Hi Guys

I’m trying to edit the colours of the Silver is the New Black theme.
I’m only putting the changed code in the box so as not to mess things up.
I’m ONLY changing colours.
When I preview, it’s fine.
When I save, it’s all messed up. The colours aren’t right, the header is HUGE and with tiny writing.

I don’t know if it’s messing up because I was using Sandbox before and had things quite customised but I’ve deleted all that code and saved it blank before I started with this….any help? Non techy speak please!!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks fine to me. Try logging out, clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, and check it again.

It looks ok because I deleted all my changes and went back to the basic one, as soon as I change even the header colour, it goes wrong!

Actually, I think it’s doing it… although…

I’m trying to change the pixels of the line/border under the header, it changes apart from the bit that runs above the sidebar box…any ideas?

Thanks

so, you wanted to change the header, cause this is the attribute you would change.
for the bottome border just change the 1px to whatever size
```
#header a {
display:block;
color:#8B0A50;
background-color:#B0B0B0;
border-bottom:1px solid #CD1076;
}
#header a:hover { color: red; background-color: Silver; }
```

also add this to remove the part about the sidebar overlapping when you make the bottom header border big
I just added “background: transparent; ” to the menu class
```
#menu {
padding-left: 7px;
border-bottom: 30px solid #FFF;
background: transparent;
margin-bottom: 30px;
position: absolute;
right: 14px;
top: 83px;
width: 200px; }
```
