Layout colors

[arcanesanctuary]

Sorry is this is in the wrong spot but I'm not sure where to put this. Is it possible to change the layout color from green to anything else without adding a new template?

Cheers

You should make a "custom" template folder to hold any files you have edited, but that doesn't mean you have to touch template files or change the appearance of anything you're currently satisfied with.

Decide on a folder name for your own template, and copy all the contents of /includes/templates/classic/ and /includes/languages/classic/ into /includes/templates/your_template/ and /includes/languages/your_template/. Then follow the rest of the FAQ on making a custom template, which essentially will require editing template_info.php, selecting your template in admin and resetting the sideboxes.

To change the green color, there are two main things you will need to do.

Find tile_back.gif in /includes/templates/your_template/images/ and edit it in a graphics program to have the appearance you want.

Look in your stylesheet (/includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css) for
.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
and change the
border-bottom: 5px solid #xxxxxx; (whatever it actually reads)
to the color & thickness you want.

There might be something else you will want to change, too; if so, look around, and ask if you don't see an answer.
