When I was previewing Mimbo Pro before purchasing it, the preview had a different colored bar for each category heading in the Category Summaries section. But since purchasing Mimbo Pro, the colored bars have all been the same color (a medium blue) and I haven't been able to figure out how to change the colors. Could you please instruct me on how to do this? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is perspectivecriticism.com.
The general colour change can be done here: Appearance > Themes > Customize > Colours.
As for the different colours on the category sections, I have seen that but it doesn't show up that way on my blog either.
Better wait for Ben, he might be a better help.
Hi there - as said by Sam, the colours can be changed very easily in the theme admin.
And the "different colored bar for each category heading in the Category Summaries section"?
Ah - sorry, I missed that.
The different coloured headers are what we used to do before the custom colour editing was introduced. There are a few reasons for this.
Firstly it would be hard to do, secondly we felt the custom colour option was more beneficial than the 3 different colours. Thirdly, there had been a number of complaints about the colour choices we had made and so we thought being able to select the colour would solve this.
If you want to have the 3 different colours again then you can do so with the custom css upgrade. We didn't remove the css classes so they can still be used to tweak the colour schemes.
I still do want the 3 different colors, and I do have the css upgrade. Could you please let me know how I would go about doing it (along with how to access the codes for the various colors available)? Thanks!
Ok - so to change the colours you will need to target the different headers. Doing this is quite easy

binarymoon.whitebox h3.catcolor1 {
background:#f00;
color:#fff;
}
.whitebox h3.catcolor2 {
background:#00f;
color:#fff;
}
.whitebox h3.catcolor3 {
background:#090;
color:#fff;
}These colours will be quite bright so you will want to select your own. I would use something like this to generate the hex colour codes: http://www.colorpicker.com/
I tried this code, but it didn't work. I showed the problem to my wife (she is a lot better at these types of things than I am) and after doing some digging around on net, she suggested putting .whitebox in front of the h3, and it worked!
Ah - great. Glad you got it working and sorry for not adding that in my reply.
