 * In 2.9 the menu drop-downs were changed a bit. They are potentially a lot better
   as there’s a frame you can see them in, but there’s a new issue.
 * The background color of that new frame is a very specific shade of white, and
   my text color is very light. This creates a situation where you can barely see
   the drop-down options.
 * We need to have a color option for that frame’s color, or find another solution,
   as the current situation the menu items are nearly invisible unless moused over.

 * Hello,
 * you can change the background color of the drop-down menu with:
 *     ```
       .sub-menu li {
       background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(0, 0, 0); // put your color between rgb()
       }
       ```
   
 * Place this code in your child style.css or Custom CSS.

 * It was a different issue. The header changed a ton and I made several changed
   in my child theme. I got the new header and it all makes sense now.
 * I’m just not used to working with child themes yet. My bad. Resolved.
