Messing With Colors Addon / CSS
5 replies · Started by Sean on August 20, 2016
So, we can have background/hoverbackgrounds for menu items. I would love to see that as an option for normal links in the contant area, and as an option as well for the widgets area, etc. I've been messing around with some CSS trying to get it to work the way I want. But I can't seem to limit it to certain areas, nor can I have it different colors in different areas. Once I add the CSS, it applies to all of the links regardless. Any chance we can see some kind of improvement in the colors addon in the future?

Background colors for normal links?
and as an option as well for the widgets area
What kind of option? There's background, text, link, link hover and widget title color options as of right now.
Currently, we are able to add background color/background hover color to Primary Navigation. And as well in the Form options, which is pretty neat. However, if you look at other section's(content, footer, sidebar widgets, footer widgets, etc) color options, those hyperlink Background Color/Background Hover Color are not an option like they are in the Primary Navigation section. I just thought it could be a little more in depth, and offer than in all areas of the website. It definitely looks like the capability is there.
Navigation items typically have background colors with and without hover though - you don't usually see that with normal links on a page.
Links within content usually just have a link color and a hover color - adding a background color and hover color would be two extra options each, not sure how many people would utilize them to make it worth it.
Do you find yourself adding the same CSS all the time for your sites?
I'm novice with CSS. Like I can figure out certain things. But I do tend to add some CSS effect to different websites. I'm having difficulty limiting CSS effects to only work in certain areas. Mainly the content area versus the foot widgets area. I was aiming to have a super minimal blog, and thought background links would look pretty neat. http://erixon.me/
Cool, thanks for the suggestion! If I get more people requesting it I'll definitely look at adding those options :)
