Hi,

To do these things you will find it very useful to get Firebug for Firefox – you will be able to see how things are styled, and where they appear, so you can change them.
Having said that, here is something to get you going:

In your style.css file, find the terms below and replace/remove/add values as necessary >
For the Header:

.header {
     background: none;
}

#inner-header {
     background: #fff;
     padding: 20px 40px;
}

For the Navigation:

header nav {
     background: none;
}

…and add this

header nav .wrap {
    background: #333;
}

For the search bar:
Remove this >

.gdf-modern-home .geodir-loc-bar {
    max-width: 100%;
}

and change this >

.geodir-loc-bar-in {
     background: #333 /* change to your hex or rgba colour value */;
}

For the Dashboard title, is it just that one, or all the widget titles in the sidebars (I think i already covered that in another post)

I understand your frustration, but i am not seeing bolded text in either Firefox, Chrome or IE.
Maybe you have a browser extension, or something running which would cause this issue for you?

Ys, in there too – see image

Hi,
Good news 🙂

Hi,
Add these to your style.css
For search widget:

.geodir-loc-bar-in {
    background: none;
}

For category widget:

.geodir-category-list-in {
    background: none;
}

The comment area background is picking up the style from your Modern Blogger theme on line 1506:
Remove the line with the “background” property ( or replace with background:none; )

Hi Joe,

Try adding this for the image >

.geodir_category_list_view li .geodir-post-img .geodir_thumbnail {
     width: auto;
}

@manilaboy – I don’t think Paolo was favouring Genesis over GDF…sfamilia stated he wanted an alternative to GDF. I prefer Genesis simply because i’ve been using it for quite a while for many projects, and i love the clean simplicity, ease of customisation and community support for the framework.
