    Hey guys, first time on the forum. Finally so frustrated on something that I assume is so simple, that I’m begging for your assistance lol.. I’m editing my child theme (Twenty-Twelve parent) and I can’t locate where to change the styling of the standard gray comment “submit” button along with the standard gray “menu” button that appears in place of my menu bar when the screen width is less than 600px.. Your time and assistance is much appreciated

    Can’t you locate it through a tool like Firebug? Then override that style through your Child Theme style.css file.

    Thank you for your quick response Andrew.. I’m unfamiliar with firebug but I just looked it up and is there a solution that doesn’t involve downloading Firefox and Firebug? I feel like there should be a block of css to edit or add to just change the appearance of the ‘submit’ button

    1. Open your site in Google Chrome
    2. Right click on the submit button
    3. Select “Inspect element
    4. A new toolbar appears. Look at the right-hand column for the CSS
    5. Scroll that column until you find the style responsible
    6. Copy that responsible style if you want
    7. Then paste it into your Child Theme style.css file
    8. And make your change in your Child Theme style.css file

    The point of the Child Theme is to keep the parent theme intact while you modify it, by extending it. You don’t actually edit the original styles, you override them. Firebug, or an equivalent tool, is just an easier way to find those styles you need to override.
