Hello – Ive tried 6-8 different themes and Ive finally selected Catch Box – it’s awesome!

Question: on the featured slider, is there a way to change the default background color of the slider area? Right now it is a dark grey. It would be great if I could set that to whatever background color I want.

Also, as a bonus, I am wondering if there is a way to disable the post ID and Description from appearing in the Slider?  I am using graphics in the slider and it would be cleaner if I could suppress showing that ID and Description.

THANKS for your awesome theme! Keep up the great stuff!

Sorry to be a pain – my question on changing background color on Featured Slider also applies to the Menu color too. Would love to be able to change Menu background color too.  Thanks!!

@Robo:

For the Featured slide background color. add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel. Change the color code as per your need.
#slider { background-color: #555; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; }

To remove the text in the slider add the following css
#slider-wrap .featured-text { display: none; }

For menu background Color add the following css in “Custom CSS” box. But for menu you need to add a lot of css for hover and active and all. So, I suggest you not to change it.
#branding #access { background: none #585858; }

Thanks so much!! I will try later on and post back if it does not work. I assume it will work – all your other tricks always work – thanks!

Hello Sakin,
I would like to do the same thing but in Catch Everest. I tried the code you listed above but it didn’t work. Is there different code for Everest.
Thanks for your help,
Sarah

Hello,
My featured post slider is set to fade. The background color when it fades is grey. How do I change it to black while it is transitioning so it is a cleaner transition. My website is http://www.makkoy.com

@real_makkoy: That is Fade effect with change all elements in slider. But you can try adding in solid background in slider background by adding the following css in “Appearance => Additional CSS”
#main-slider { background-color: #000; }
