Color tip for widgets

Hi, with the introduction of Newspaper 6.1,

in the “Theme colors”->”GENERAL theme colors”->”THEME ACCENT COLOR” you can select a generic accent color. While red for example looks good for general use like highlighting the current page, I still prefered the black for widgets as it was in version 6.0. However there is no color option for default widget titles.

If you liked the dark background on the widgets but want some different color on your THEME ACCENT COLOR option, add the following code to your custom CSS.

aside.widget > div > span{
background-color: #333333 !Important;
}
aside.widget > .block-title{
border-color: #333333 !Important;
}

This applies to third party widgets. For tagdiv widgets you can customize the color of the title from the widget directly.

Is this something that we’ll be able to select a default for in the theme panel in the future? Modifying works as a quick solution, but becomes troublesome to keep up with when applying regular theme updates. Thanks for the info.

This has nothing to do with theme updates. You apply this to your theme panel on the Custom CSS section. No matter how many updates you do this remains the same and intact.

If this CSS isn’t applied, where is the default set from within the themes panel? Do all widget headers get the assigned accent color by default?

Yes… widgets get accent color value unless you bypass this with css
