Change Color of Header
#1
Dears,

Perhaps I am creating a new topic with a subject that already exists. Sorry for that, but I couldn't find it.
I am building a site for my girlfriend.

In the header of the site you can read "Sascha's Salon" in the color RED. I really have no idea how the change this color (My girlfriends wants to see it in pink).

I used a standard template of getsimple. But in html I can't find this color.

Could someone please please help me to change this color in pink?
Below the template in html. Can you tell me what I have to change below?
Perhaps you understand that this is my first time building a website. Still working on it.

Thanks in advance for your help!


<head>
<title><?php get_page_clean_title(); ?> | <?php get_site_name(); ?>, <?php get_component('tagline'); ?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<?php get_header(); ?>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php get_theme_url(); ?>/default.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="nivo/themes/default/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="nivo/nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
try {
document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
} catch(err) {}

</script>
</head>

<body id="<?php get_page_slug(); ?>" >
<div id="wrapper">



<div id="header">
<h1 id="inline"><a class="logo" href="<?php get_site_url(); ?>"><?php get_site_name(); ?></a></h1>
<span class="tagline"><?php get_component('tagline'); ?></span>
</div><!-- end div#header -->

I am sure the color is defined in the CSS of the theme

in the default theme, Innovation, the title (which is always a link to the homepage) is defined as a#logo

which means, it is a link with the ID "logo"

in the style.css of that theme, I find the color-definition:
header #logo {
....
color:#fff;
...
}

so you would change the color here, if you use Innovation theme

you don't tell us which theme you use (standard themes are only Cardinal and Innovation)
but the header of your site shows that the css-file is this one: nivo/themes/default/default.cs

so find out which css class or css id is defined for the title and change the color in that css file
or tell us which css you really use and we will find out what is to edit / modify

Cheers,

Connie

Hi Connie,

Thanks for your reaction.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Did you read my info:
Quote:but the header of your site shows that the css-file is this one: nivo/themes/default/default.cs

?

I think no;=(

well, first of all you told us you use a standard theme, that was wrong.
second, the quoted lines are of no help at all

I must check the theme to find out, even when I am a supporter of the "pink stinks" movement ;=)

it is as I said:

1) the theme has a css-file: default.css
2) there the element "logo" is defined:

Code:
#header .logo
{
color:#fff;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}

#fff = white

3) if you open this file in an editor (not WORD!) and change it to #EE82EE

Code:
#header .logo
{
color:#EE82EE;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}



you will get a dark pink.

I ask you for further questions:

a)
try to find out where to get help. The author of that theme opened a support-thread for these themes,
http://get-simple.info/forum/post/6004/#p6004

you will always find the link to support threads in the theme-pages in the EXTEND section

b)
when you get answers, please read them and try to follow the suggestions
you will be more satisfied the more you know yourself ;=)

and it is a better feeling for us in the forum here if our answers are read ;=(
Cheers, Connie
