Changing Text Color on Tumblr Mobile: A Guide That Doesn’t Require a PhD
So you’ve decided to give your Tumblr blog a fresh new look, huh? Well, buckle up, because if you want to change the text color on the Tumblr mobile app, the journey is a lot more…complicated than it needs to be. But fear not, dear friend, I’m here to take that weight off your color-changing shoulders!
Finding Your Way Around the App
First things first, are you more of a mobile editing wizard or a desktop design diva? If you’re twiddling your thumbs on the mobile app while editing, let’s just say you’re not going to find a magic wand for text colors here. Tumblr’s mobile app lacks direct options to change text color. Sadly, your cellular device does not have the power of CSS.
If you’re serious about jazzing up your textual content, you need to switch to a desktop or laptop. On desktop, the possibilities are endless, and your blog can go from drab to fab in a few clicks!
Bring on the CSS
Now, let’s talk about that sweet, sweet CSS. If you’re using a custom layout, you’ll want to dive right into the code. Locate the section of your HTML that includes the {Description} tag. That’s your battleground. You’ll want to find the associated class tag and modify it accordingly. If you’re feeling more adventurous, here’s a snippet you can use:
<style> .example p { color: #ff5733; /* Your dazzling color here */ padding-top: 5px; } </style>
And if the wonders of <style> tags excite you, here’s how you can change the color using inline styles:
<p style=”color: #ff5733;”>Your stylish text here</p>
Want to throw a span in there? You go right ahead!
<span style=”color: #ff5733;”>Fun text here!</span>
What If All Else Fails?
So you’ve tried all the tricks in the book and your text still looks like a pixelated pile of meh? It might just be that you’re limited to the overall palette of your tumblr theme. You can change your blog’s background to black with white text on desktop, and voilà, you have yourself a little monochrome masterpiece that might not be as versatile as you’d like but it’s something, right?
Oh wait! If you really want to take your mobile game to another level, apply the dark mode setting! It’s like wearing sunglasses at a rave, yes, it makes things look cool, but it doesn’t change your text color per se—it just makes the background darker and allows your text to remain dappled in grey and white vibes.
In summary, if you seek major changes to your text color and you’re on mobile, you might have to rethink your strategy and fire up that old desktop. For any further questions, guidance, or a virtual cup of coffee while figuring this out, feel free to live connect with us!
