base css edit

Lemovici / 2013-04-24 01:44:23   

Just kicking the tires and doing some basic aesthetic adjustments. I previously duplicated the appropriate files to create my own theme, and
am currently trying to edit the base.css file under the newly made theme.
Wanting to change the section title color, yet the color change is not showing. The code change does show up however, when adjusting the same file virtually in firebug.

Method:
File permissions are 0644, used FTP to Download base.css> Amend Code > Upload/Overwrite change to base.css file via FTP

  1. Editing base.css (of my theme):
  2. /* styles for the section titles */
  3. #index ul.section span.section_title, 
  4. #index ul.section span.section_title a 
  5. { color: #804000; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; /* font-size: 18px; */ }

Can you show us your site - we'll look directly at the file.

Thanks for the response....
It's not exactly a totally functioning site yet, but here you go. The "In Development" title is what I was working to change, by just adding the color code.

Your link didn't work - just cut and paste the url...

How did you edit that? Simply use ftp and a code editor. I recommend Coda if you are using a Mac (use the free trial to get the hang of it - best tool out there for this kind of thing).

This is what is happening...

  1. color: #804000;

Your editor is adding bad stuff to the CSS.

Thanks for taking a look.
I could not even see that happening... Ok, I will look into it. I was using Aptana3 and Cyberduck ftp on the Mac.
I will see if I can resolve the issue.

Well, that info made it much easier.
Thanks again.
