[Theme: Twenty Twelve] How to change color/looks of menu and sub-manu

    Hi experts,

    I’ve recently installed WP and started to build a website, changing the looks here and there via a style.css in a child theme. Now I have a concern with the menu bar: I like the look of the menu bar so far (green, white lines top and bottom, centered). But the sub-menus are now totally messed up.

    I didn’t find the css-code related to sub-menus in the original style.css file of twenty twelve, so I’m more or less clueless what to alter.

    What I would like is that the sub-menus ans sub-sub-menus remain in their original twenty twelve state: greyish blocks with dark grey fonts.

    Hope you can support me with this.

    Consider using Google Chrome’s Developer Tool for this kind of work.
    Look how easy it is to expose underlying HTML and CSS, applied to your page elements https://snag.gy/gTr0L.jpg .

    Hi Andrew,

    I’ve been able to get rid of all the nuisance in the sub-menus with the help of the developers tool.

    But now I got stuck on one specific issue, I can’t figure this one out myself.

    When a page is selected from one of the submenus, the text in the main menu bar turns to bold (which is good), but the text in the submenu turns white (which is wrong) and bold (which is good).

    Is there a way in the syle.css to keep the font color of the selected submenu item black? Hope you can help

    I would like the menu on twenty twelve website be bolder. How do I do this? https://www.heathcotehavenbb.com
