Aha! After a bit of trial and error and various CSS tries, I got it to work … I was putting this in my style.css:
```
.apply-link {
	color:#B01F66 !important;
	font-weight:bold !important;
	font-size:22px !important;
}
```
Then calling that class for the one custom menu link item. As I said, it picked up the big and bold, but not the color. Why? Because the CSS for class ht-colophon a was over-riding the menu list css. After much trial and error, as I said, it was really a simple fix – I changed my CSS to:
```
.apply-link a{
	color:#B01F66 !important;
	font-weight:bold !important;
	font-size:22px !important;
}
```
BINGO! It works! I don’t know if I need the !important declaration – but it works and the site is now live at so I’m not messing with it anymore!!
The solution may be obvious to some, but it wasn’t for me, so I wanted to share. All the CSS is in a child theme – I don’t edit the original theme files at all. That way if I completely mangle a file, I can just grab the original file and start over, and updates don’t mess me up!!

I’ve been playing with the homepage layout as well, and there’s a file called home-template.php in the templates folder – when I edit that one, my changes show up. Working with front-page.php doesn’t seem to do anything.

It’s possible, and it will help if you are familiar with creating a child theme and editing html and php.
The BEST way to remove the header bar entirely is to create a child theme, and within that child theme, copy the file page.php. Open that file in a text editor, and remove the following code:
```
<header class="ht-main-header">
	<div class="ht-container">
		<?php the_title( '<h1 class="ht-main-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>
		<?php do_action( 'total_breadcrumbs' ); ?>
	</div>
</header>
```
Save the file.
An alternate way is to remove the code (or comment it out) in the theme files directly. ANy changes you make to these files will be lost when the theme is updated though. Creating a child theme with Total as the parent is a better way.
