color of nav header text

Permalink
So I have this site built on the default Plain Yogurt theme:
http://www.jodeurbrouck.com/

I changed the text color of the theme using customize from the dashboard to make it a darker gray from the default text color. But I cannot get the text color in the nav header block (or the footer for that matter) to pick up the change to the text color made to the theme. Why not? Isn't that text color inherited? I tried editing it at the page block level using the design option, but it doesn't accept the change there. What do I need to do?

Thanks.

To change the nav color go to your themes main.css and on line 27 change

#page #header ul.nav-header li a, #page #header ul.nav-header li a:hover {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;

Change 999999 to another color code. List of hex colors here or google for color codes

That will change the color of nav font, on a side note change text decoration to what you would like as well there's a ton, but here`s some ideas to get you started.

ext-decoration:overline}
{text-decoration:line-through}
{text-decoration:underline}
{text-decoration:blink

I have the same problem and I'm and totally new to this. Therefore, I've only been able to attempt changes via the c5 interface.

How do I make the change you've suggested? Can I use notepad and

sorry, I accidentally posted the previous before I was ready.

I'm not sure I'm editing the correct main.css

This is the one I'm changing:
public_html/pcc808/concrete/themes/default/main.css

I made the change of #999999 to #333333 (a dark gray), saved and closed the file. But the change isn't taking place. I tried to re-publish the site but nothing, cleared the cache but nothing.

Can you tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks

It would be best to make a copy of the default theme and place it in: public_html/pcc808/themes

That way when it comes to update your site you won't loose all your changes.

Hope that helps.
