Hi Andrea

Your .sidebar h3 looks like this now:

.sidebar h3 {

background: -moz-linear-gradient(#AAAAAA, #555555) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

border-bottom: 1px solid #444444;

border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;

color: #FFFFFF;

font: bold 16px/20px arial;

margin: -15px 0 5px -12px;

padding: 7px 12px;

text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #555555;

width: 100%;

}

I think if You change padding line, maybe:

padding: 4px 12px;

Either change the code in style.css or put the code in Theme Custom CSS

But the best way is to make a Graphene Child Theme, if You havent 🙂

Hi Kim,

Thanks so much for your quick response – appreciate it. I changed it! 🙂

Dumb questions (I’m new to this) –

Thanks!!

Thanks loads! I’ll definitely check it out!

Sorry, another question – can’t figure this one out –

It’s kinda trippy that my site, on my macbook and iPhone, the menu bars are grey in color. But on a work laptop and my bf’s laptop and a friend’s laptop – noticed it’s all PC based, it shows us as blue. What color does it show up on yours? I have no idea why it turns out as so 🙁

Well, Im also using Firefox on MacBook Pro & might add very happy with that.

The problem is IE versions & CSS code. (Try Google IE & CSS)

I have this CSS for .sidebar h3

.sidebar h3 {

-pie-background: linear-gradient(#afaeae, #6E6E6E);

background: #afaeae;

background: linear-gradient(#afaeae, #6E6E6E);

background: -moz-linear-gradient(#afaeae, #6E6E6E) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 bottom, from(#afaeae), to(#6E6E6E));

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#afaeae', endColorstr='#6E6E6E'); /* for IE */

text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #000000;

}

Oh wow! So it is due to IE versus Safari? Will try all your codes. Thanks so so much!

I created a child graphene theme and activate it and lost my settings 🙁 Is it meant to be so?

Now You have to add your changes to Child Theme’s style.css

so You have the same look as without 🙂

Please, let me ask!

Have You made changes in, say functions.php?
