Donate
While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...

Hi guys. Total CSS inept person here. I've got a book that tells me things. Yaaay… and despite my handicap I've been able to manage http://www.akashikonline.com, http://www.theheavenlybride.com, and http://www.10confessions.com
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case with the theme on WordPress here. I've went through the edit area over and over again… and there's just nothing there for me TO edit as far as personalizing the boring whiteness of it all. I tried finding the css and nothing. Just plain nothing.
Like I said: I know next to nothing about css… and unfortunately I've had this theme for only a few hours so at this stage I can't vouch for it good or ill just yet… so my point is: can someone please point me to where I need to go? Because this is beyond frustrating.
I'd show you the site, but I'm embarrassed to do so. And besides, it's got no personal changes on it whatsoever. Because it won't let me.
Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you are referring to the stripShow Sandbox theme as the theme you are using? Or are you referring to the Sandbox child theme?
The child theme doesn't have any real CSS in it because that is the way child themes work in wordpress. A child theme just inherits all the CSS from it's parent theme by default. But, if you want to change things, you can simply add in items in the child theme and it will "overwrite" what the parent theme has. Basically, the child theme takes precedence over the parent theme, so any additions you make to the child are what is going to show up on your site.
If you aren't sure of how to use a child theme, it is fairly simple. You just need to upload the main stripshow_sandbox theme into your theme folder, and then upload the stripshow_child theme to your theme folder. Then make changes to the stripshow_child use the stripshow_child theme, and edit it however you want and things will show up.
Does that help at all?

Some… and thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I did try to overwrite in the way that I do the other sites but it only took away the formatting and wouldn't give me any background colors at all. Or it would work for a minute and then go away.

Sorry, it looks like I was a bit off on how to do things. The wiki link about theming probably explains it better than me:
http://stripshow.wikia.com/wik….._stripShow
Basically, all those include lines in the child theme style.css file, the ones that look like this:
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/layout.css');<br />
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/typography.css');<br />
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/icons.css');<br />
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/superfish.css');<br />
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/widgets.css');<br />
@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/colors.css');
are where the info is coming from. In order to change colors, etc, try removing the line that imports the colors.css (in fact, you could remove them all and basically start from scratch with the child theme, but that may be more than you are looking to do.) And then add the CSS code into your child theme style.css file. To figure out where else to change things, look through each of those .css files found in the stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/ folder to see what each one does.
