    Yes i already got this tools, but when for example i look with firebug in whate line a css is, that whole file i cant find in the css.

    Maybe because its my 1st theme in bought, and its otherwise at other themes but the whole css sheet from the theme is empty. For example if i inspect a element it gives it will be findable in bootstrap.min.css

    That whole file isnt findable anywhere, so how to edit then? Dont know if its about the theme of about me its unfindable.

    I trie to understand how i can figure out wich id i have to use and what item but its undoable, so it would be fine if learn how i can read such a file. So if there is a good tut.

    Actually, you should not be editing any files. That’s going to create a HUGE mess for you down the road – as those edits will get overwritten when you update your theme. All you need to do is COPY the piece of CSS that you want to change – copy it to a child theme style.css file (see your other thread where I posted a link about child themes) or you can use a custom CSS option (if your theme has it) or plugin.

    And then make the change to the piece of CSS you copied.

    Sometimes the above doesn’t work straightforwardly for one reason or another – in which case, Firebug should help you figure out why – often you may need to increase the specificity of the CSS selectors in the piece you are changing.

    yes i understand that part, i do it also that way, but normally u can find the line in the normal css to find out where the css is is copy that code in you childstheme and voila its done, but in this theme i cant find that files where it should be in :S

    I’m afraid you’ll need to talk to the developer of your theme – as it’s a commercial theme and we don’t have access to or support those here, sorry.
