This is what I use: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/
I didn't experience that in my editor. When I changed the inner color it only changed the background for Home Middle 1, 2 and 3. When I applied the change below, only that area turned black.
#inner {
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
background-color: #000;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 20px auto 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 25px 29px 30px;
width: 900px;Ok, I clicked a bunch tabs over and over and didn't see anything wrong. And I drag my clients kicking and screaming to my Hostgator reseller account:-)
Go into your Genesis settings and scroll down. You should see a drop down to choose between a text or image logo. If not, click "Appearance" - "Themes" - "Customize" - "Site Title & Tagline" then uncheck to display text.
Install the Genesis Simple Headers plugin, upload logo. Make sure you have selected "image" logo in your Genesis settings.
My two cents:
I find this forum amazing. It's not often you can buy a product and get free advice on how to customize it. Buying any WP framework implies that you have some level of working knowledge of PHP and CSS. If not...fine - there are detailed set-up instructions that come with the purchase of any theme.
I'm learning as I go and there's no better tutorial out there than spending some time here and reading the answers to questions. I think I've learned more about styling here in a few weeks I've been on this board than over the past year.
So I get back to my amazement here that people are willing to dedicate their time, for free, to help people customize their themes. All other forum issues are mute.
I set up themes for a living and am currently learning to customize them. I now ONLY work with Genesis and StudioPress themes. Go ahead and hit a snag or need advice with other theme developers (not to be named, not here to bash) and good luck.
Ok, follow me here:
Open your photo editing program and create a white background that's the length and height of your header. Then place the logo on that background wherever you want it. Save - upload.
How 'bout a cheat. Just put your logo on a transparent background that's the entire length of the header, then upload that. And since your header is white, you could just put your logo in a white background that's the same size as your header and upload that.
Have you tried using this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-headers/
I don't have this theme for but most StudioPress themes to operate like the demo you need to leave the setting to "latest posts."
It's an image file:
#wrap {
background: url(images/bg.png) repeat-x;
}Just replace that image with a red image.
Well, I can solve one of your problems - increasing the header size. Just adjust:
#header {
min-height: 87px;
overflow: hidden;
}Check into this solution for only having your this header show up on the main page: http://www.jonbellah.com/2012/12/genesis-custom-header-for-multiple-page-layouts-and-templates/

Ok, I installed the visual hook plugin...wow - fantastic tool. For Metric, I want the new content area to be below the three content areas: Home Middle 1, 2, 3 and before the footer. Based on the visual guide I guess it would go genesis_before_footer?
The location on Metric would be a new content area below Home Middle 1, 2 and 3 and above the footer. And yes, only on the home page.
Great idea! However, that solves my issue for the 4 widget areas but I still just need to add one widget area in Metric below the three content areas. If I can get that accomplished I'll be set.
Oh, so you want to kill the purple. That's an image. You can either access your theme's image files through cpanel and replace that with another image or while in your admin just upload an image then paste the path in between the parenthesis of (images/wrap.png)
#wrap {
background: url(images/wrap.png) repeat-x;
margin: 0 auto;
}Or...replace the above code with:
#wrap {
background: #000;
margin: 0 auto;
}
