    Argh!
    Why do you change the display properties in your updates? I get my site looking just the way I want, then I update the theme and now things are looking different and I have to spend hours trying to figure out what you did so I can put it back to the way it was! A total waste of time.

    This time is not such a big difference, but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
    Previously, I could mouseover h1.site-title and it would have a shadow fade in while the text remained the same colour. Now the text suddenly pops a different colour and there is no shadow! I’ve tried adding

    .site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease 0s;}
.site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {color: #444;}

    to my child stylesheet but it only succeeds in keeping the text colour correct. No shadow appears. What am I missing?

    Can you post a link to your site?

    Also, it’s not necessary to use Caps Lock on your thread titles.

    (Apologies for the caps, but I did feel it was necessary.)

    I don’t see a text-shadow applied to your site title. Is there supposed to be one? Was there one applied to the site title in a previous version?

    This is what I’m saying. I was previously using 3.0.1 and there was a text shadow around the site-title when you hover your mouse over it.

    Somehow the developer decided to change this and now I can’t figure out how to get it back.

    This is reason behind my overheated use of caps – the developer is essentially changing hundreds of websites with his updates. I know his intentions are good and I absolutely appreciate his efforts at creating this wonderful theme, but I need him to stop making changes that affect the display of websites. It takes too much of my time to go back and try to find out how to fix/change/revert what he did, when I should be adding content, etc.

    Ah, okay. You could try something like this, then:

    .site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {color: #444; text-shadow: 2px 2px gray;}

    Yes! That’s got it.
    Thank you so much! 🙂
