      Hi @Toby

      add this to your CUSTOM HEAD CONTENT:

      <script>
      window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
      
      jQuery(document).on("hover", ".thumb", 
        function(event) {
        
        	jQuery("body").removeClass("red");
          jQuery("body").removeClass("blue");
          
          var category = jQuery(this).attr("data-catid");
          
          if (category == 1) {
            jQuery("body").addClass("red");
      	  }
          
          if (category == 2) {
         		jQuery("body").addClass("blue");
      	  }
          
        }
        
      );
      
      });
      </script>
      

      and this to your custom CSS:

      .red {
        background: red !important;
      }
      
      .blue {
        background: blue !important;
      }
      

      I have two projects with two different categories.
      If you inspect the thumbnails they are called 1 and 2:

      0_1522429869369_Bildschirmfoto 2018-03-30 um 19.10.52.png

      I placed the images as project thumbnails:
      0_1522429906502_Bildschirmfoto 2018-03-30 um 19.11.26.png

      You will probably need to adjust the code.
      But this is the base and you can go on from there.

      Good luck!

        Hi Marius

        Thanks for the code.

        I've added this code to my CSS

        .red {
        background: #f1f1f1 !important;
        }
        .red:hover {
        background-color: #ff1900 !important;
        }

        Which works but only when the pointer leaves the actual window and not when it leaves the thumbnails

        Any ideas?

        I'd also like this to only effect the overview page - I did a search on the forum and found this code

        if(obj.slug == "frontpage”){

        changing “frontpage to match my slug and applied it like they said to your example but it didn’t work.

        Cheers
        Toby

          Hi Toby,

          can you post the whole code you wrote?

          Also I remember that you used mouseenter and mouseout, right?

          That was the way to go.

          Best!

            Hi Marius

            I began by adding the above code

            CSS

            .red {
            background: #f1f1f1 !important;
            }
            .red:hover {
            background-color: #ff1900 !important;
            }
            .blue {
            background: #f1f1f1 !important;
            }
            .blue:hover {
            background-color: #ff1900 !important;
            }

            JQUERY

            <script>
            window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){

            jQuery(document).on("hover", ".thumb",
            function(event) {

            jQuery("body").removeClass("red");
            jQuery("body").removeClass("blue");
            jQuery("body").removeClass("yellow");
            
            var category = jQuery(this).attr("data-catid");
            
            if (category == 6) {
              jQuery("body").addClass("red");
              }
            
            if (category == 3) {
            	jQuery("body").addClass("blue");
              }
            if (category == 5) {
            	jQuery("body").addClass("yellow");
              }
            

            }

            );

            });
            </script>

            as I said above this worked all be it the hover off only worked once the mouse had left the window not the thumbnail

            I did attempt an example with mouseenter and mouseout in JSFIDDLE -

            https://jsfiddle.net/Toby05/3yjw0dpk/15/#&togetherjs=9ISpwkHzla

            HTML

            <div class="box" data-catid="1">data-catid=1</div>

            CSS

            .box

            JQUERY

            $(document).ready(function(){
            $(".box").mouseenter(function(){
            $(this).css("background-color", "#ff1900");
            });
            $(".box").mouseleave(function(){
            $(this).css("background-color", "#f1f1f1");
            });
            });

            but have been unsuccessful in applying more than one colour / category and adding to lay theme.

            Cheers
            Toby

              Hi Marius

              I've managed to get some jquery working on JSFIDDLE but when I transferred the code into Layhtheme
              it doesn't work

              https://jsfiddle.net/Toby05/va6a10g1/45/#&togetherjs=VIBsap8NEF

              and here's the code i'm pasting into CUSTOM HEAD CONTENT:

              <script>
              window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
              jquery(document).on ("mouseover", ".thumb",
              function() {
              var category = $(this).attr("data-catid");
              if (category == 1)
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(251,25,0)");
              }).on("mouseout", function() {
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(241,241,241)");
              }).on("mouseover", function() {
              var category = $(this).attr("data-catid");
              if (category == 2)
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(24, 176, 247)");
              }).on("mouseout", function() {
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(241,241,241)");
              }).on("mouseover", function() {
              var category = $(this).attr("data-catid");
              if (category == 3)
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(255,222,0)");
              }).on("mouseout", function() {
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(241,241,241)");
              }).on ("mouseover",function() {
              var category = $(this).attr("data-catid");
              if (category == 4)
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(115,195,19)");
              }).on("mouseout", function() {
              jquery(this).css('background', "rgb(241,241,241)");
              });
              </script>

              Thanks

                Hi @Toby

                as far as I understood – you wanted that the background is changing to a specific color when you hover a category, right?

                This is not happening in your example.

                Are we talking about the same thing?

                All the best!

                  Hi Marius

                  Yes that's what I want - unfortunately my attempts have been unsuccessful - can you help resolve this?

                  The previous post I'd attached the wrong JSFIDDLE - Here is my latest attempt

                  https://jsfiddle.net/Toby05/va6a10g1/67/#&togetherjs=y4rLV5GyyC

                    window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
                    
                    jQuery(document).on("hover", ".thumb",

                      	jQuery("body").removeClass("red");
                        jQuery("body").removeClass("blue");
                        
                        var category = jQuery(this).attr("data-catid");
                        
                        if (category == 1) {
                          jQuery("body").addClass("red");
                    	  }
                        
                        if (category == 2) {
                       		jQuery("body").addClass("blue");
                    	  }
                        
                      }
                      
                    );

                    </script>
                    

                    and this to your custom CSS:

                    .red {
                      background: red !important;
                    }
                    
                    .blue {
                      background: blue !important;
                    }
                    

                    I have two projects with two different categories.
                    If you inspect the thumbnails they are called 1 and 2:

                    0_1522429869369_Bildschirmfoto 2018-03-30 um 19.10.52.png

                    I placed the images as project thumbnails:
                    0_1522429906502_Bildschirmfoto 2018-03-30 um 19.11.26.png

                    You will probably need to adjust the code.
                    But this is the base and you can go on from there.

                    Good luck!

                    Dear @Toby

                    this is the way to go:

                    The code you just posted is already a step backward.

                    Please try this code and let me know where the problem is.

                      As I explained last week when I add the above code there is no mouse leave effect when the mouse leaves the thumbnail to revert back to the original colour (#f1f1f1)

                      So I added this code to CSS - example for the red hover

                      .red {
                      background: #f1f1f1 !important;
                      }
                      .red:hover {
                      background-color: #ff1900 !important;
                      }

                      Which nearly works, however the mouse leave doesn't revert back to #f1f1f1 until the mouse / pointer leaves the window - I'd like it to happen when the mouse leaves the thumbnail.

                      Any ideas
                      Cheers
                      Toby

                        Dear Toby,

                        may I ask you to post the code in the this formatto this thread. And also make it as readable as possible for me. Breaks etc.
                        Otherwise I need to do a surgery which costs a lot of time.

                        Thank you

                        Marius

                            Hi Marius

                            Ok so far my code appears like this -

                            CUSTOM HEAD CONTENT:

                            <script>
                            window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
                            
                            jQuery(document).on("hover", ".thumb",
                            function(event) {
                            
                            jQuery("body").removeClass("red");
                            jQuery("body").removeClass("blue");
                            
                            var category = jQuery(this).attr("data-catid");
                            
                            if (category == 1) {
                              jQuery("body").addClass("red");
                              }
                            
                            if (category == 2) {
                            	jQuery("body").addClass("blue");
                              }
                            }
                            
                            );
                            
                            });
                            </script>
                            

                            and CSS

                            .red {
                            background: #f1f1f1!important;
                            }
                            .red:hover {
                            background-color: #ff1900  !important;
                            }
                            
                            .blue {
                            background: #f1f1f1 !important;
                            }
                            
                            .blue:hover {
                            background-color: #0280f8 !important;
                            }
                            

                            but the hover only works when the mouse leaves the window not when leaving the thumbnail

                            Chers
                            Toby

                              Dear @Toby

                              this works:

                              .red {
                                  background: red !important;
                              }
                              
                              .blue {
                                  background: blue !important;
                              }
                              
                              <script>
                              window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
                                  
                                  jQuery(document).on("mouseenter", ".thumb", function(event) {
                                  
                                      var category = jQuery(this).attr("data-catid");
                                  
                                      if (category == 1) {
                                          jQuery("body").addClass("red");
                                      }

                                  	    jQuery("body").addClass("blue");
                                      }
                                  });
                                  
                                  jQuery(document).on("mouseleave", ".thumb", function(event) {
                                      jQuery("body").removeClass("red");
                                      jQuery("body").removeClass("blue");
                                  });
                              
                              });
                              </script>
                              

                              All the best!

                                  I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

                                  Before you post:
                                  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
                                  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
                                  3. Disable all Plugins
                                  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

                                  When you post:
                                  1. Post a link to where the problem is
                                  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
                                  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
