Hi there I would like to use category colors to improve navigation and structure.
I have set category colors for pretty much all main categories and their color appears correctly when I use style 3 for the categories.
However on blocks they are not used currently. For example for widgets I used block 7 and 18. Also on the category page itself the top grid does NOT color the mouse over correctly. Instead it shows the template highlight. Somehow on the frontpage blocks the colors are interactive. For example the block with How To has red effects on mouse over and hyperlinks.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
The category function for modules was not designed like the function used on posts and it will not take the color for category that you set in Theme Panel > Categories > each category. You will need custom modifications for this and unfortunately we cannot provide custom work at this time. The primary category on modules has a specific css and a background color, so you can change it, but you will have the same color on all blocks/modules – http://screencast.com/t/mYcL44DMPO If you want to do this you can change it using this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
.td-post-category {
background-color: #192399;
}
Regarding the hover color, it will have the theme accent color that you set in Theme Panel > Theme Colors(by default is blue) – http://screencast.com/t/76FAYGPfnqy2 – http://screencast.com/t/yqrVj7PolZ58 Or if you set a background color for block title(like on your homepage) it will take the same color on hover – http://screencast.com/t/6gEY6V4yGa
Thanks!
Hello Alin.
Thanks for your reply. So if I understand correctly the color feature was only partially implemented. After all, the colors are dynamicly displayed on style 3 of the category overview. I am interested to know if there is any development planned in this area. I guess at some point I will take a look inside the php files to see how complicated you guys made it, but if you are already working on it there there is no point.
Hello,
The category color was implemented only for posts as a design choice. Unfortunately there is no plan to change the category tag colors for modules/blocks at the moment.
Thank you.
