 * I cannot figure out how to do the following things with this theme:
    1) how do
   I globally change the colors for the theme (I don’t mean the background color….
   I mean the background and colors for all the Homepage elements, as well as the
   buttons and fonts. 2) how do I change the size of slider images so they fit within
   the slider? I have altered my image significantly in size but it does not render
   any different when I add to the slider I’m guessing it’s a function of changing
   the CSS…. assuming you can provide that code, I also wonder whether it’s better
   to add the CSS within the Custom CSS in the Theme General Options, or, the Simple
   Custom CSS plugin? Thanks much for your quick response(s).

 * Also too, do I need to create a child theme in order to accomplish the above?
