Customizing a custom theme

[DLP1]

Hi,

I am using the clarity theme that I purchased from Luminous Themes. I sent them a question 10 days through their portal but so far I haven't received even an acknowledgment.

There is a green stripe on the bottom of the page that looks so out of place that I can't understand the reasoning behind it. I am trying to change the color to comething that's close to the dark gray section that sits right above it. Any idea how to do this?

Thank you!

Is your site a free weebly subdomain?  I believe you can get rid of it with any paid plan.

Hi,

No, it's not a free subdomain. It is my domain. Weebly of course can't help since I'm not using their using theme.

If you have a paid hosting plan from weebly the theme itself would have some option.  If not then it is not that hard.  If you know bit CSS/html you may be able to do it rather easily.

Hello,

What is the name of your website? Maybe I can see how you can remove that strip.

Hi Tjaard,

It is www.tatooshmedia.com. You will see a green strip at the very bottom of the page. I hope you'll be able to help me.

Thanks!

Hello DLP,

In your theme there a piece of code that declares a background with the hexadecimal code of #5d963f

To change this go on the Theme tab to Edit HTML/CSS. 

There you find I think the main_style.css file. In that file seach for the code #5d963f and change it to #222222 the color of your Footer. 

That is is!

Any questions? Let me know.

Hello Tjaard,

Thanks for your help. I did everything you suggested but I did not find a line containing this particular code #5d963f. Could you check just to make sure you copied the right value?

Thanks again!

Hello DLP,

On the screenshot you can see the hex code for the green element. 

I hope this helps. 

If you want that I fix it then let me know. You can contact me on my Dutch site www.vp-design.nl

Hi Tjaard,

I am not an idiot, I swear ;-). I used the "inspect" function in Chrome to locate the line, just like you did, but when I open the "main_style.css" file and search for "5d963f", it just is not there. I attached the screenshot so you can see that I was looking in the right place.

Hello DLP,

Another way to seach for that code is in the main_style.css seaching for background. The search brings you to the first instance of that code element. Is that not the one that causing the green background then scroll down for another.

I hope this helps you to find that little .....

Hi Tjaard,

Thank you for doing this with me, I appreciate it. I had searched for background, too, but that did nothing. However, I did manage to fix it!!!....and the problem was hiding in the header, not in the "main_style.css". I went and changed the color in all different headers and now it looks great. Thanks again!

Cheers
