I'm having problems with the Origin theme....

1) I can't change the text color in A:Hover and A:Active for the Menu Bar.
2) My background image won't load, and I've tried resetting it, and re-uploading it.

http://hastebin.com/yeduriwomu.sm <-- my css

Also, I Diff'd it with the original css. There's no syntax screwups.

.ow_main_menu li.active a, .ow_main_menu li a:hover {

color: #ff7000}

.ow_page_wrap {

background-image: url("http://iamtrue.net/ow_userfiles/themes/theme_image_7.jpg") !important}

I have made the change for the image, however the color has been changed, yet the site will not reflect it.

Did you apply the codes provided to http://iamtrue.net/admin/theme/css ?
Answer: nope, they wasn't input there..

Also it seems at this Css Input you have copied the entire base.css and inserted it there, no need, the Only thing your EDIT CSS input field is needed for is to apply custom codes.

So lets start fresh, remove all codes you have input at : http://iamtrue.net/admin/theme/css EDIT CSS input and copy and paste only as follows:


a, .ow_content a {
color:#66cccc}

body, html, .ow_page_container .ow_page {
color:#000066}

h1 {
color:#441144}

.ow_main_menu li a {
color:#000077}

.ow_txt_value {
color:#6600cc}

.ow_main_menu li.active a, .ow_main_menu li a:hover {
color: #ff7000}

.ow_page_wrap {
background-image: url("http://iamtrue.net/ow_userfiles/themes/theme_image_7.jpg") !important}

.ow_header_pic {
background-image:url("http://iamtrue.net/ow_userfiles/themes/theme_image_5.jpg")}

Well, I don't quite understand it, but it's working, now. Thank you.

Also, what I did was remove all code but the edits I made. Used DIFF and manually copied them out.

Unless your building your own theme per example for sale at the Candy Store here you really shouldn't edit the script Css files at cPanel, best reason for this is at next theme update you will lose all custom coding, always best practice to use the provided EDIT CSS input at your site's admin panel.

Just in case you hadn't realized, and this is really more of a heads-up thing you left your .body { background-color as blank, not that important really, just mentioning.

If interested I took liberty in reformatting/Optimizing your Css, see attachment if you like.

Umm, thanks. Not actually MY css that you changed. I changed the base CSS that came with the Theme "Origin". And I changed nothing but the colors, bg, and banner.

While you're getting notifications, could I ask you how I could change the icons? Like, on this very thread, there's an icon next to "POST REPLY". I either want to get rid of them without getting rid of the titles, or download them all, then change them to a specific color. If they're all part of a single file, like on Windows, that would be even easier, but I'm willing to go the extra mile.... or twenty xD

And thanks for the tip. I'll save the customizations, and Diff the versions to see how I need to edit my customizations.

Again, if you make changes at base.css you will lose all custom work at the next theme update, best to use EDIT CSS at your site admin, and those codes I attached is what you have input at: http://iamtrue.net/admin/theme/css

For icons you can change by uploading to your theme at cPanel as follows:

public_html/ow_themes/origin/images
AND
public_html/ow_static/themes/origin/images

It is said to upload only at: public_html/ow_themes/origin/images then clear your scripts cache, but I myself find it easier to upload at both paths then only clear my browsers cache. up to you really,,,

zip all images and upload to the above mentioned paths, select Reload to view that .zip file highlight the .zip then select Extract, again, this procedure will be executed at both of the above paths.

I have attached a few different colors of icon sets..

Thank you very much. I'll use SketchBook to add color to each of the Icons in the Grey Scale.

I have to reopen this issue. Recently, my icon set reverted to the original. I just attempted to change them back, but they were reset in minutes. Same happened after I tried again.

Yes this will happen any time you update a theme, see file attachments/Solution above and repeat this.
Khionu Pluffy
Khionu Pluffy Dec 18 '14
Right..... well, a theme was updated, but it was not THE theme. Also, it was after the update that it reverted. I tried fixing it twice.
Kяuncн Leader
Kяuncн Dec 18 '14
Which them are you using that the icons reverted back?
Khionu Pluffy
Khionu Pluffy Dec 18 '14
Origin. I tried uploading to ow_themes/ then ow_static/, but by the time I checked back in ow_themes/, it was already changed back. I verified a successful upload.

I figured it out..... the dates in the metadata are older than the updates.... I'm pretty sure that's it. I'll reply after I test a fix.

Kяuncн Dec 19 '14
Yes that is why as when you do a platform update it also updates the Origin theme along w/It.
No nothing to do w/The meta...
