video too. Being spoilt but I am very grateful and I mean that By the way, as im working locally how can I get you examples of my ideas. theres no attach button on here so I dont know how to share my ideas or do we just have t wait till I go live and then tell you the URL? As always, you are brilliant Thx Andy Nick on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-110091 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:06:26 +0000 Nick 110091@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Put up a menu on your website. Please don't talk in abstractions and generalities or i will make up my own colors, sizes, etc. I get a vague notion of #6. The rest I think I get. I made video of me doing it. Good stuff for youttube.. Website crashed in middle of video though. I didn't do responsive since i dont think it will make any difference regarding colors, that flying underscore though probably needs 1 media query. <pre><code>/*triangle killer*/ #top .current-menu-item>a>.avia-menu-fx>.avia-arrow-wrap,#top .current_page_item>a>.avia-menu-fx>.avia-arrow-wrap { display: none; } /*menu top font color off*/ #top .header_color .main_menu ul:first-child>li>a { color:rgb(255,8,8); font-size: 1.1em; } /*menu top font color hover*/ #top .header_color .main_menu ul:first-child>li>a:hover { color:rgb(8,255,255); font-size: 1.1em; } /*sub menu font color */ #top .main_menu .menu ul li>a { color:green; word-spacing:1.2em; font-size: 1.1em; } /*sub menu font color hover*/ #top .main_menu .menu ul li>a:hover { color: blue !important; } /*sub menu background off*/ #top .header_color .main_menu .menu ul li a:hover { background-color: rgb(12,9,122); } /*sub menu background hover*/ #top .header_color .main_menu .menu ul li a:hover { background-color: rgb(68,9,9); } /*underlines now float above menu*/ #top .avia-menu-fx { display:block; position:absolute; top: 25px; }</code></pre> Video is uploading, gonna be here in 5 mins.

Ive been trying all sorts of things but nothing seems to work even following other peoples examples and following your process still leaves me stumped... here's what Id love to do 1) Increase the font size but make it responsive in the right way 2) Change the word spacing 3) Remove the triangle tick over the line and thicken the line 4) Change the colours of the OFF/ROLLOVER & ON states of any dropdown nice to haves 5) Move the Menu (highlight line) above the text 6) Add a feint line attached to this that spans the entire menu set Is this all BIG LEAGUE stuff or can I do any of this relatively easily? Cheers again for all your support Andy p.s if theres a way to send me an image of what im trying to do then please let me know and ill send a jpg Nick on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-110011 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:28:32 +0000 Nick 110011@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Andy, You are the first person to ever ask me that question (whether to start a new thread), most just ask 3 pages of unrelated questions over 5 months. Thanks for asking! Nah you can continue here since its relevant to the overall theme of our exchange. I felt that in your case best thing to do was to get you hooked on the google tool since then you can customize your own look. read somewhere carefully about position:absolute and position:relative and how they relate to each other when one div is relative inside an absolute div and vice versa and how that affects margin and padding. Also try to move your logo for example to the bottom right corner of screen without messing anything else up using right:20px .left, down, top, and the position: tag... Goodstuff. It's not difficult to edit it. Now sitting down in front of an empty screen and writing it from nothing is difficult. So ask away. Thanks, Nick andypeck on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109978 Thu, 09 May 2013 05:41:20 +0000 andypeck 109978@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey Nick, Ive taken my personal portfolio offline while I rebuilt it. The basic Enfold installation is there and thats due to be replaced with a countdown. Not sure how I show you something local other than to give you a screen shot. Good news though in that I sorted the colouring out using your method so thank you. Basically I should have been using 'icon box' and not 'Icon list' and then it was a case of trial and error. I think for the most part I can get on now but as im creating a dark (chocolate) background based look and feel I have two other questions which relate to the main menu. should I start a new thread or continue talking to you here? Cheers again and thanks for all your help. You are the first person who has tried to help me understand it properly and not just assumed im casting a spell in some mystical dark arts... although it does still feel a bit like that. all the best Andy Nick on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109750 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:06:44 +0000 Nick 109750@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Ok thats good, however that won't always work. You need to add #top before everything (which is from the body tag) , this way you will get more specificity and override the original code. Sometimes for some real hard cases, you need to add !important; to the end of the statement -- color: red !important; if your code ignored, do this. Open up chrome developer tools like this ( <a href="http://i.imgur.com/RfNyIBs.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/RfNyIBs.png</a> ) find custom.css file in there step 2, then you add your changed code into the screen in middle, just don't forget to copy it if you need to refresh ) and enter the css directly, if nothing changes, add #top, take something off, and you will see results live, so this way you don't have to copy and paste and save every time to see whats working and what isnt. also you can edit the html live too and any of the files, but as soon as you refresh, its all gone. also don't use media="screen" unless you see something like @media only screen and (max-width:767px) { .. if you see that, you need to grab that since that's a media query (which is css that works on a specific screen size for mobile/tablets). so first try (your code with #top directive) <pre><code>#top .avia-icon-list .iconlist_icon { height:64px; width:64px; line-height:60px; font-size:30px; text-align:center; border-radius:500px; position:relative; float:left; margin-right:30px; margin-left:2px; z-index:5; border-style:solid; border-width:2px; color: #fff; }</code></pre> Then as you get comfortable you will see that css is like a postal address country, state, city, street, house.. further you go in the more specific it becomes. So you can take the less specific stuff off sometimes. <pre><code>#top .avia-icon-list .iconlist_icon { background-color: #d73119; }</code></pre> ---------------- I wish you had a url, where I can look at these disks. when i click url from your name , a website loads, but nothing there. Don't give up on this tool, watch a youtube tutorial for it because its as easy or complex as you want it to be. Its the only one I use and only one many (if not all) use to debug or modify any website.

Theres clearly a process I need to go through but its a bit hit and miss. **/SEE BELOW/** <pre><code>.avia-icon-list .iconlist_icon{height:64px; width:64px; line-height: 60px; font-size: 30px; text-align: center; border-radius: 500px; position: relative; float:left; margin-right:30px; margin-left:2px; z-index: 5; border-style:solid; border-width:2px; color:#fff; } .main_color .avia-icon-list .iconlist_icon { background-color: #d73119; }</code></pre> ---------------------------------------------------------- it seems that I can do it providing I have both parts but im not sure why. I got the first part from another post. Anyway, my last question on this is how do I create this same entypo disc without the the list content to the right. This is mainly because I want to create individual entypo discs with my own descriptive text either above or below it (centred or left justified). Im kicking myself for not just asking that question at the start Cheers Andy andypeck on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109561 Tue, 07 May 2013 22:09:11 +0000 andypeck 109561@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ hi again... and to add to this. what if all I want to do is use the entypo font pictogram inside a single disc/circle? exactly the same as the Icon list but without the text or dotted lines. I cant find anything to help me at all Cheers Andrew andypeck on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109560 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:55:23 +0000 andypeck 109560@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi there, I think we got our wires crossed as the section I was referring to is the 'Avia icon_list' the discs which contain the entypo glyphs. I wanted to change the disc and the outline and leave the entypo glyphs white. I also want to resize them too When I use the inspector I come across the following... <pre><code>media="screen" .main_color .avia-icon-list .iconlist_icon { background-color: #d73119 !important; }</code></pre> and whilst changing the color works in the inspector as soon as I drop it into the CSS of my child theme nothing changes. I thought adding !important might help (assuming I understood its importance which I guess now I dont!!) but it did nothing. Thing is, this is where I usually come stuck as ive followed your instructions but things like this wont change. Im clearly not doing something but what is it that im doing wrong? Can you help me understand as my next thing is changing the dropdown background on the top nav and I know that will be the same issue. Nick on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109502 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:39:39 +0000 Nick 109502@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, This is the url of the About Us section of the demo <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold/pages/about-us/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold/pages/about-us/</a> ... There are no icons here , but I am guessing thumbnail photos - like when you run the mouse over harrold houdini's photo? I got this css exactly the same way as shown on the above video using chrome developer tools <pre><code>/*---these are the colors when mouse hovers--*/ #top .avia-team-member .twitter:hover { color: rgb(70, 212, 254); } #top .avia-team-member .dribbble:hover { color: rgb(228, 72, 133); } /*---this is the regular color of the icon inside circle--*/ #top .main_color .team-social a color: grey; } /*---this is complete settings controlling size, shape, background color, position of the circle itself--*/ #top .team-social a { text-decoration: none; position: relative; border-radius: 30px; padding: 0 16px; background: rgb(224, 17, 17); margin: 3px; display: inline-block; height: 53px; line-height: 54px; width: 53px; }</code></pre> Keep playing with developer tools, i know at first it seems oppressive, but there is nothing better than this to use to quickly be able to edit css of any site. Thanks, Nick andypeck on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109339 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:08:22 +0000 andypeck 109339@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi Nick, thats great and I think when we talk basic changes like H1 text, logo heights etc... the way you mention seems relatively straight forward for a novice. Where Ive become continuously unstuck are things like the discs (behind the icons) if I want them a different colour or size, or to change things that have (what i call) nested button states - the drop down menu for instance as I want to change the colours of the 'drop down' background but because there are several states (off, rollover and sometime on) I cant quite find the right piece of code using the method you mention. I also want to alter the (moving) thin underline when you rollover the top nav so that I remove the middle 'tick' mark and increase the thickness slightly but again I can't see where the correct code is amid a sea of other comments. This im sure is my inexperience but any clue as to how to deal with such things would be warmly received Cheers all the best Andy Nick on "Colour & Font Size Changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-font-size-changes#post-109331 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:54:21 +0000 Nick 109331@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Your best bet is to instal Chrome Developer Tools and without needing to know CSS you can manipulate the elements easily. I just made a video <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hqGBMSfHtKd2l6UkcwUjVBVWM/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hqGBMSfHtKd2l6UkcwUjVBVWM/edit?usp=sharing</a> showing how easy it is to change the menu any way you want , copy and paste to quick css in the theme backend. This is the best tool for editing without the learning curve.

Ive looked through the layout CSS file and cant seem to change/find what I need 1) The font sizes throughout - in particular the H1 tags and the main menu fonts. I want to use much bigger font sizes. When I try to change the menu in the layout CSS file nothing happens which I presume is because of responsive control settings 2) Changing the drop down nav background to red with black/white text and also a lighter rollover background version 3) The circular disc backgrounds (as used in the demo 'About Us' section) id like to change the disc background to the mentioned red colour Cheers Dude on "Change Main Theme Color" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/change-main-theme-color#post-85673 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:46:28 +0000 Dude 85673@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi!

If you could also point out exactly which items you mean for the above 1-2 that will help as well since there are a lot of different things and the css needs to be specific. For #3, you can add the html for the link in sidebar.php after the code for the copyright inside the social_bookmarks class. It'll need to be styled to fit the area and not cause any issues however so make sure to give your link a container class or a class itself so that it can be styled easily. Individual pages can be targeted based on the #top class. If you use something like Firebug for Firefox or Chrome's Inspect function you can inspect the code for your pages live and identify the css for that page/element and use the page-id-## class to change the look of just one page.

Right now when I use that feature the home icon's background is still grey, and the background of the text (ex. 'image 2 of 4") is also grey. If I add your code, the home icon is completely invisible, which I can't have. Basically I need help with three things: 1) Adding code that will make the background text for "image 1 from 4" or "image 2 from whatever" black as well as for the home icon (when "hide sidebar & content" is clicked). The icon and text still need to be visible, but with a black background 2) I'd like to have a permanent border in the normal light grey color around the main menu 3) I'd like to add a small link in the space between the social icons and the background controls, but I don't know how to do that. Help with these three things would be great!

In the editor, when I click the theme name I can choose 'Theme Options' > Styling. When you do need to edit the css directly you may need to include IDs or classes on surrounding elements that are higher in the cascading path, not just the class that's immediately applied the item. I've found it to be tricky to discover which are required but some experimentation helps. Hope this helps.
