Hi Bernard,
Hopefully you got some sleep. There is quite a time difference between members so there can be delays in replies.

The post you mentioned above changing the banner and background should work, but I think you’re not placing the custom CSS in the right spot.

Looking at your screen shots it looks as if you are using the web inspector to apply changes.

I would guess you are right clicking in preview and selecting “inspect element”. This opens up the Safari web developer tool that allows you to make and test changes on the fly. Anytime you do anything that refreshes the page removes your changes. That’s normal behavior for that tool.

Changes to any CSS, HTML or JavaScript need to be applied to the RapidWeaver project. There are two places to apply them, one for site wide changes, and the other for page changes.
I can’t show screen shots right now, I’m not at my Mac, but will be back in a few hours if someone else hasn’t helped you by then.

Yes Doug, you perfectly described what I was doing and with your comment it’s obvious I’m confused about the right tool to use…

Looking forward to read about the two places in RW so I can sleep a little bit more tonight :slight_smile:

You use the browser dev tools to help you figure out What the CSS should be. BUT you put the actual CSS code Here:

If it’s just for one page.
-or-
Here for the entire site:

As Scott pointed out you need to place the CSS code within the project.

At the page level, you would select code window in the page inspector, select CSS and add your CSS style:

Page Level

For site-wide changes, under the source list (pages are listed), settings and code:

Site-wide

Then select CSS and apply your code:

By the way that code snippet should change the all upper case in navigation back to how you name the page for the split theme:

.main-nav a {
	text-transform: none;
}

If you don’t know how to do something in CSS than create a post here and someone will help you. It always helps the person helping if you can provide a URL to a published page.

Bottom line we are all trying to tell you is that everything needs to be done in RW and nothing will happen from the browser.
Hope you finally got that aha moment? :grinning:
