Header & Footer Bar Color

[russellmcox]

With some expert help from this forum, I've been able to change the color of all my header boxes. Now I need to change the color of the Header & Footer Bar color to match.

Any help is appreciated.

In the spirit of 'teach a man to fish", I'm going to suggest that you install the Firefox browser and the Web Devloper plugin. Then open your site in Firefox, and CTRL-SHIFT-Y will allow you to hover over the area you're interested in, and you'll see the applicable CSS in the box at the top. CTRL-SHIFT-E will open the CSS editor, where you can make test changes that will be reflected immediately in your page. A very handy tool.

Also, the Colorzilla plugin for Firefox will allow you to put your mouse pointer on an area and see what color it's using. I use both these tools constantly.

The sidebox 'footers' are borders. Search the stylesheet for 'border' until, you find the ones you're looking for.

Hey... I'm always open to suggested tools.
I installed both of these (and upgraded FF to 3.5.1) and immediately saw the css element. Made the changes and everything worked.

Many thanx for educating me.

Hi, I have a similar problem, except that I am trying to change the colour of the bottom border of the sideboxes (which in the classic template, is a green border at the bottom of every sidebox).

I have installed the Firefox web developer plug-in as suggested in your post. It's a great tool which helped with other CSS issues I have, but still cannot pin point where to change that green border.

Any thoughts?

thanks,
Ed

I didn't see your Colorzilla suggestion earlier. Now that I've installed it, it helped solve my problem. Thanks!
