    Default Changing the color of the horizontal lines

    Hi...

    I would like to know how the color of the horizontal lines running along the bottoms of each of the boxes may be changed.

    I know how to change the top horizontal component of each box (that appears as a a color-fade in default), but the solid-colored line at the bottom is stumping me.

    Thank you!

    Default Re: Changing the color of the horizontal lines

    You are talking about the 5-pixel green line, right? That is border-bottom in
    Code:
    .leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
    	margin: 0em;
    	border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    	border-bottom: 5px solid #336633;
    	margin-top: 1.5em;
    	}
    I see too many sites where the rest of the colors have been changed and that is left to clash with the design.

    OK...I found it....but when I make changes, nothing happens.

    If I REMOVE the stylesheet.CSS file altogether the page still displays the same! Shouldn't the page NOT appear the same without the CSS file in place?!

    PS - I tried editing the stylesheet.CSS files in both Classic and Default. nothing happens. If I remove BOTH, the site still dispays the same way.

    (I have 'Classic' set as template, editing it and saving all default files renamed so I have a clean copy of each)

    "saving all default files renamed"

    I bet that's your problem. Pretty much any file in the /css/ folder with a .css extension will be applied to your site, and if it is applied after your real stylesheet it will override it. If you need to save a copy of the original stylesheet, name it stylesheet.bak or something.
