Hi Valerie,
changing the skin color applies different colors to the menu items when you mouse over them.
Of course changes all the other elements such page/post titles, buttons and so on.
If you want to change the default color of the menu items a bit of css can be added in the Customize options of Customizr, you don’t need a child-theme for basic stuff, but you do need to write or paste couple of lines of code:
.navbar .nav > li > a {
color: #e67fb9 !important;
}
Omg you’re right, it IS the hover color! And just now I tried turning on the tag line and now I see the new color IS there!
Thanks so much Giorgio! I don’t understand the CSS stuff, but this answers my question and works well enough for me!
Glad it helped,
I subscribed on the book newsletter… looks funny!
Even with the screwed-up ever-changing color scheme? Ha ha! Thanks for signing up! I just had an anxiety attack though because I didn’t get notified of a new newsletter sign-up and I thought my mail program had failed, but I looked you up and see you attempted to subscribe but didn’t click the Confirmation email. It probably got sent to your Spam or Promotions folder, sorry! I don’t have enough money yet for one of those fancy “high-performing” email services, ha ha!
I got it!
2 things:
1. your hosting provider HostGator is not one of the best you can have in the US and it’s not cheap neither for what they offer.
Consider something more reliable like
http://www.site5.com/in.php?id=208302
It is cheaper, it has better performance and the tech support is just outstanding!
2. the link for the direct download does not work, but maybe it is a Dropbox problem
Yay you did it, thanks again!
Oh crap really the Dropbox link doesn’t work? So sorry, I will check that out – it was working before.
Thanks for the recommendation on the hosting – I already paid for a year of HostGator but I’ll save that site5 in Evernote for when the year is up!
I’ll check later, it appears to be a Dropbox issue
Yes it is Dropbox! What a shoddy service! GRRR! This is what they say:
Dropbox is in read-only mode until 12 pm PT due to planned site maintenance.
Sorry about that – guess I’ll be looking for a replacement for them too, arrghh!
