  Do you have the standard version or have you opted for the custom design upgrade? I’ve noticed some themes may let you change a few colors while others won’t.

  Here it is in a little more detail:

  stefynamarie note that empiretouring has already purchased a custom design upgrade and posted here in the correct support forum for help with CSS editing.

  empiretouring please wait patiently for help with your CSS editing.

  Try adding this:

  // This affects the menu background
  #access .menu {
  	background: #cccccc;
  }
  
  // This affects the magnifying glass (search) icon to the right
  #access .menu ul li.search-box-wrapper .search-form button {
  	background: #cccccc;
  }
  
  // This affects the search area to the right that shows up after the icon is clicked
  #access .menu ul li.search-box-wrapper.boom button, #access .menu ul li.search-box-wrapper.boom input[type="text"] {
  	background: #333333;
  }

  Use your own color there, of course.

  I have a navigation menu listing all the pages on top of every page and how can I make the category title such as Accessories not be a page where you can’t get into since the page is empty but Accessories has a drop down list of pages such as Jewelry, Handbags, etc. where one can click into.

  The category Stores and Malls has a drop down list and I also have pages such as Wal-Mart on the navigation menu: How can I click onto the page “Wal-Mart” and go directly to the Wal-Mart website instead of going to my home page to again click on the Wal-Mart ad to actually go to their site?

  @kaligtuq, I see your site is currently suspended and you need to discuss that with the ToS department to get that straightened out. There is a link in your dashboard to contact them directly.

  Since you are using a different theme than the one discussed in this thread, can I ask that you create a new thread in the CSS forum on this issue so as to prevent confusion for people coming to this thread in the future. Many thanks in advance.
