CSS Files

I'm using 2 Customizable CSS styling files in this theme.

The style.css is for the main styling, also Many browser interpret the default behavior of html elements differently. By using a general reset CSS file, we can work round this. This file also contains some general styling, such as anchor tag colors, font-sizes, etc. Keep in mind, that these values might be overridden somewhere else in the file.

dark.css for the dark skins color.

The main style.css file contains all of the specific styling for the page. The file is separated into sections using:

/*==============================================================================
    CONTENTS:
    
    1. CSS RESET.
    2. HEADER STYLE:
        2.1. Top bar.
        2.2. Main menu.
        2.3. Top Search.
        2.4. Top Cart.
        2.5. Header Styles.
    3. THEME ELEMENTS.
    	3.1. Social Icons
    	3.2. Sliding Bar
    4. PAGE TITLES.
    5. PAGE SPECIFIC STYLES:
        5.1. widgets.
		5.3. Maintenance Mode.

    6. FOOTER.
    7. TYPOGRAPHY.
    8. BOXED MODE.
    9. RESPONSIVE STYLES.
============================================================================= */

Ex: If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited.

.top-bar {
	border-bottom: 1px #eee solid;
	background: #f4f4f4;
	text-transform: uppercase;
