 * As I could not change the back ground of my blog, I installed a plug-in called
   Simple Full-Screen Background Image. I upload the image by the it does not appear
   on the blog. Is it incompatible with the theme to have a background? Ir what 
   did I do wrong?

 * Sorry for my slow reply.
 * If this is the background what you are trying to apply with the plugin (marked
   with the arrows), it is not visible because the theme’s central content holder
   has it’s own white color background. This can be removed by this CSS code:
 *     ```
       .site {
         background-color: transparent;
       }
       ```
   
 * The best way to apply this code by [creating a child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and pasting it in the child theme’s `style.css` file, or with installing the 
   [Simple Custom CSS plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/) 
   and pasting the code in `Dashboard->Appearance->Custom CSS`.

 * Thanks, it worked!
    Now I am trying to change the color of the menus. I succeeded
   with the top horizontal menu, by changing the code color. However it seems that
   the lateral menu won’t change. Is the color code different when the block is 
   semi-transparent? Thank you!

 * Hello!
 * Yes, you are completely right. Because of the transparency, the code needed to
   set the color, uses a little bit differet color system, namely rgba (more info
   on that you can find [here](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp)
   under the RGB and RGBA headings).
 * Currently this is the code which sets the background color of the sidebar menu:
 *     ```
       .widget {
         background-color: rgba(247, 245, 231, 0.7);
       }
       ```
   
 * If you don’t need transparency, than you can change the rgba to the hex value
   settings, so for example if you would like it to have the same color as the main
   menu bar, you could use this code:
 *     ```
       .widget {
         background-color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps you. 🙂 If you have any more questions, just feel free to ask
   them here and I am happy to help you.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your help last time. I could change it.
    Now I try to change the
   color of the pages’ title. I could change the font but I don’t know where the
   color of the text is encoded… Could you give me the location in the css? Thanks!
