 * Hi, I use the theme Harmonic for my website ([http://bookingboavista.com](http://bookingboavista.com))
   but as it looks very dark, I would like to change the bar at the top where there
   is the menu to white with the fonts in black or dark gray. Someone can help me?
   thanks, Ayana

 * Yes, Harmonic is a dark theme!
 * To change the colour scheme in the top header strip (called the masthead) means
   adding a few different pieces of CSS in your child theme, since there are various
   elements in the masthead including the site title, social icons, as well as the
   menu.
 * This piece will change the background colour of the strip itself to white
 *     ```
       #masthead {
         background-color: #ffffff;
       }
       ```
   
 * To get the site title showing up again, add this:
 *     ```
       #masthead h1 a {
         color: #666666;
       }
       ```
   
 * To bring back the social icons, add this:
 *     ```
       .social-links ul li a::before {
         color: #000000;
       }
       ```
   
 * The menu should already be visible in grey at this point, but you’ll want to 
   change the rollover colour from white to something else. I pulled a turquoise
   colour from your image:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation li a:hover {
         color: #37758f;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should get you started. Of course you can change the colour codes to whatever
   you like.
