Skin color change problems

    Hi all.

    I was previously using a child theme to change my skin colours to purple, following Dave Bardell’s very useful guide.

    The latest update broke this skin colour change using a child theme, and I checked to make sure the theme wasn’t using “minified” settings.

    I went back to the code snippet page http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/create-new-skin-color/ and saw there was a method 2, involving custom CSS, which I used instead, removing the child theme completely.

    Now I have a couple of instances where the red colour theme still “shines through”.

    The website is http://www.hacfp.co.uk , and as you can see the unhighlighted “Home” link on the top bar is still red, and the markup information on post comments is as well.

    Does anyone have any tips to fix this?

    1) That Red is showing you which is the active menuitem – try clicking on some of the other items and you’ll see them change to red.

    If you don’t like that, then you need to change this:

    .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-item > a, .navbar .nav > li.current-menu-ancestor > a {
  color: blue;
}

    2) To change the Comments text, change this:

    code {
  color: blue;
}

    Note also that in the case of the (2) code, red is the colour for all skins, not just the red skin.

    Hi, that has fixed the active page area.

    The slider highlight is still red, as are the “pips” next to the recent news items on the sidebar. Any ideas?

    1) Slider controls

    a.carousel-control:hover {
color: #660099;
}

    2)Pips

    .widget.widget_archive li:before, .widget.widget_categories li:before, .widget.widget_calendar li:before, .widget.widget_pages li:before, .widget.widget_links li:before, .widget.widget_meta li:before, .widget.widget_recent_entries li:before, .widget.widget_recent_comments li:before, .widget.widget_nav_menu li:before, .widget.widget_rss li:before {
