The place where I post I have managed to change to a off-white which is what I wanted… how do i fix this? * I would also like my slider to be smaller to fit the pictures i have showing…? * [http://www.asthepalmtreeturns.com](http://www.asthepalmtreeturns.com) * [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/simple-catch/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/simple-catch/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992863) * > Right now the top is plain white, which i would like to change. * The top white section is using a background image; [http://asthepalmtreeturns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/grass3.jpg](http://asthepalmtreeturns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/grass3.jpg). * Are you using a Child Theme or Custom Style/CSS plugin? * [potentweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potentweb/) * (@potentweb) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992888) * Hi Kim, * In your CSS, change this: * ``` #header .top-bg { background-position: center bottom; height: 16px; border-bottom: 4px solid #CCC; } ``` * to * ``` #header .top-bg { background-position: center bottom; height: 16px; border-bottom: 4px solid #CCC; display: none; } ``` * That will only change the top without messing with the same image on the footer. I see your in Newport area, I’m in Irvine, so was surprised when I saw the picture of Triange Square. Anyways, your either going to have to create a child theme so future updates to your theme, NOT WordPress will override your changes, or if your not worried, you can just modify the regular CSS. * Brian * Thread Starter [kimbrlyj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimbrlyj/) * (@kimbrlyj) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992893) * Hi thanks! * that helped. Sorry I have two more questions… How do you change the font color below the slider page, right now its grey. I also would like to change the right side bar trending widget and custom tag widget to not display grey I would like them be just white. * Final question: How do you put boarders around the side bar widgets? * THANK YOU SO MUCH!! * haha yes I am in newport, I like to blog about inside jokes only locals would know….. hope you like it! * [potentweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potentweb/) * (@potentweb) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992894) * Change: * ``` .featured-text { padding: 16px 10px 0; } ``` * to * ``` .featured-text { padding: 16px 10px 0; color: "Your Color"; } ``` * [potentweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/potentweb/) * (@potentweb) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992895) * Also, for the sidebar, change: * ``` #sidebar .custom-tagcloud a { padding: 1px 7px; color: black; background-color: #DDD; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 4px; font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; -moz-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px; } ``` * to: * ``` #sidebar .custom-tagcloud a { padding: 1px 7px; color: black; background-color: white; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 4px; font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; -moz-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px; } ``` * [zolane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zolane/) * (@zolane) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-catch-backround-question/#post-2992992) * where do you place these codes?

I can change the background for the bottom part, but how do we change the header? (Not the slider images) Also, how do I change the font color of the website name (the writing beside the logo?)
