Customizing classic template - changing color theme

[afo]

Don't wait for 2.0. It'll be a while before it's ready to be used on live sites. The beta hasn't even been released.

To answer your question, look for this in your stylesheet:

#bannerboxHeading {
	background-color: #0000CC;
}

and change it to

#bannerboxHeading {
	background-color: #525252;
}

Thanks, it was the missing tag.

Or, if you don't want the bannerBoxHeading to be treated differently from all the other sidebox headings, you can just delete that whole rule and it will follow the same general rules as all the other sideboxes. That makes it simpler to adjust the sidebox colors again if you want to.

You're right, it would even streamline the stylesheet.

You might also want to consider getting one of the free templates and using it as your starting point. You can see them "in action" at http://(sorry, site offline)/

[FONT=&quot][FONT=Arial]Nice selection, "Mostly Grey" complements my blog website closely. It is important customers "feel like home". Now I need to change some fonts and colors to stay within the CI. Thanks so much for helping me get started quickly![/FONT]

When I saw what you were trying to do, I thought several of the free templates might work for you and save you some time. It'll also help you learn about creating custom templates without having to start from the beginning.
