 * Im wondering if there is a way to hide the custom CSS in the source code with
   the simple catch theme? Or for WordPress in general?
 * Thanks in advance for responding. I want to add I liked the old theme options
   menu more before the update because you didnt have to open the custom CSS drop
   down back up after saving but the theme is still awesome!

 * Hi BigTuna5000,
 * I am not so clear about your question. But I guess that you don’t want to show
   Custom CSS in your site while viewing the Source in web.
 * In order to do that, You need to consider using child theme and add the custom
   css in your child theme style.css and then it will work great. Check this our
   for Child theme development [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

 * Thanks for your response! I’ll have to look into the child themes but I have 
   one more question if your reading this, Sakin – simple catch pro!
 * Is there a way to make the social icons in the upper right hand corner stay their
   hover colors? I’m not sure how good it would look this way but I’m curious.
 * Thanks!

 * Again this would require a Child Theme or Custom Style/CSS plugin.

 * Thanks for responding Andrew, much appreciated. I was trying to figure it out
   in the custom CSS/styles (I should have mentioned I’d been altering code) but
   I have yet to figure it out.
 * As for the child theme, I’m intigued by the idea but but am not sure if I will
   test one for this site on a domain I have but am not using yet because I don’t
   want to start over on this project (not sure if i can develop it on a name.wordpress.
   com site, download and transfer) or wait to use a child theme on my next site.

 * Hi Andrew,
 * This you can do it from Custom CSS in Theme Option. Don’t need plugin as well.
 * For example to change for facebook just add as below:
    #header .social-search
   ul.social-profile li.facebook a { background-position: 0 -43px; } For Twitter:#
   header .social-search ul.social-profile li.twitter a { background-position: -
   44px -43px; }
