Re: how do I change the color of my template

The green is an image tile_back.gif open a copy of this in your graphic editor and change it to what ever you want.

When you say background color this can be interpreted in different ways: All are in the stylesheet.css file; If the color surrounding the standard template then this is:

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

If the centered area color this is:

#mainWrapper {
	background-color: #ffffff;
	text-align: left;
	width: 750px;
	vertical-align: top;
	border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
	}

Re: how do I change the color of my template

To edit images, you need a program like Photoshop or PaintShopPro.

You can change the colors by editing the stylesheet as kobra indicted.

Download the Firefox browser (it's free) and get the webdeveloper addon for it. It'll allow you to play with the stylesheet and see the result immediately.
