    Dear @Toby

    I recommend to do a sketch in JS FIDDLE.

    Make there a dic with the data attribute like in Laytheme.

    Then you can also share your progress with us and I can have a look.

    Is that good?

    All the best!

      Thanks Marius

      I've visited JSFIDDLE and pasted in my code shall I email you the link?

      Cheers

        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!

        Marius

          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

          Cheers

            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!

            Marius

              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

                    Thanks

                      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.

                      All the best!

                      	  }
                          
                        }
                        
                      );
                      
                      });
                      </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

                        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

                                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("blue");
                                        }
                                    });
                                    
                                    jQuery(document).on("mouseleave", ".thumb", function(event) {

                                    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"

                                    This often solves issues you might run into

                                    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
