Thanks, that pointed me in the right direction. I added/changed this in
variables.less
@wiki-header-bg: rgba(0, 134, 47, 0.9);
@wiki-nav-bg: rgba(126, 184, 67, 0.9);
and in Template.Nav.less the following, because I needed the navigation box
to have a specific color, instead of being derived from the @wiki-header-bg:
.header > .navigation {
background-color:@wiki-nav-bg;
I'm still not entirely clear about LESS, but it's sufficiently close to CSS
to make simple changes comfortably.
