Minimum Color Scheme

[socialspark]

I want to change my theme (Minimum) from the default color of orange (for all of the hyperlinks) to another one of the colors listed in the demo theme - but I can't find where to do it! I know that I could go into CSS and change the color of all of the links to whatever I want, but I'm just wondering if there's a setting in the theme to do it like there is in the Executive theme.

Thanks!

As fas as I can see there're no color option with the Minimum Pro theme so I would guess you would have to go into your Style,css file and make the changes accordingly. I did come across this StudioPress tutorial that might help.. http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/color-style-options/

Thanks, I'll try that.

Seems strange that they would promote several color schemes as options and then not include the option to change them by default.

Yes I can understand your concerns but not all of StudioPress themes have this option. What are you wanting to change as far as colors?

I am assuming you have the Minimum Pro version install for this to work. I made correct changes for this to work with the Minimum Pro theme just following the instructions below and you should be ok.

First I recommend that you have a backup copy of any of the files you are going to alter just as a safety precaution.

STEP-1
Now copy the following PHP code and add it to your ( function.php file ) to give you the color option support. Click save

//* Add support for additional color style options
add_theme_support( 'genesis-style-selector', array(
	'minimum-pro-brown'  => __( 'Minimum Pro Brown', 'minimum pro' ),
	'minimum-pro-green'  => __( 'Minimum Pro Green', 'minimum pro' ),
	'minimum-pro-orange' => __( 'Minimum Pro Orange', 'minimum pro' ),
	'minimum-pro-purple' => __( 'Minimum Pro Purple', 'minimum pro' ),
	'minimum-pro-red'    => __( 'Minimum Pro Red', 'minimum pro' ),
	'minimum-pro-teal'   => __( 'Minimum Pro Teal', 'minimum pro' ),
) );

STEP-2

Here's the CSS codes you'll need to allow you to add the different options, Just copy this and add it to your ( style.css file ) and click save. You should be good to go.

How would you change the link color?

It's set to black with underline text highlight, but I can't figure out where to change the text color and there doesn't seem to be tutorial for this?

Thanks!

[RobG]

Hi Ryan I just took a look at your website and I don't see the black with underline text maybe I'm missing it.

Hello! These codes have been fantastic! Thank you!

I am also curious how I can change the background to a darker color?
