I’m looking Kim. But, please tell me what you were talking about when you said, “Well, It works here.”.

Did you mean the color of the slider border in IE? I would just like to know what you meant. Thanks.

Well, “what” works here for you? The color? I do not know enough about css to recognize statements for different browsers. If there is something in this css specifically for the colors in IE I don’t know what it is or how what to search for to find it.

I’m dinking around with the fonts. The one on my local shows arial all the time… it is the one at GoDaddy that is showing the other font part of the time. sigh

I am using a child theme.

That is how I changed the slider border colors on my site too. It works fine in Firefox, but the red does not show up in IE. I have no idea how to correct that.

I have Firebug and can see that the font of the header content in the slider is listed as arial, but it is not displaying as arial in Firefox.

To change the color I just put the hex number for the color in the header section of the theme in the Dashboard.

I don’t know if it will help or not, but I moved the text in the header using:

#header h1 {

font: bold 28px "Trebuchet MS";

position: relative;

left: 38px;

top: 80px;

width: 852px;

}

I shortened the image and needed to raise the text. I changed the top: to 35px. I used a child theme, but you should be able to edit the main style.css file if you want to.

Finally got the photos loaded and in in the right places. Now I have a test environment on my local PC, but if I do this again (likely) I will not do as much content work on the PC before I move it to the web. “Under Construction” pages don’t bother me. I would rather use one of those than have to do so much work over again.

Thanks again for your help.

Working on photos now. I am not sure that it was worth it to put it together on my PC first.

Now it is gritching about the wp-login.php file that apparently GoDaddy loads on top of the wp-admin file…. I’m going to call them since I can’t get into the dashboard right now.

The only thing in the Function file is a change to the header image height.

Yes, I know the photos have not been loaded properly yet. I stopped doing anything to it when I thought I might need to totally reload.

OK, that did it on the colors. Thanks. I’ll continue with the other settings now.

In reply to: Gray where is it coming from?

It has taken most of the day, but I finally got rid of the gray. I did modify the sprite_h file. I ended up just changing all entries in the main CSS file because using it only in the nav section did not work. The other calls to it would over right my changes.

I still need to ditch the rest of the blue, fonts, etc. Then maybe I will think about reducing the space between the rotating box and nav bar. Surely that cannot be horribly difficult.

Then on to the content. Once I get some real content loaded I will move it to the hosting site.

Thanks again for your help. Hopefully this thread helps others too.

You can’t see it in this screen shot, but the very bottom bar where the site name and theme name are displayed is red now. 🙂

Well, I’m not that handy with Photoshop. It looks like the various color sections are in layers, which part of it did you change to your theme color? I can’t tell how much of the site it actually applies to. That could be where the bottom black is coming from too. Or does h indicate it applies just to the header?

While we are at it. I see what appears to be the image for the day calendar that is with each post, in the sprite_master file. Is that right? Of course I want to change that color too.

Thanks for your help!
