   Greetings

   I am trying to change the header, category and side bar header colors from the muted green to the purple color I used for the wrap.

   I have searched this forum and cannot find the right fix, so I am asking for help. If this has been posted before please accept my apology.

   I am using the following:

   Word Press - 2.9.2
   Theme - Studio Press Lifestyle
   Website - htp://www.ellieblair.com

   Any help is greatly appreciated.

   Thanks

   Tom

   the fix for all things formatting - colors, backgrounds, fonts, etc - is in style.css of your theme:
   (this involves learning the basics of css)

   this is for the header:
   

   #topnavbar {
   	background: #93BBBC url(images/topnav.png);
   	width: 960px;
   	height: 30px;
   	color: #FFFFFF;
   	margin: 0px;
   	padding: 0px;
   	}

   for sidebar:
   

   #sidebar h4 {
   	background: #86AFB0 url(images/headline.png);
   	color: #FFFFFF;
   	font-size: 11px;
   	font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
   	font-weight: bold;
   	text-transform: uppercase;
   	margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
   	padding: 3px 0px 3px 7px;
   	}

   for categories:
   

   #content h3 {
   	background: #86AFB0 url(images/headline.png);
   	color: #FFFFFF;
   	font-size: 11px;
   	font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
   	font-weight: bold;
   	text-transform: uppercase;
   	margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
   	padding: 3px 0px 3px 7px;
   	}

   these also have background images which you may need to edit.
   (in the /images folder of the theme)

   if you are planning to do more theme tweaking, get familiar with the free tools:

   web developer add-on for firefox
   or
   firebug

   both great tools for editing/debugging css and html
