In reply to: Antisnews colour changesYou can go to Install Themes and search for “antisnews” and it will show up.

In reply to: Antisnews colour changesHere’s a link: http://www.antisocialmediallc.com/2009/08/news-magazine-wordpress-theme-antisnews/
But this one is paid; my version was free. Right now, I can’t find where to get the free version. I did find it by using the official WordPress site for themes.

In reply to: Antisnews colour changesCertainly; here it is: http://www.jacobehlers.com/wordpress/
I’ve looked at “View Source” but could not find out anything except that the key seemed to be finding the detailed CSS for <h2>.
Is there a good guide to Antisnews anyplace? I surely haven’t been able to find one.
New question: Can one create a “child theme” for any theme (or almost any)?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Antisnews colour changesPS to above:
Here’s the code I find:
#tier2 .tier2c .top h2 {
background:<?php echo $featured3h2backgroundcolor;?>;
color:<?php echo $featured3h2fontcolor;?>;
<?php if(isset($featured3h2backgroundcolor) && !empty($featured3h2backgroundcolor) && !($featured3h2backgroundcolor == “none”) ){?>padding:5px 0px 5px 10px;margin-bottom:10px;<?php } else {?>margin-bottom:10px;<?php } ?>
font-size:<?php echo $featured3h2fontsize;?>;
font-weight:<?php echo $featured3h2fontweight;?>;
}This defines h2, but I can’t find where the next level of definition is to set the color as desired.

In reply to: Antisnews colour changesI have the same question:
Where do I change colors of the Category titles?
I am using WP 3.0.1.I can find no reference to “tier” or <h2> in style.css.
However, in style.php I did find what looked like the reference above. However, it just gives a php variable. No place does it give a color in hex —at least no place that I can find.
Also, the editors give no line numbers.
I thought perhaps the category rectangle with the rounded corners was an image used as a background image. I can find no such image.
Surely someone must have cracked the code for theme Antisnews with WP 3.0.1! I’d appreciate help!
If I understand you correctly, the files whose permission you want to change are on the server, NOT on your hard-drive.

My problem has been solved, so I will mark this thread “Resolved.”
You might want to start a new thread with your questions.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do I change background colors?I was able to create new background image, upload it, and change the background color. That’s enough to prove that I know how to do it if I choose to go to all the work.
Who would have guessed that the background, of all things, was an image —especially when it has a body background color in the CSS????
Perhaps the Kubrick Default theme should have a big “NOTICE- this is a non-standard theme” stamped all over it. Isn’t it a desservice to new users to make such a “weird” theme the default??
Anyway, I’ll consider this case closed. Thanks for getting me on the right track, moshu. kaw

In reply to: How do I change background colors?Thanks, moshu and muwood. Now I feel better! Being an engineer, there HAS to be a good reason for everything. And now I understand –at least the basics of why I couldn’t modify Default.
I really appreciate your answers. See, I knew I’d learn something!
But that leaves me with two more questions, if you don’t mind:
1. Does the image include the 2.5 inch margin along each side, outside of what looks like a page? If not, body background color should change it. Also, where/what’s the image(s)? (Whoops, I think moshu answered this; I’ll check.)
2. Why does style.css include body and page background colors if they do nothing???????? (Just to trap guys like me and keep the thread going?? 😉 )If I get good answers to these, I’ll back off! kaw

In reply to: How do I change background colors?Thanks, LDL. I get the message: go find something else, ANYTHING else!
But by now, modifying Default has become a challenge! I’ve a pretty good time investment into it, and then you tell me, almost, “It can’t be done!” —well, that turns it into a challenge for me!
Look at all I could learn if I could figure out how to do it!
Can anyone tell me? It MUST be possible! kaw
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do I change background colors?OK, so where is the CSS which I need to change?
I do know my way around CSS and HTML. I have already gone into style.css and changed both body and page background colors. But they did not change on my site.
You said it only involves CSS. That’s good news to me! I haven’t seen any CSS anyplace except in style.css. Is that the only place?
Hope you can point me to what it is that I need to change.
Thanks, Keith
