Firefox with the web developers tools add on will tell you exactly where the code is that you want to change ~ or a search of this forum will lead to an answer.

I have limited space on my computer for more programs with dialup
and i have been searching for some answers
thanks for your sugestions but how about a real answer.

Customising a Zen Cart can involve making hundreds, even thousands of small changes. That's not as intimidating as it might sound, as once you get into the groove, many of them are similar.

CharmedByTina is pointing you towards a tool that you will need to be able to do this effectively. An alternative would be Firefox with the Firebug add-in.

You may not like these answers and want it all laid out on a plate, but they are offered by other users with the best of intentions - to help get you up and running.

The more specific answer to your question is the same as the other than you posted - most facets of the look and feel of your site are controlled in stylesheet, not the PHP files - they determine the content.

thanks to those who gave input
but us simpleton's like a simple answer so .....

Here's a few of what will change what on the stylesheet
#1
Start by by changing "color:#ff0000" (red)
in:
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #000000;
}
This will control the color of the text
in the header text(your store name) & the main body of text
on the main page.
also on catagory titles in whatever catagory page, it also
changes the product title on its page.
the catagory tabs on the main(index)page are unaffected
by this hack.
#2
In this hack by changing the "font-size:70%;" in:
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e5edf5;
}
It will up the point size in all the main body text on all pages.
so us old people can read it.

Since we're talking about hacks how about changing the
SIDEBOX headings in english.php
EXAMPLE:
// information box text in sideboxes/more_information.php - were TUTORIAL_

define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', 'Scooter Tuning Info');

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2', 'Learn about performance parts');

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3', 'UTube Scooter Mods');

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4', 'Links');

Also if you use a html/php/css editor the syntax and things are in
different colors so its easier to see what is really going on
a good freebee is alleycode

Don't forget to save your changes in your custom template folders.

I'am a new guy with zen Cart, The only thing that I am unhappy with is the font colors on my logon page, and I don't know how to change them. I don't know how to get into CCS I don't know how to get into my so called favorite TEXT EDITOR. all I want to do is change my font colors. I need a step by step help.
by the way, I downloaded the entire zen cart book. It might as well been written in greek. when I got to CCS it say it is assumed that you are already know CCS/MAGIC It never good to assume to such things. anyway can anyone out there help me with this?

1) Download Zen Cart (link at top of page) and unzip it on your local drive. You don't have to be able to run it, but you'll be able to see the folder/file structure and do your editing.

2) Get a good text editor like Crimson Editor or Notepad++

3) Edit the necessary files. Don't forget to follow the template/override structure (see the tutorials/FAQ for more info).

4) Use an FTP client like Filezilla to upload your changes to your website.

Everything I mentioned above is available as a free download on the net.
