    Hello!

    I would like to make the slider text area background white instead of black? I will also need to make the text black instead of white.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks!

    Sue:

    To update the black background of the excerpt, update this section in your stylesheet:

    
    
    .content .genesis_responsive_slider .slide-excerpt {
    	background-color: #222;
    	filter: alpha(opacity=100);
    	height: 100%;
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 4% 5.5%;
    	opacity: 1;
    }
    
    

    To change the text from white to black, update this section:

    
    .content .genesis_responsive_slider h2,
    .content .genesis_responsive_slider h2 a {
    	color: #fff;
    	font-size: 20px;
    	font-size: 2rem;
    	font-weight: 700;
    	text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    
    .content .genesis_responsive_slider p {
    	color: #ddd;
    }

    thank you and thank you! - Susan I have another question you may know. On the Executive Pro theme, would it be possible to have an area directly under the slider for text? I am thinking this would have to be done by someone that can tweak a theme, but am just wondering if it's possible??

    Thank you and thank you!!

    Hi @all,

    I also wanted to change the background of the slider excerpt. I used this code to have some transparency:

    .content .genesis_responsive_slider .slide-excerpt {
    background-color: #222;
    filter: alpha(opacity=70);
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4% 5.5%;
    opacity: 0.7;
    }

    But whereever I change it, it does not work. I tried it in the customizer additional css and also in the style.css..

    Whats wrong?
    Thanks so much for your help.
