Category heading color

Jadeway

Is there a fairly simple way to change the colours of the category text in the category menu? It would be nice if I could have categories one Colour (as headings) and the sub (nested) categories a different colour. Currently they all default to the same colour.

Basically I want to display the Categories as headings but I want to post in those categories as well otherwise I would just turn on that feature in the dashboard.

thanks gang

something like this maybe.

for
li class="Depth1

.PanelInfo li.Depth1 a {
   background-color:red;
   }

There is a pretty simple way to change the color of anything. You need to learn to use your web developer tools - e.g. firebug or the chrome developer tools or whatever. Then you can identify the element name you want to change. In the previous thread you may have learned how to change themes through reading the documentation and modifying the css and creating a custom.css. this lesson is using your browser tools for color css questions

So your answer is figure it out on your own hey.

Anyone else have an idea...I'm having a tough time changing just the main category color/styles without changing all the text styles.

Post image of the issue and site link, should be fairly easy.

Was hoping I could have each main category a different color or bold...something to distinguish them a bit more.

Great! nice followup. now study up on using inspect and read some tutorials on your web tools or firebug, css.
