Changing header background with CSS was created by krosser

Hi guys,

I know it's fairly simple but for some reason the background color is messed up when I try to edit it.

I want to change it to blue instead of grey by default.

When I add

Code:

.navbar-default {
    background-color:  #0080FF;
}

into custom.css, I get this pinkish color (see attached pic).

When I delete the CSS code, it stays the same.
I dunno, maybe I add the code in the wrong place. But I don't get it why it doesn't revert when I delete it...
Any ideas?

I'm using the latest LS 3.22 hosted on LS servers, not installed locally.

I've tried to do it in Fruity theme and that CSS code didn't have any effect. So, I guess it's either the wrong place to add it or it's the wrong one..

Actually, any CSS code I add to custom.css has no impact on the theme. It stays the same in the preview.

Well, now I have two answers to the question "Template?".

Did you extend a core theme? If so, which one?

If you're modifying the file directly into the source code you must turn on debug mode to turn off the asset manager. Else, the system is not using the file you're editing, but rather a copy of it in the tmp/ directory.

Theme is a template

We got it.

It was Vanilla that got this crazy color. But I've found out that my css code wasn't right for LimeSurvey.

It needs to be

.navbar.navbar-default instead of just .navbar-default

Hi guys,

Has anyone experienced this issue with adding your CSS code to custom.css?
I added a CSS code to change colours of navbar and hyperlinks. At first, it worked (with overriding), but then it just switched back to default colours and even extra overriding doesn't help...

For example, I have had blue navbar and white hyperlinks, highlighted in orange. I'm using Vanilla theme.
The codes:

Code:

.navbar .navbar .navbar-default {
    background-color: #008dc9;
}
 
.navbar .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a {
    color: #ffffff;
}
 
.navbar .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: #D86422;
}

Today it's switched back to grey and doesn't change...

LimeSurvey version 3.6.2

Alright, but I actually use the LS Theme Editor. I haven't used anything else, since I didn't install LS on external servers.
And I've just tried to clear assets cache now, but it didn't work for applying the CSS code to extended Vanilla theme, in my case.

What can be the reason?

you can use the name of your extended theme to raise the specificity of your css selector:

.extended_vanilla .navbar .navbar .navbar-default ...

So, the name of my extended Vanilla theme is extends_vanilla_01.
When I've added it, it didn't make a difference. I've also cleared cache just to make sure.
