meinterruptedWhen they did the newest code push, I kind of fell in love with the Lefty theme. It's clean and gorgeous, and I just adore it. But I also have a thing for gradiations and rainbows in layouts, so now I'm thinking. I know the code I need to do to make the changes, I just don't know where I need to put it and if I need to make a whole new style to do it.
Basically, what I need to do is create 5 or 6 new class ids for the LI that make up the top navigation (which are currently "module-list-item"--I was planning on going for the creatively named "module-list-item-2" etc.) and then change the background color on those classes. That would allow me to have a lovely rainbow or multiple shades of the same colors or whatnot.
So... do I need to make a whole new style/layer? I'm a premium paid account, so that itself isn't the issue. I used to be pretty fluent in S2, but it's been, uh, several years, and in between the code changes and my brain writing over that information with mostly useless trivia, I'm stuck.
ETA: ( Code for multiple colors under cut )
ETA2: Thanks tosyntheid and ninetydegrees, I have sort-of figured out the customs CSS for this layout. My next question is closely related. Is there a way to link the color of the page header background to the color of the current page's link? E.g. on "recent" it would be green, "archive" yellow, "reading" red, etc.?
