 * First, I am not as code literate as most but I am working on my second site so
   I’m getting better.
 * Theme: Eino
 * Intended outcome:
    1. To make breadcrumb nav bar disappear. 2. To have text/widget
   boxes with transparent back-grounds, borders & no box-shadows.
 * What I’ve done…
    Using Firebug: 1. I have found and deleted/previewed the breadcrumb
   bar. LOOKS GREAT! 2. I have found and previewed the background-color #FFFFFF 
   as ‘transparent’. LOOKS GREAT! 3. I have found and previewed the box-shadow at
   0px. LOOKS GREAT!
 * Everything looks beautiful and just how I want it. So with Filezilla I download
   the Style.CSS AND Style.min.css to edit with dreamweaver.
 * Problems:
    1. the line #s indicated in Firebug are not consistent. 2. I am unable
   to find any reference to back-ground colors or box-shadows as previously viewed
   in fire bug. 3. I eventually find and delete the ‘breadcrumb’ code (as seen in
   Firebug)and tested it. My site was a mess so I revert back.
 * what am I missing here?
    Thanks

 * The line numbers you found in Firebug, do they actually refer to style.css ? 
   With a lot of themes, you can add custom CSS in the theme options, and those 
   custom styles will then be placed in the HEAD part of every page in the site.
   So perhaps that’s where you need to look?

 * Thanks,
    Some lines refer to STYLE.CSS and others refer to STYLE.MIN.CSS. The
   back-ground color now seems to be pointing to …/wp-admin/customize.php. I don’t
   recall this yesterday, but I could be wrong.
 * When I inspect in Firebug, the blue reference in the upper right of says “CUSTOMIZE.
   PHP #2 (LINE 39) and when I hover it points to …/WP-ADMIN/CUSTOMIZE.PHP. However,
   when I DL and open in DW line 39 looks like…
    _do\_action( ‘customize\_controls\
   _enqueue\_scripts’ );_
 * I _Ctl-f_ to find the text I’m looking for and it doesn’t exist.
 * Good news is, I was able set the ‘box-shadow’ to 0px. It was in the themes CSS
   subfolder. Which ,again, I did not see this reference yesterday.
 * I’m really at the end of my code wits.

 * I’d suggest posting on the forum specific for this theme
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/theme/eino](http://wordpress.org/support/theme/eino)
 * The developer will see it there.

 * But, BTW, you should not be modifying any theme files – as your changes will 
   be overwritten when the theme is updated. It’s advisable to make changes in Custom
   CSS (theme option or add by a plugin) or use a child theme –
