Hi,

First i would like to thank you, i just discovered Indexhibit and i love it !

i'm trying to change the color of my name on the menu of my site, and can't find the way to do it. i'm new on css.

- should i edit the "style.css" file ? or should i write some code in the "main" page ?

- what code should i write / modify ?

i've been looking on the forum, and trying by myself, but i didn't find... thanks a lot for your help.

Bonjour Sébastien,

There are always many ways to do what you're trying to do, but from my experience it tends to be better to first add thing to CSS then if required change the HTML.

All that said, your name seems to be in a "title" tag, so I would suggest adding a style for that tag in your style.css:


title{ color:#FF000; }

Of course, you can change the color to the color you want :)

You can also find a fairly complete reference for CSS2 over at w3schools

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer Antoine.
I've been trying to edit my style.css file a lot of times, but i didn't succeed.
I've been looking the style.css file of others participants, and i found the way to change the color of the menu, but i only want to change the color of my name, not the rest of the menu. thanks to anyone who can help me.
the adress of my style.css is :

Sébastien,

I've looked at your page again and, forget about my previous post (I was probably in need of some sleep), the simplest solution would probably be the following:

In your header, where you've put your name, edit the html (I think it should be accessible in the settings menu if you turn "advanced mode" on) to look like this:

(p class="title")>Sébastien Dolidon(p) *change the () for proper html tag brackets

then in your style.css add the following class definition:

.container p.title{color: #FF0000;}

This should give you a bright red color for only that part of your page (since you have only one "p" tag with a class name of title. Of course you should change the color to your liking :)

I hope this helps.

Hi Antoine, I was trying to do the same thing as Sebastien. But now my name shows up twice (in the original black color, and underneath in the color I wanted).

Do you know how I can get rid of the original title?

Thanks for any help!!

Tommy
