Editing MySite - Top header will not change color

Question

Why is it I cannot change the color of it? It is the breadcrumb correct? Where it contains the Site name: Home and the Welcome NAME.

I have changed it in SharePoint Designer but the color does not transfer over to the site ;/

Answer 1

Hi,

The site name and the welcome link are not in the breadcrumb. The breadcrumb is only the little breadcrumb part listing the sites path from the root to where you are at the moment.
You are probably trying to change the wrong object.

The welcome link is in the following control in the master page:
<td valign="middle" class="ms-globallinks">
<wssuc:Welcome id="IdWelcome" runat="server" EnableViewState="false"></wssuc:Welcome>
</td>

And the site title is:
<h1 class="ms-sitetitle">
     <SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="~site/" id="onetidProjectPropertyTitle">
    <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" />
     </SharePoint:SPLinkButton>
</h1>

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I tried both of the above....

Neither updated the color.

Color is currently set to the obsidian theme so the color is #666666;

I have about deleted all references of this color in an effort to find the control point ;(

Still nothing.

Answer 3

It is the very top area that will not change.... this is aggravating. It is the part that goes across the top where the Welcome and help thing is left to right.... I just want to change the color to white #FFFFFF.

Answer 4

It ended up being:

ms-globalbreadcrumb
ms-globalleft
ms-globalright

within my css theme file.....

had to take a break and came back and seriously I looked at it and it was like 'ahhhhhhh' a bright light came in the window!

Thanks for helping btw!
