    Default Changing colours on the cart

    Hi all,

    I know this is a very popular topic and there are many threads on it already......but I am still unable to solve this conundrum!

    I have been trying to change the default green background colours of the boxes (top and side) but just can't seem to get it working.

    I changed the values in /catalog/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css without any joy. I then made changes to the file in /catalog/includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet.css and that didn't make any difference either.

    I have been changing the following details

    .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading {
    margin: 0em;
    background-color: #3b2313;
    padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
    }

    and

    #navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
    margin: 0em;
    background-color: #3b2313;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #ffffff;
    height: 1%;
    width: 100%;
    }

    Where am i going wrong.....what am i missing.

    Hope someone can show me the light.

    Ta,
    DsyD

    The green headers in the Classic template are images. You can remove the red part below, then change the background color.

    .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
    margin: 0em;
    background-color: #abbbd3;
    background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
    padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
    }

    Hmmm........did that (commented out the image /*background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);*/) but still no joy.

    Could there be another stylesheet somewhere overriding this?

    Possible. How many stylesheets do you have ?

    A link to your site might let us spot something.

    Default Re: Changing top/side box colours on the cart

    Is there anyway of finding out where else the stylesheet.css file might exist? None one the changes I've made seem to work.

    Anyone?

    Look in the css folder of your current template - all the stylesheets affecting your site will be in there. I'm guessing you're editing the wrong stylesheet (template_default/css/stylesheet.css, for example).

    There are 5 .css files in this folder /catalog/includes/templates/classic/css:
    CSS_read_me.txt
    print_stylesheet.css
    stylesheet.css
    stylesheet_css_buttons.css
    stylesheet_orig.css

    My site is www.lyricforge.com/catalog

    You should be editing stylesheet.css in the classic/css folder, not template_default.

    You should also remove or rename the extension of stylesheet_orig.css to stylesheet.orig. Those two are fighting each other now.
