Hello,

On the Birdie Responsive Theme, how do I change the nav bar's hover over background color? I can't find it in the css. I find the nav bar hover, but I don't understand the code for the background color change as I don't see it. Obviously, I'm not understanding this correctly because I use css all the time Please help.

Thanks!

Hiya Josephine,

Firstly we'd need to know what program you're asking about the theme for since there are different versions of themes for different programs and some with the same name due to theme matching to make site elements the same theme. :)

Since it's responsive and has a nav bar and css it has to be the HTML editor.
Josephine it should be in the css. I don't have that theme. Can you publish the page and post a link?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I think this is it:
nav ul li a:hover {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
text-decoration: none;

Thanks to everyone who responded. I appreciate all the help. And a special thanks to paintbrush! I get the rgba thing now. I was not familiar with it and couldn't figure it out. Since you pointed it out, I did research and now understand it and how I can change it to what I need.

Again, thanks to everyone for responding.

That's another reason why I love the CoffeeCup Website Color Schemer, it gives you all the different ways a color can be used be it Hex for basic web design or RGB for all the great new CSS3 features :)
