Hi,
I rarely touch CSS, so I'm having difficulty understanding how to make some changes on the Minimum Pro theme.
Basically, I want to change the Header, Call to Action and Author Box colors to have a dark background with white text, and also understand where to change the color for the Hover.
Finding how to change the background color in style.css is pretty easy, since it's already in the code. What I don't understand is how to change the text color for just that section, rather than making a global change.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

http://williambeem.comYou will need a web inspector to see which css selectors you need to modify, otherwise you are making a stab in the dark. This allows you to select the tag and make the modifications in your browser so that you can see the result before changing the css file. The inspector will also tell you which line of code to look for in the css file.

Lynne emasai.comThe line of code I need isn't in the CSS file. It's inheriting the color in these sections from a global setting. I've used firebug and the Safari develop settings, but neither shows me anything that isn't already in the code.

http://williambeem.comIt is for the header - on line191 background-color: #161616;
If whatever else you want to style is not there, then you need to add it and style it accordingly in your css file. For example
the 1st widget in the footer is called .footer-widgets-1 line 1315, it uses the background color from the footer. You can simply add a background color, border and padding to .footer-widgets-1 to change it's appearance.

Lynne emasai.comOh, yes. It's definitely there for the header. That was easy for me to change. However, the problem is that I now have dark text on a dark background in the Call to Action area, as you can see on http://william.beem.us
I'm not a developer. All I want to do is change some colors. It baffles me why this is so obfuscated. I tried contacting support and, though they were nice, they refused to help with any CSS issues and referred me here.
I know that I need to add something to my CSS to allow me to change the text color. I just don't know exactly how to add it. As far as I can tell, that's the extent of my problem.
