We are going to rebrand our color scheme. The header will be green with a white header logo.
I am having trouble figuring out how to change the colors of the magnifying glass and the hamburger menu icon in the header. They are currently gray, which will look awful on top of a green header. The white icons will also match the new header logo.
I’ve looked in the theme menu and I see an option called header primary, which says in the description that it changes text and icons in the site’s header. However I’ve already set it to white and nothing has changed. Is there another way to change the color of these two icons?
The icons are a bit transparent, which might be throwing you off (that’s why they look grey instead of white when the header_primary color is set to white).
However, perhaps as we are now on one of the latest releases, now the home, search, and menu icons are greyed out. Can you explain how to make these icons white with opacity of 1? Did any of the selectors change?
Yes, these selectors are a little more specific now and we removed the opacity entirely in favor of using a solid color (there was a bug in Safari where SVG icons were clipped slightly because of the opacity).
You can remove anything you have related to opacity, and do this
I have a similar problem as the OP, probably somewhat simpler: For some reason the colour of the header icons got darker for no apparent reason (I assume it was related to the tidy-up measures on your side). Since my header is a darkish, I want the icons brighter.
I tried this
and am happy with the result. But I can’t seem to figure out how the hover settings work. With only the above css, my hover looks like this:
So the icon turns grey again, which is okay, but I’d like to try some other tints on it. The background seems to turn white (or almost white), which I would like to change to make it coherent with other menus.
I’m posting this in case someone runs into the same issue as me, but depending on the combination of colors you are using for your header and your icons (my header is a dark color), I was getting the right color combinations for my icons with the code you provided:
.d-header-icons .d-icon {
color: white !important;
}
.d-header-icons a:hover {
background-color: #789946 !important;
color: white !important;
}
However, whenever I clicked on the header icons and hovered out of them, the background reverted to a solid white color, which did not work as my header is dark and my icons are set to white. So on hovering out of them (after a click), they would show as a solid white rectangle). To fix this, all I had to do was also set the state for “a”, not just “a:hover” as in the above posts (#93bb54 being the same color as my header):
.d-header-icons .d-icon {
color: white !important;
}
.d-header-icons a:hover {
background-color: #789946 !important;
color: white !important;
}
.d-header-icons a {
background-color: #93bb54 !important;
color: white !important;
}
I added some custom icons in SVG, but I can’t change their color using CSS. They are always black. I can change the opacity, size … but never the color.
I tried using the above examples, but none returned the expected result.
I have the same situation as Sentinelrv. I adjusted the header_primary to white and also applied the recommended custom CSS to each of my themes but the magnifying glass and hamburger menu still remain grey
I too cannot change colors of hamburger/bar menu, search/find icon did change - have tired all aforementioned tips & more by inspecting stuff in web browser but (not being a webdev) I failed. Anybody has that figured out?
<header icons color>, <hamburger icons color>, <header icon hover color>, <hamburger icon hover color> = hex, color name or theme color variables. You can also specify background-color if you wish to change the icon background color.
Note: If you are using the hamburger drop down mode instead of sidebar, the first snippet for the right side header icons will also include the hamburger icon.
