You're right Susan, it's in the CSS. Wes, have a look in Firebug and you'll see where you need to change the color in the stylesheet.
Hi Wes,
I changed the styling of my Simple Social Icons in the widget box interface. It was super easy. Have you tried doing it that way?
The live site is in "coming soon" mode, and the client is collecting emails and subscriptions via the contact form and subscription form on the "coming soon" page, so I can't post a url to the live site. I wish I could! At this point, I think the site can live without the breadcrumbs anyway. There are only so many things one can fix and the site is so easy to navigate anyway.
I do worry there's something wonky going on with Genesis 2.0 that might mess up other aspects of the site, but until that happens, I guess I'll just live with it as is. As I understand it, Agency hasn't been updated to 2.0 yet, so maybe it will all come right when Agency is updated?
You've been very kind to take and interest and try to help me, Anitac , and I do appreciate your generosity of time and attention. I hope when I learn to drive this new-to-me Genesis Framework better I can "pay it forward" and help others.
I'm wondering if I should mark this "resolved"? I'm new to the forums as well as Genesis, so I'm not clear on how to proceed. I'm happy and consider it resolved, but the problem isn't solved and the developers may want to have a look at this funny glitch while they're ironing out the bugs in 2.0.
Genesis 2.0 came packaged with the Agency theme I bought and so that is what I am using on both sites.
The test server is on my desktop (xampp running on Windows7) and the live site is hosted by InMotion.
I'm quite puzzled by this. I thought maybe I accidentally goofed up the code somewhere while trying to fix the slider, but I don't know what is happening because the same thing happens on a fresh install of the zipped folder I downloaded when I purchased. I even tried a fresh install of Genesis just in case something got corrupted when I first installed it or something.
I tried deactivating plugins. No joy. I'm stumped. Same code, different servers, different result. Weird. The only thing I can think of is some plugin is doing it, and I especially suspect Jetpack (and possibly All in One SEO Pack) -- but I get the same thing (no breadcrumb, no gradient) whether or not they are activated.
Yay! Thanks to you, Ive now had that "duh!" moment and smacked myself on the forehead. Yes, I read the instructions. Why couldn't I see that before? I feel like such a ninny now.
I guess sometimes the stresses of life pile up on you and it taxes the old gray cells -- when those times come around, the kindness of strangers can make a huge difference. Thank you for taking the time to be so very kind to me and making that huge difference.
We can consider this resolved now. I am one grateful lady, sir.
Okay, but then what do I do about providing a blog section? I know I could set up a separate blog and link from the home menu, but that's clunky -- not to mention undesirable for a number of reasons.
I'm trying to figure out why the WidgetLogic plugin won't work. That would solve my whole problem. Is it incompatible with Genesis?
Is there some reason those home page widgets can't be transferred to a static home page, leaving the blog free for use as a blog?
Again, thanks! That's helpful information. My client wants to have a blog in his site. Nearly all do. This leaves me wondering why they coded this way. Why not have a static home page as default with all the wonderful widgets and leave open the option of having a regular blog? Then this theme would work beautifully for many of my projects and I'd probably buy the whole pro package.
Again, I think I must not understand the Genesis Framework -- after all, I just got started with it.
How were you able to style the slider on a static home page to look just like it does when the blog is the home page? This must be where I'm going wrong. There must be something I'm just not seeing. I'm feeling like a total idiot and hoping for a "duh" moment where I realize my stupid mistake and can then move on and keep plugging away on the site.
You're a true gem and I'm so grateful for your kind help. I'd be totally lost without you!
I guess that's what I'll have to do. I already have the Nivo slider and it's nice. It's just that I loved the look of the styling on the Agency front page and liked the widgets underneath for directing visitors to other parts of the site (the online tutorials and so forth). I was surprised it only works when the blog is the home page -- it looks like an arrangement businesses would prefer for a static home page. I guess I'll have to add and style the other home page widgets, too. I was hoping this would save me all that time and trouble.
Again, thanks so much for your help. You are very kind and I appreciate it so very much.
Aarg. The linky button doesn't seem to work. Try again:

You're a real peach. Thanks so much for your help!
I get the slider fine, but it's ugly. I tried styling it the same in the stylesheet using #front-slider but nothing changed and it's still so ugly. Maybe I'm overtired and I just can't see where I'm making my mistake (all stressed out over family illness).
