Bonjour!

I’m able to style the pagination buttons a little bit with this:

.pagination span.current {
border-radius: 5px;
}

.pagination a.inactive {
border-radius: 5px;
}

And if I want to I can even customize the color like so:

.pagination span.current {
background-color: blue;
border-radius: 5px;
}

Or the color of the text like so:
.pagination span.current {
color: blue;
border-radius: 5px;
}

But if I want to give the button a more complex color, like this:

.pagination span.current {
background-color: #eedddd;
border-radius: 5px;
}

The color is processed/filtered somehow, perhaps with opacity, and I can’t figure out how to clear that. Also I’m guessing that the inactive-button image is based on the current-button color. Basically I’m just over my head and I have no idea what I’m doing. ; )

Can someone please help me to customize the color(s) of the pagination buttons?

Hi,

Try making your CSS more specific, for example by adding body in front of the rules that don’t apply.

Hi Zed — Sorry, just to close the loop on this one, I visited that page several times and I just couldn’t follow it. Then I returned some bare-bones troubleshooting and realized that everything I posted above is working just fine. That color I used, #eedddd, looks “processed/filtered” just because that’s the way this color looks. I tried with many other colors and everything works as expected. So, others may be able to use the code above to customize their pagination buttons as they see fit.

Ok I’m psyched. Just sharing the css I’m going to go with:

.pagination span.current {
border-radius: 5px;
font-family: Littlebit-Dotty2;
color: black;
background-color: #eedddd;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
font-size: 1.5em;
line-height: 1.8em;
height: 1.9em;
width: 1.9em;
}

.pagination a.inactive {
border-radius: 5px;
font-family: Littlebit-Dotty2;
color: #0d85cc;
background-color: #e1e5e4;
font-size: 1.5em;
line-height: 1.8em;
height: 1.9em;
width: 1.9em;
}

.pagination a.inactive:hover {
border-radius: 5px;
font-family: Littlebit-Dotty2;
color: black;
background-color: #ec9929;
font-size: 1.5em;
line-height: 1.8em;
height: 1.9em;
width: 1.9em;
}

A few notes:

The first block is the current active page, the second targets the inactive pages, and the third is the hover state. line-height, height, and width are only necessary if you want to tweak the font-size; if you tweak the font-size without setting these other parameters, the box size will change as well.

Thanks again for a great theme!
