Hello – trying to make the social media icons white – what would the css line be to do that?

Hello,

Do you mean the social icons in the header? You should have an option for this on your Theme Options page. Appearance > Theme Options > Styles > Social Icon Color — Select “Light”

No, I mean to change them from grayish to full white.

The png is white and there’s some shading on it. I set opacity to 1 but there’s still some gray tint.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

For example —

#branding .themeblvd-contact-bar li a {
	-moz-opacity: 1;
	-khtml-opacity: 1;
	opacity: 1;
}

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
