Splendid theme! I’m using the vertical navigation bar, on the left of the content, and hoping to change its background color to something else than white. The transparent option is nice, but my first choice would be to just change the background from white to cream, for example, without changing the background color of the main content.

Also, am I blind, or is there not a search box for the forum? 🙂

Thanks!

Additional question: if I choose to go with the transparent background for navigation, how to ‘hide’ the line between navi and content, or the ‘edges’ around the navigation area? They show, even though the rest of the navi background is transparent. I’m mainly concerned about the long line on the right side of the navi (with left-aligned vertical navigation). Thanks again~!

Hey Bhakti,

Thanks for writing in, and for your kind words…we’ll be happy to help you out! Regarding the forum search: we were looking to have this addressed over the weekend; however, it came to our attention that a bug was causing the Visual Composer plugin to fail in v1.5.0 of X. We ultimately traced this problem back to the plugin itself, and were able to fix it by simply updating the plugin to the latest version. Unfortunately, this took time away from our ability to add in the search feature, but we wanted to make sure that we responded quickly so that everything would be in order with the Visual Composer integration. That being said, it is definitely at the top of our list of things to work on here in the member area. 🙂

You can easily alter the color of the navbar by entering the following snippet of CSS in the Custom section of the Customizer or in the style.css file of your child theme if you are using one (if you plan on doing lots of custom styling, we would strongly recommend the child theme over the Customizer as it is much easier to manage):

.x-navbar {
  background-color: #fafafa;
}

Simply update the color value to whatever you would like it to be. Depending on which side of the screen your navbar is, you’ll need to use one of the following options below to get rid of the border and box-shadow:

.x-navbar-fixed-left {
  border-right: 0;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
          box-shadow: none;
}

.x-navbar-fixed-right {
  border-left: 0;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
          box-shadow: none;
}

Let us know if you need anything else! 🙂

Thanks so much! Super quick and helpful response. Ok totally understand, makes sense, handle emergency first, search button later 😀 Thanks for the child theme suggestion – I might take that route if any more custom codes start piling up.
