    Default Changing Color in Template

    I'm new to Zen Cart. I've been trying to figure out how I change the color of brown on the classic template to blue. I know html so didn't know if there was a code that I need to look for to edit. Changed all the colors on the template except for the brown. Using 1.3.0.1. Also read that I should be using template_default instead of classic. The default template is not in the template section. Anyone know how I can correct that? Thank you in advance for any help you may give.

    Welcome to Zen Cart Nancy
    I think that brown thing is obtained using the image
    /images/tile_back.jpg

    Anyways, look in this file
    includes\templates\classic\css\stylesheet_original.css
    for leftboxheading etc

    TR.leftboxheading, TR.rightboxheading, TR.centerboxheading, TR.singleboxheading {
    background: #aaaad3;
    /*background: #abbbd3;*/
    /*background-image: url(../images/tile_back.jpg);*/
    }

    and try changing

    Let us know if it works
    I will take you more from there as to what to do

    Thank you for your help. The brown/orange was a jpg. Do you know how I can add my own jpg file between where it says Home and Categories? Wanting to add my site name in jpg format.

    For that you have to see this file
    includes\templates\classic\css\stylesheet_original.css

    TABLE.header {
    background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border-right: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    border-left: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    }

    Add your own header_bg.jpg

    And for logo:
    in the file
    includes\languages\english\header.php

    define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

    There is a better way of doing the same thing which I will mention in my next post

    I did the above already but it's doing a repeat. Tried to fix the repeat on jpg and didn't work. Looking forward to your next post for a better way. Thank you.

    Depending on the blue that you desire...there are 2 beginning templates that are blue in shade(actually 1 aqua and 1 blue) in the downloads template section that are "Classic" in looks, and the future Zen template that is blue but different than the classic look.
