Changing a colour in Twenty Eleven theme / using child theme

One last suggestion? To make your menu bar much prettier… go to line 13 of that same styles.css file and change:

background: linear-gradient(#FFCC33, #000000)

to:

background: linear-gradient(#FFCC33, #AD6521)

Very dark (actually black color) for the bottom of that menu bar gradient is just too dark… obscures the black text (makes it hard to read).

Enjoy!

Oh my word! Yes, you’re right!
I was looking at it in Internet Explorer, and there is no gradient at all, just solid yellow, which is what I wanted.
Just looked at it in Firefox and see what you mean.
So to get rid of the gradient and just have the solid colour, what do I need to do to that code?

Aha! I’ve done it. I just replaced the black with a pale orange. So it shows as a slight gradient in Firefox and a solid yellow in IE and Opera.

Thanks so much for pointing that out to me. I would have realised eventually, since I can’t upload images in IE so always use Firefox for updating, but I wouldn’t have wanted anyone to see it like that!!!

Thanks again.

Yes, just makes the site menu so much brighter and “sunflower” looking!

Would love it if you learned FireFox and Firebug! You would be so much happier with being able to update these types of things yourself there on your end… and being able to help others!

Thanks… glad you are happy with the more cheerful menu!
