Open the SP theme editor and load up the overlay you are using and change whatever you want. Most of the names are pretty clear.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)

I use winter-blue and I change editor file winter-blue.php it’s right file?

MP Mr Papa

winter blue would be the overlay…  but its part of a theme…  so I assume you are editing the overlay in the theme you are using…

but the header can have three background types:  solid, gradient or image… did you change one or all…  and I would need to look at which one is used in winter blue…

browser cache?  link?

your currently selected overlay is sky blue…  you said you were editing wintery blue…

so you either need to edit the correct overlay or change the overlay…

which button? buttons are also in the overlay file… change how you want…

if unsure which element to change, look in the main theme file and find which one is used…
