most probably just like esmi said.. it used php functions and then transfered it into css.. well about normal.. “define normal” lol..
no, why? i can change it back in two seconds, all i’ve done is made a new option to choose from and called it #000000 in hope more than anything else
Try changing it back to the default scheme and I’ll see what (if any) secondary CSS file is being loaded.
are you saying there could be other files which determine the colours other than the ones I can access through the editor in the dashboard?
Possibly. When I create themes, I tend to place these more advanced scripts in a sub-folder within the theme’s folder. That way, someone who doesn’t know one end of a php script from another won’t break them but someone who knows how to download, amend and then upload a script using FTP can still amend it.
Looking at the site now, it’s using a secondary .css file called blue.css in the theme’s colorstyles sub-folder. If you amend that file, you should be able to start customising the colors to suit your needs. However, I would recommend that you make a backup copy of the file for safekeeping before you begin.
massive help, thanks a lot. i’ll do that now, let you know if it works
ah yes.. and i thought esmi was a psychic when saying about blue.css lol. i didn’t saw the site url.
working great so far! now just got to figure out what everything does.
thanks again:)
btw how can you guys do that – just have a nosy through the site?
something ive seen a few times on here
there’s inspect elements in chrome and firebug on firefox.. helps
ah… cool
im just testing the theme out just now – would that be handy or am i just as well looking through the files on FTP?
it’s handy to look which file the css code belongs to.. but to change it permanently u have to look the file on the server tho
kl, reckon ill have a look

I use Firefox & Firebug. Definitely a combination worth using if you intend to carry out any CSS changes. Being able to locate the CSS rule that is governing a particular element or block (and even try some changes on the fly) can cut customisation time in half.
