    • I think if something is done with passion, it shines through. At least the effort will, if not anything else! The problem occurs when it doesn't even come out. And by coming out, I mean it...

    • Fair point - when you are learning, of course you can't be exceptional all the time. However, I think it is very important to realize you are learning and to evaluate your work critically...

Change colors in the K2 theme

Started by Shripriya · 8 months ago

I wanted to play around with the colors of my Wordpress K2 theme (the presentation layout that you currently see). Stuff that should be easy - the header colors, the background of the overall page (currently grayish), the white body background, the color of the text, the links etc.%0 ... Continue reading »

  • After spending more than a year on k2 - I finally moved to find some themes that allowed heavy-duty tweaking, and for some reason got more support from the wordpress community. Trouble is though that shifting themes requires a lot of attention and time.. but if you have the heart to do it - there are far more flexible themes available..
  • Hi Neha - what did you end up going with? and to shift themes - does it break everything? i.e. how painful is it? :)
  • I picked up a lovely template from here. It wasn't too painful actually - compared to the amount of pain it took to maintain k2 - given that a lot of plugins don't play well with k2. And once I shifted, it's been very low maintenance. Mostly because it's a light weight theme that can be tweaked very easily even by a css-ignorant person like me! :) It didn't break anything major... Maybe you should just take a backup of your existing k2 files, try a new template and play around with it for a few hours, and move back to the backedup k2 files if it all feels like too much! :)
  • Damn, K2 simply SUCKS ASS! I ain´t sorry for swearing, I tell the truth. You just can´t change the link color. Perhaps they used not a 6-digit color code, some time 3 digits work. And that sucks even more. You can´t search the CSS-files for the color-code, because you don´t know which one was used for this shitty blue :( fuck it, never gonna use this shit again.
  • You are absolutely right. I still do't understand why blog people have to deal with so much code, instead of using their time for writing interesting posts. Is anyone listening?
