Body Style Color

[solomusicon]

Hello,
I saw that there are two body style colors, dark and light. I’d like white. Where is the code to change it?
Thanks.

Hello,

I apologize, but there is no feature in the theme for this, unfortunately, and would be a customization you’d need to make.

Using the boxed layout, it’s going to be sort of tricky. You’d need to re-create the images around the corners and making up the sidebar shadows, along with finding any background color values in the CSS. You’ll find the corresponding PSD files for the corners of the boxed layout in “All Files And Documentation” download package from ThemeForest.

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.

Also, see this file of the theme: http://demoblvd.com/themes/alyeska/wp-content/themes/alyeska/assets/css/shape/boxed-light.css

… Just make sure you don’t actually edit any files of the theme, or you’re going to lock yourself into never being able to update. Make sure all your customizations are coming from a child theme.

Hello,
I found the PSD files, but I need to find out where the .jpg or .png images are. Exactly the ligh box background. Where is it located? Fire bug doesn’t help me at all with this issue 😀
Thanks,

The images are going to go in your child theme (wherever you want), and then you point your custom CSS to them.

Look at that file I referenced above, and you see where that default CSS is referencing background images within the theme relative to the CSS file? — Well, you’re just going to copy that same CSS, but adjust it so it’s referencing images in your child theme, which is what you’re making with the PSD’s.

Making a customization like this is, and other stylistic customizations, is going to take some effort on your part to learn about CSS and basic child theming, which are very common topics on the Internet with tons of resources for learning. In the end, you’ll be so happy that you did, because you’re going to be able to do so much more in the future with other things that come up. Learning to use tools like Firebug, or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools (my personal favorite) are essential to making CSS customizations. This will also help you out tremendously.

Thank you so much, I did it. Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools finally helped me out.

Best regards.
