Dear Niphlod, Thanks for the response. I DID get something going by FireBugging my page. Here is what I came up with:
<style> /* // original from book SUCKS body { background: url('images/background.png') repeat-x #3A3A3A; } a { color: #349C01; } .header h1 { color: #349C01; } .header h2 { color: white; font-style: italic; font-size: 14px;} .statusbar { background: #333333; border-bottom: 5px #349C01 solid; } .statusbar a { color: white; } .footer { border-top: 5px #349C01 solid; } // /original from book SUCKS */ // joe1 // WAS match [.header h1; .statusbar; .footer; ] = #XXXXXX == darkred = #880000 // WAS match [.header h1; .statusbar; .footer; ] = #XXXXXX =! darkred = #AA0000 // WAS #AA0000 = #BB0000 [too light for white links in menu ] // NOW #BB0000 = #AA0000 body { background: url('images/background.png') repeat-x #3A3A3A; } a { color: #349C01; } //.navbar {background: #AA0000; } .navbar-inverse .navbar-inner {background: #AA0000; } /* http://127.0.0.1:8000/songfest/static/css/bootstrap.min.css */ .navbar-inverse .nav > li > a{ color: #FFFFFF; /*color: #333333;*/ } div.flash { background-color: #AA0000; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(90deg, #AA0000, #AA0000); } .page-header h1 { color: #AA0000; } //.header h1 { color: #AA0000; } .header h2 { color: white; font-style: italic; font-size: 14px;} .statusbar { background: #AA0000; border-bottom: 5px #349C01 solid; } .statusbar a { color: white; } .footer { border-top: 5px #AA0000 solid; } // /joe1 </style> The navbar is red & the links in the menu start out white. It could still use a little work on the menu hover. Thanks again for the response, Niphlod.
