Support Thread - Responsive Color Changes for 155

[gunni]

http://challengemehq.com is where I am building my test site.
http://creationcassel.com/store is the current live site that I would try to "somewhat" copy (I am not going for fine details yet, at all, just get a feel for it)

@ http://challengemehq.com
@ stylesheet_colors_split.css:
around line 166:
#logowraper - change the color to red in the code and see the top part where the logo is going red (background).

Thanks! Now, I know I am working on the correct file.
Now to figure out all those other names of elements.

Now, if I change to something with a hex code, like #496e9c, it does not change. Does it have to have certain "code" to take on a hex?

Something must be wrong at another level. I am editing the file directly on the server (through my cPanel), and saving after making a change. But then, when I refresh my page, I don't see the change. Then I reverted the color to blue, but I still don't see it. I wonder if my cache is blocking it, as I can see the change on another computer. Hum... So the stylesheet change works... just not the ovbious way I was looking at it! Thank you very much. You kind of helped me solve one problem.

When chaging CSS files you need to make a hard refresh to the browser...
If working with Chrome, press Shift + F5
Regarding the Hex code, looks OK as you wrote it above (#496e9c) .

Oooooooooh! THAT might explain why I was not seeing anything. I never knew of this shortcut! Mystery solved!!! I can keep on going!

THANK YOU!

Hi,

I'm curious why this mod uses *both* rgb and hex?

It wouldn't bother me, accept that the last value of rgba is opacity. And I discovered that the default css included in the mod (stylesheet_colors_split.css) has many instances where hex is given along with rgba, but the rgba specifies something other than "1".

For instance, on line #23:
a.list-more {background-color:#6699cc;background-color:rgba(102,153,204,0.6);}

Perhaps other css is applying an opacity to that hex, so the rgba is matching it?

But this presents the very real possibility of accidentally using two totally different colors.

It's my understanding that there may be some advantage to rgba over hex for animations, but other than that rgba vs hex comes down to personal preference. I happen to prefer hex, but would happily switch to rgba on a case by case basis.

Is there some specific reason for calling both that I'm missing here? Like maybe some popular browser refuses to process hex?

I'm early on in my template and considering killing all rgba references that have a hex specified. If unexpected results crop up, I can deal with them as they come.

Can you see any reason I shouldn't do that?

Thanks!
