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: )

Any idea what I should do?
