    Hi there,

    I want to customize the colors for
    – NavBar Menu (also the dropdown menus)
    – NavHelper
    – Footer

    Which is/are the files for me to change these (which will not be affected when I upgrade the template in future)?

    My site is on localhost; please don’t ask me for site login. TQ!

    .t3-header {
    background: #10151c!important
    }

    To change nav helper bg color

    Looks like they should work… What I’m concerned about is the whole scheme i.e.
    CSS styles such as below shown in the firebug/browser inspector is quite confusing…

    .t3-megamenu .dropdown-header, .t3-megamenu .mega-nav .mega-group > .dropdown-header, .t3-megamenu .dropdown-menu .mega-nav .mega-group > .dropdown-header, .t3-megamenu .dropdown-menu .active .mega-nav .mega-group > .dropdown-header

    You can get the css with help inspect element/ fire bug
    and then override it via custom.css file as u can see example in my previous post .

    Thanz for the suggestion but that’s exactly what I’d mentioned in my earlier post regarding firebug/inspector.

    Anyway, I’d found the way to do it. Saved a new theme in the template manager/edit template style page… so that you have a brand new set of files to modify.

    Open the file at
    /root/templates/ja_university_t3/local/css/themes/yourthemename/template.css

    Search for ‘navbar’ and you get a long list of CSS to modify at will

    TIP: Turn off Development Mode so that the template CSS is loaded instead of LESS.

    There’s actually another way via LESS but that’s more complicated

    .navbar .navbar-header {
