    Hi all,

    I'm using Altitude Pro. I changed my header background from black to white, but now my navigation text is invisible. I'm fiddling around with various settings, but can't seem to find it. Where is it?

    THANK YOU!!

    The nav menu font color is controlled in your stylesheet here:

    .genesis-nav-menu a {
    	color: #fff;
    	display: block;
    	font-size: 14px;
    	font-weight: 200;
    	letter-spacing: 1px;
    	padding: 30px 15px;
    	text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    If that doesn't resolve your issue, post a link to your site...

    You are amazing!! Thank you!!

    I have one other question, that I would be very grateful to know the answer to. Now, when I scroll down, the menu turns black again. I would actually like to just keep it static at the top. Any idea how? THANKS AGAIN!!!!

    To change the background from black to white when scrolling, update this section:

    
    .site-header.dark {
    	background-color: #000;
    }
