Ok thanks, that got me there. Cheers-

Ok thanks for everything Andrew, check’s in the mail.

Cheers,

Wow that took care of it. Thanks so much! Just curious if I ever put code in the Custom CSS Manager that causes something to go horribly wrong, how would I “undo”?

Many thanks and also much thanks to x500.net for the assistance.

Found it. Do I just paste the code you gave me in there and click Save Changes?

Andrew-
I downloaded, installed and activated the Custom CSS Manager plugin but don’t see what’s next. Can you describe to me where to ad that code you sent earlier?

x500.net-
I found #branding and pasted your code into there, updated but no change. The Edit Themes doesn’t show line numbers so I don’t know if I found the correct #branding.

Andrew-
I’ll look for the Child Theme but haven’t found it yet. Sounds right for me!

I don’t see any of that in the dashboard, but I do have a section in the Appearance section called “Editor” where I can edit different code stuff. But I’m not really a code guy so not too familiar.

Cool, I found it in the style.css in the Edit Themes area. I just changed the font weight to 400 and it’s much better.

Many thanks.

Ah that’s probably it. Hmm, well I’ll have to find a similar theme that’s more current. Many thanks.

My post title indicates the theme. It’s LightWord theme. The link is mtmstudios.com/blog.

Thx.

Bartender, bring me another Pina Colada.

But I do appreciate the help Josh. I can’t believe someone hasn’t asked for this years ago. Every program I use has the option to change/darken the screen color. I have to take breaks so I don’t get a tan just writing a blog. But thanks man.

I’m such a child at this that I don’t even know what a child theme is. I just wear my sunglasses while I type blog posts. I look cool doing it, but wish I could just have a dark grey background instead of 255 bright blinding white.

Monitor brightness is at 0. I’m useless at code, I just wanted to see if WordPress folks had a setting for background color of the Admin area. Put it on the menu for 3.5.1!

Ok, found it- I have the grey radio button selected, but it only seems to affect the general theme, such as the sidebar trim, etc. The main area is still white. So bright in a dark room.

Hi Josh,

I’m trying to locate my user profile, I’m looking in the Dashboard now, is that the right area?
