Hello,

I want to add some block on right sidebar. For this parts, it’s ok. But there is a title above the block and I don’t want it. It’s possible to do that?

Moreover, I have a another question. I read it’s possible to change color on the “menu” (black/grey) and I don’t find this option. It’s possible?

Thanks

So you only want the white square in the sidebar? Have you tried leaving the ‘Title’ space for the widget empty? For me, if I add a simple text widget, and leave the ‘title’ space empty, the only thing I get is a white square in my sidebar.

Yes, it is possible to change the color of the menu bar, I recommend making a child theme first: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/how-to-modify-the-theme-using-a-child-theme#post-54

Then read this post: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/change-font-size-and-color-in-menu-bar

Great, it’s work 🙂

For the color change, it doesn’t work. However, I have created the style.css file and I try to change the colors but it doesn’t change.

Could you please post a link to your site, maybe I can see what is going wrong. Also, do you use a caching plugin? (like W3 total cache)

Here the site : http://blog.hddesign.fr/

In fact, when I actived the child theme, my background is gone.

No, I didn’t use no plugin

and here is the file “style.css”. It’s child theme file.
```
/*

Theme Name: Graphene Child

Template: graphene

Version: 1.0



*/

@import url("../graphene/style.css");

/* Your modification goes here */



/* Top level header menu, default state */



#header-menu > li > a {

color: #09C403;

line-height: 16px;

padding: 9px 10px 10px;

}

#header-menu > li > a > span {

display: block;

font-size: 11px;

color: #55E1D3;

}



/* Top level header menu, hover and current state */



#header-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a {

color: #D10564;

}



#header-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a > span {

color: #0505D1;

}
```

Have you tried putting the whole code in the child theme like this?
```
/*

Theme Name:     Graphene Child

Theme URI:      http://example.com/

Description:    Child theme for the Graphene theme

Author:         Your name here

Author URI:     http://example.com/about/

Template:       graphene

Version:        1.0

*/

@import url("../graphene/style.css");

/* Your modification goes here */
```
Update: I tried your code, but for me it also didn’t work.

This is a default WordPress behaviour. It treats a parent theme and a child theme as two different themes, and custom header and custom background settings are associated with themes. So when you activate a new theme (in this case a child theme), the custom header and custom background settings are reset.

Btw, your custom header is super cool!

Thank you Syahir… This theme graphene is really interesting…

I’ll open another post because I have a question about the comments …

How to reduce the size of “Make a Comment” and how to remove small tools to make the text formatting when you want to comment …

Thank you
