extreme beginner trying to make a minor modification

[molluscsandmonsters]

I have no background in CSS, and I've forgotten most of what I used to know about HTML. I used to be pretty good at googling + searching for specific terms to customize tumblr themes, but it's been a while.

I like the Abstractia base a lot (I'm messing with Abstractia Abyss right now, I know my adjustments look a little goofy, let me be ridiculous in peace) but there's one thing I don't like and can't seem to modify, which is the subheader that lists which page you're on (not to be confused with the subheader that is controlled by the subheader option in the title section of the wizard). What I really want is to get rid of it entirely since the navigation sidebar module is perfectly adequate for seeing what page you're on at a glance, but failing that I'd like to at least be able to change the font.

It doesn't look like it's possible to access/edit the raw code, which makes sense if you want to put some basic safety limits on what people can mess with or make sure they don't alter the style credit. (Though the raw code is viewable and downloadable, so... maybe the idea is that if you want to substantially modify something, you can take that, modify it, and upload your own version?) The text seems to be linked to whatever text you have for the navigation module, as deleting the text in the navigation module also deletes the subheader, but then of course the navigation module doesn't work for navigation anymore. I can't find anything else in the wizard that affects it at all, nor can I work out what command I might add to the layer to stop it from displaying.

Here is the Abstractia source code.


This is the layer generated by my messing around with the customization wizard:
## Important note: Hand-edited changes to this layer have a high risk of
## being erased the next time you use the wizard. Setting properties is
## usually safe, but if you put entire functions, they *will* be overwritten.

layerinfo "type" = "user";
layerinfo "name" = "Auto-generated Customizations";
set color_page_background = "#075051";
set color_page_border = "#0eae8e";
set color_page_link = "#044e67";
set color_page_link_visited = "#033c4f";
set color_page_title = "#00000c";
set comment_date_format = "med";
set control_strip_bgcolor = "#012a21";
set control_strip_bordercolor = "#01021c";
set control_strip_fgcolor = "#c7e4fd";
set custom_control_strip_colors = "on_gradient";
set entry_poster_alignment = "none";
set entry_poster_position = "footer";
set font_comment_title = "Chilanka";
set font_entry_title = "Chilanka";
set font_fallback = "monospace";
set font_journal_title = "MathJax_Fraktur";
set font_module_heading = "Chilanka";
set image_background_content_header_position = "top center";
set image_background_header_position = "center center";
set image_background_header_repeat = "repeat";
set image_background_page_position = "bottom left";
set image_background_page_url = "https://images.hdqwalls.com/wallpapers/dark-sea-waves-4k-0e.jpg";
set layout_type = "two-columns-left";
set module_calendar_order = 0;
set module_calendar_show = false;
set module_cuttagcontrols_show = false;
set module_pagesummary_order = 3;
set module_search_order = 4;
set module_syndicate_order = 15;
set text_module_popular_tags = "Some Tags";
set text_module_syndicate = "";
set userpics_position = "none";



Any idea what I should do?

Yeah, for really substantial changes to page structure, you'd have to copy out the base layer and make a new one, but thankfully it's possible to do what you want with just CSS!

Add this to the Custom CSS box in the wizard and save it:
#pagetitle { display: none; }

Or if you want to keep it but change the font:
#pagetitle { font-family: 'Font Name';}

Thank you so much! I thought for something that minor there had to be an easier way. And there was!

CSS is basically magic at this point, heh.
