jeffwest Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The default font color for my website is a medium gray, but I'd like to change it to black. Is there a way for me to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Capper001 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Anyone find a solution to this? It would be nice to be able to color code the Text for Events/Games/Practices/etc. that show up on Calendars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Michael Blair Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Jeff - these forums seem pretty dead when it comes to replies. In the unlikely event you have not figured it out yet, you can change your default color scheme via the Theme Settings under Website Settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jeffwest Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 I've been in the Theme Settings, and it seems like I can change the look of everything EXCEPT for the font... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Michael Blair Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Go to Website Settings > Theme Settings > Brand Color. The primary color is the header font, the secondary color is the text font. Unfortunately, SE is not "smart enough" to remember the secondary color when entering text in most page elements. I find it maddening and have made multiple enhancement requests to the dev team. My work around is to remember to change the text font myself to match the secondary theme color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jeffwest Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 The Theme Brand Colors shows two colors - the primary is a dark green, which is the header font. The secondary color is a dark blue, which I don't see anywhere on the site. The text font always shows up as a medium gray and I have to change it to black whenever I'm updating anything.

0 Michael Blair Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I have to do the same - change the font to #DDDDD (which is our secondary color) for any text that I'm adding to page elements. The secondary color *should* show in your menus, drop downs., etc. I'd submit a help ticket to SE and cross your fingers. Maybe they can point to a hidden setting somewhere that will change the default text box color. If so, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rob Bedeaux Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hi Jeff and Coach Mike, Question for you. Which specific elements are you trying to color? While there isn't a way to do them en masse via a setting, CSS is always available. If you've got some specific elements, I can give you a hand with what the CSS should look like. thanks -rob 1 Rob Bedeaux (he/him/his)Director, Partnerships & Symphony MarketingE rob.bedeaux@nbcuni.comNBC SPORTS NEXT & FANDANGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Michael Blair Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 My understanding is Jeff, like me, would like to change the default text color for text block elements. I use our secondary color for text fonts and have to change with each text element. I'm using some html in some areas of the website, but no CSS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jeffwest Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yes, specifically the default text in text blocks. My default text shows up as a medium gray, which is a bit too light for everyday reading. It's not my primary or secondary color. I change it as needed, but it would be nice to have a default of black. I'd love to get a better understanding of how to implement CSS styling throughout the website.

0 Rob Bedeaux Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 OK. Got it. You can use this CSS code snippet. <style> .site-body { color: red; } </style> You can use a specific color name or you can enter a hex code. If you want it to apply across the entire site, you need to enter it on the top-level page of each top-level navigation in your menu in the section called "Cascading <HEAD> Code:" It will then cascade down to each page below that in the tree. 1 Rob Bedeaux (he/him/his)Director, Partnerships & Symphony MarketingE rob.bedeaux@nbcuni.comNBC SPORTS NEXT & FANDANGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Michael Blair Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks Rob! I use CSS to control our sites background color. It did not occur to me to use it to control the default text color as well. This will make things much quicker when creating new text or editing existing. I already tested it, works like a charm.

0 jeffwest Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Brilliant! This is exactly what I needed. (It will also give me the impetus to try other things now that I know what the code should look like!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
