Rebecca,
You can change the color of the hover on the featured images. Just paste this into the Custom CSS box:
.boxcaption {
background-color: #213ecc;
}
Just use the color code you’d like to and that should take care of it for you. It’s set to be 80% opaque, but you can change that if you need to. To do that use this instead:
.boxcaption {
background-color: #213ecc;
opacity: .8;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80);
-MS-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";
}
and change the .8 and the 80’s to the % opaque you’d like to make it.
I don’t know why I didn’t add the option to upload a custom icon sooner. You can use a email icon if you’d like to. For the link just write it like:
mailto:name@email.com
and that should make the icon a link to an email address.
If you run into any trouble, let me know,
Bill
