Hello, I am trying to modify the colors of the title of the box_grey theme and cannot find out how to change it from the default "green" to a Gold Color. Also, I want to change the default blue font to black. I've tried messing with the style.css file and cannot change anything. Any advice? Thanks.

From your description of the colours it sounds like you're wanting to modify the box_cleanslate sub-theme rather than the main box_grey?

Are you sure you're trying to modify the right style.css? box_cleanslate has it's own stylesheet at '/box_grey/box_cleanslate/style.css'.

It's kind of hard to offer good advice without more detail or a live url to look at.

Yes, i apologize, I am using the box_cleanslate sub-theme. And I was unaware there was a seperate style.css to edit, thank you. I still am not sure what part of the code to edit to get the text to turn black instead of blue and change the slogan to gold. My website is www.buffslist.com. Please let me know if you have any editing advice to change the color schemes, and thank you for the fast reply, very very much appreciated!

These rules affect the header/site name directly, look for those.

#site-name, #header a {
  color:#46C325;
}

#header a:visited {
  color:#46C325;
}

By 'blue text' I assume you mean links, look for all the selectors beginning with a, like a:link, a:hover etc that control link styles.

There are better places than project issue queues for basic CSS tutoring though, take a look at:
http://www.css-discuss.org/
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp

And especially get to grips with the 'Firebug' Firefox extension which will help you identify which rules to edit:

Thanks, it worked!! I am very happy with the final result, and your theme is amazing. Is it possible to change the style so that the links stay black instead of turning blue after they have been clicked once?
THANKS!!

You want to look for and change the link 'visited' pseudo class, in other words look for the selector a:visited – it should be right next to the link styles you were editing before.

Closing this issue.

Here are some places to edit the style.css file for anyone who wants to change really basic colors fast:

line 56: main text color
line 60 and 61: hover colors for main text
line 200: sidebar color settings
line 302 and 311: primary links menu colors
line 647: green primary link color
