Thanks for the quick reply. I think that is all I need for now.

Hi there,

There are two things happening here...

1. The core theme accent color is stored in the WordPress database and is accessible via PHP like this...

$accentColor = get_theme_mod( 'themolitor_customizer_accent');

2. The "background" shortcode color isn't stored in a database, but is grabbed via jQuery (custom.js) when you click the slider arrows and applied to the following items...

var bgColorVar = jQuery('body, a.buttons.true, #mainLoadingContainer, .skills, #footerWrapper, #navigationWrapper, #galleryNav a.activeNav, .pagination a.activePaginate, body.respond .pagination a.activePaginate, #commentform input[type="submit"],input[type="submit"], #headerWrapper').not('.headPostinate a'),
    aLink = jQuery('a, i.indicator, span.pageLink, span.menuLink,.nextPrevPaginate').not('#footerWrapper a, #headerWrapper a, #navigationWrapper a, a.buttons, .slideArrows, span.pageLink a, span.menuLink a');

Items in the "bgColorVar" var get the color applied as a background and items in the "aLink" var get the color as a text color.

Best,

Chris

the set background color isn't just some variable that I can call? How does the theme store the value for the background color exactly?

Hi there,

Can you provide a link to your site? I'll look into this.

Best,

The MISC theme provides a "background" shortcode where you can set the background color and image for the main page. Is there some way to call/use the established background color for something else like a table heading?

I would like my table background to change with the main menu color.
