 * Hi
 * I am using the TwentyFourteen theme but want to change some of the colours. I
   know some html but am not very familar with css. I have changed the text colour
   ok but would also like to change the box colour that appear when the text is 
   hovered over and also the background colour of the menu bar search box but cannot
   figure out how. Any help would be much appreciated.

 * To change the box color when, when the hovered over text as following code in
   styelsheet:
 *     ```
       .primary-navigation ul ul a:hover{
       background-color:put your desired color code here;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you. I have changed the search box ok but the hover colour is still green.
   I added both bits of code at the bottom.
