Customizing classic green bits

[wolf99]

Basically, I need to change all the green parts of the template to red. have combed forums for this info but so far have only managed to change the wrapper to red, this means that the area you see that is blue/grey in header areas, before the green images load., so I'm still ending up with green over my red wrapper.

see thumbnail. Ta

okay, used tile_back gif to change the head bar for boxes but box footer bar is still green, what can I do to change this? also how do I change all the background to black and all text(axcept box headings) to white?

sorry am total newbie to CSS

Change the color here for your box footer:

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
margin: 0em;
border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
border-bottom: 5px solid #336633;
margin-top: 1.5em;

Cheers tshooters, that worked a treat!

do you know how I can change the main background colours
(there seems to be 2, 1 for the page and 1 for the main table)

Also how can I get rid of all those links under the header image and make my header image use that space as well as its current space?

realise I may be reitterating questions that have been answered before, if you know where, could ye point me in the right direction? ta folks

You'd change those colors in your stylesheet here:

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e5edf5;
}

If you're talking about the Cat Nav Tab bar, that can be turned off
in Admin/Configuration/Layout Settings/Categories-Tabs MENU ON/OFF

Got a url for your page?

tshooters , you get more brill by the min!

I'm thinking maybe of putting an image in for each of these bg's instead, is this possible? can I tile the images fo r main page bg and main wrapper seperatly?

Each wrapper or other div can have its own background image, positioned and tiled in any number of ways. They will be placed one over another as they load, so the last one will be on top of the stack. Judicious use of partial background images allows all sorts of effects.

[wolf99]

cool, do oyou know what CSS code I need to do this?

[gjh42]

#someId
{
  background-image: url(../images/yourimage.gif); //use relative file path
  background-position: top left; //(top/center/bottom left/center/right) or (x-% y-%) or (x-pos y-pos)
  background-repeat: repeat-x; //or repeat or repeat-y or no-repeat
  background-attachment: scroll; //or fixed
} 

Look at w3schools.com for comprehensive tutorials on this and other subjects, and interactive demos to get a feel for using the declarations.

Cheers Glenn.

One more for ye, I have been folowing the "Top 10 Question" steps in the Wiki but the changes I make to includes/languages/english/ have not been showing.

I have been able to remove the zencart logo but the sales message and congratulations! messages will not budge even though I have commented and deleted what needs to be deleted in header and index files.

Any ideas? Ta

Agian I may I know I may be asking a llot of dumb questions but I am becoming increasingly lost in the complexity of the system. All I wanted was a shop!!
