Color below and above sideboxes - Custom Template

[AirsoftOutfitter]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the Peach Color that is around the search bar, and shows up on the side boxes underneith? Also if you refresh the page, you can see a large turquoise color under the "Who's Online" side box and I want to get this coloration taken off from all sideboxes. A link to the site is below.

First if you are not designing in FireFox - - get it and also the web developers extention and ardvark or firebug
There will allow you to determine the css tag you are seeking to change

Check your stylesheet for the following and alter the color to suit

#navColumnOne {
	background-color: #FFCC99;
	}

Thank you for that response. I changed the color code you mentioned, but nothing changed. The "peach" color still shows above my category side box when I have the search file side box enabled, and the "peach" color still shows up under the "sponsors" sidebox. Additionally, the turqoise shows below the last side box on the right side... any other suggestions?

First thing I would recommend is, since you haven't done much yet to the site, copy the stylesheet.css file from includes/templates/classic/css to your template's css folder, overwriting the one you have. You used the stylesheet from the template_default folder, which is where those colors are coming from.

IOf you did not see a chenge - - you are not editing the correct stylesheet

I got it fixed. I renamed the standard stylesheet to "stylesheetXX" and for some reason the site was still pulling some info from this stylesheet. I renamed it altogether and it fixed my issue. Thank you for helping out.

I have fixed my issue, but this is the first recommendation that I have heard regarding using a different style sheet. Is there a benefit to using the classic style sheet?

Only that, since Zencart installs with the Classic template enabled, when people create their custom template and use the Classic template files, they start out where they were, appearance-wise. As you found out, if you copy the template_default template files to your custom template it looks a lot different, and some people think they've done something wrong.

Other than that, there's no reason to choose one over the other as a starting point.
