Can you colour just the twitter bird and f for facebook icon in social media icons in top bar and footer?

[core365]

Hi, I’d like to change the colour of just the twitter bird and f for facebook icon in social media icons in top bar and footer and to have a white circle behind it. If you take a look at what I’ve done, I’d like the magenta square to be black and just the twitter bird and ‘f’ to be in magenta if possible please! I can’t figure out the CSS to do it!

I’ll put the URL in a secure note as it’s on a temp link.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us. To change the color of social icons, try adding the following code in the Theme Options > CSS:

.x-icon-facebook-square, .x-icon-twitter-square {
    color: #000 !important;
}
.x-social-global a:hover.twitter {
    background-color: #fff;
}
.x-social-global a:hover.facebook {
    background-color: #fff;
}

You can’t change the color of just f as it’s a icon and that f part is a hollow shape in the square, you can only change the color of complete square and the background color.

Sometimes it can get a bit difficult to find out the right selector to be able to write the required CSS codes. A handy tool that can help you in this is Google Chrome dev tools. I am sharing the resource that you can refer to get started with dev tools.
