Theme thumbnail isn't the same

    While browsing the wordpress themes, the thumbnail for Newsworthy shows the colors as all blue, and that’s what I wanted. After activating the theme, all the blue boxes beside the posts are yellow. Can this be changed? I personally really hate yellow.

    I feel like the thumbnail isn’t an accurate representation because I haven’t been able to find a setting that will allow me to get rid of the yellow and have the total blue layout that’s shown in the preview.

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

    Hi Heather

    The only way to change those colors are to edit the custom CSS, which requires a premium or business level account.

    If you do have the upgraded account, you’ll want to add the following code to your custom css editor:

    .posted-meta {
    background: #00aeef;
    border: 1px solid #fff;

}

    I do see that there are two different thumbnails showing for the Newsworthy theme. One at https://wordpress.com/themes/newsworthy, which shows the yellow, and another inside the theme selector page, which shows the blue. I’ll let the staff know that it’s not consistent and see what can be done to change that.

    Hi there,

    I see the thumbnail on wordpress.com/design indeed shows blue tabs, but if you click on that thumbnail to see more information about the theme you’ll see that all screen shots as well as the theme demo shows the yellow tabs. I’ve reported the matter so the thumbnail can be updated.

    The only way to change that colour is using custom CSS, as @melindahelt indicated.
