Hello,

I visited your showcase and I saw something very insteresting on http://themedium.ca/

Can you help me to do like that :

-Menu color line : My website use category with different colors, and I would like when I go on my menu an hover with the same color of the category, as the medium, but I don’t know how do.

-Custom template posts. I think here : http://themedium.ca/news/utsu-executive-resigns-personal-reasons/ they use Template 4, and as the medium i would like have my image in background with an hover transparent.

Can you help me with that? some tips ^^,

Thank you and sorry for my english.

Hello,

1) What you see on themedium’s hover color is not the category color. it;s the block hover color that can be changed from the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/X9vZVNAt

2) Yes, the site in question uses style 4 for posts and a css customization to make the post background transparent. This is a similar code:
.td-post-header-holder.td-image-gradient .td-post-title {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7) !important;
padding-left: 10px !important;
padding-bottom: 10px !important;
}

3) The excerpt color can only be changed with css. Use this code:

.td-excerpt{
color:red!important;
}

Thank you!

Hello,

Wow, great support, I am happy to have bought this theme ! I am ok with post background transparent, this is so cool! the excerpt to, but do not understand for the menu, with my bad english it’s difficult to be understood and to make understand sometimes.

Actually I know for the Block hover, and my categories have differents color (thank for that), but I don’t found how I can do something else, use the same color of my categories for the menu hover. I have my theme color on blue so all my menu is blue like that :
menu

And my category Culture is Red as you can see here :
my category

But on the site The Medium, you can see the hover and the line behind the menu change with the color of block; i would like the same, and as I know its the same theme Newspaper I think i can do the same but i don’t know how.

hover - line different color

Thank again !

Hello,
Unfortunately you cannot make the menu the same color as the categories automatically. There is no such detect added. The menu does not ‘know’ by default what color you add to your categories. Please provide a link to your site and I will provide the code to change the hover colors on the menu.
Thank you!

Hi,

This is the code you need to alter the menu hover underlines:
.sf-menu > .menu-item-66 .current-menu-item > a:after, .sf-menu > .menu-item-66 .current-menu-ancestor > a:after, .sf-menu > .menu-item-66 .current-category-ancestor > a:after, .sf-menu > .menu-item-66:hover > a:after, .sf-menu > .menu-item-66 .sfHover > a:after, .menu-item-66.sfHover a:after, .sf-menu>.menu-item-66.current-menu-item>a:after, sf-menu>.menu-item-66.current-category-ancestor>a:after {
background-color: red !important;

This whole bunch is for a single menu item. I added the culture menu item to be highjlighted in red. Now for the rest you will have to duplicate the code for each menu item and change the menu number in the code for each of your menu items. You can use the browser inspector to see the menu item number for each menu item.
