How to inheret site background color and font color

[patrickphillips]

I am generally having a hard time with inheritance in pro. One specific issue is that at daeze.com - the second section “about” wont inherit the theme’s black background color (section is set to transparent but it is showing up with a white background). The font also is not inheriting the gray global body font and heading font colors.

Related question: which is considered more global or at a higher level of inheritance? The theme options area or the area accessed by clicking the gear in cornerstone? How do these relate to each other?

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for writing in, please add this to Theme Options > CSS to resolve the body background-color issue

.site, .x-site {
	background-color: transparent;
}

Regarding the Text and Headline color, they are actually inheriting the color set from Theme Options > Typography > Body Font Color and Headings Font Color. Your Headings Font Color is set to be white.

Theme Options is site-wide settings and Cornerstone Settings (cog icon) is for that specific page only. I am not entirely certain what do you mean by higher level of inheritance though. Please clarify.

Cheers!

@friech - if theme options is site wide and Cornerstone is page specific why do Typekit ids have to be globally specified in Cornerstone settings, then pulled into font manager in the same screen, then the font type (ie body copy, headings) has to be selected in theme options?

Hello @patrickphillips,

Sorry for the confusion. @Friech is referring to the Page Settings. The Fonts and Color Manager is a global. This managers were designed to be accessible while editing in Cornerstone for more convenience.

Hope this helps.
