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!

Re: Changing the color of the horizontal lines

You are talking about the 5-pixel green line, right? That is border-bottom in ```
.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.
