 * I was wondering how i change the text color of the “home” tab? I can get the 
   others to change but not that. I have the “home” tab set up under the menus as
   custom so when its clicked it links to the front page instead of creating a new
   page from scratch.
 * Also, how do i change the color of the white box in the menu area?
 * Link below, working offline on website.

 * Thanks

 * I will assume that you know how to use css code to change colors by your statement
   above. I think this is what you are looking for:
 *     ```
       /* Menu Items */
       .navbar .nav > li > a {}
   
       /* Menu Hover */
       .navbar .nav > li > a:hover {}
   
       /* Menu Current Selected */
       .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-item > a, .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-ancestor > a {}
       ```

 * yes, i understand css coding a bit, a beginner though.
 * the menu items and menu hover coding seems to only control the menu text other
   than the “home” text. which is how i originally discovered that “home” was not
   changing color.
 * when i add the “menu current selected” coding it seems to change the background
   color of the rest of the website, not the menu box area. :/

 * Here is the menu css for [THIS SITE](http://www.resultsresumes.net). Take a look
   at the site and the css below.
    The Menu items are Black, hover is blue, and 
   current is red.
 *     ```
       .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-ancestor > a, .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-item > a {
           color: #F00;
       }
   
       .navbar .nav > li > a:focus, .navbar .nav > li > a:hover {
           background-color: transparent;
           color: #0000ff;
           text-decoration: none;
       	}
   
       .navbar .nav > li > a {
           float: none;
           text-decoration: none;
           text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #FFF;
           color: #000;
       	font-size: 20px;
           padding: 5px 10px;
       }
   
       .navbar .nav > li > a:first-letter {
           font-size: 25px;
       }
       ```
