More Coloring issues with a newbie.

ok, I've searched in the forums (blindly since I don't know what I'm looking for) and was unable to find an existing topic on my problem. I'm sure there has already been a post as I can't be the first person to want to change this.

But .. here is my questions.

I'm setting up a shopping cart for my company, I currently have it on a test server that i own and is located here.

http://allhoursitsolutions.com/zen/

I'd like to modify the colors of the bars at the top and where all the categories are.

IE: home at the top, categories/new products on the site, and the home bar at the bottom.

Currently these all display as green and I need to change the colors of these to match the company colors.. Any insight on how to locate these colors would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Re: More Coloring issues with a newbie.

You should create your own template - but using classic contempoary green - these green items are an image that you can create another in a color you prefer as a gif.

Name it tile_back.gif and replace the one that is at /includes/templates/classic/images

Re: More Coloring issues with a newbie.

If you are using Firefox, the Web Developer and Firebug add ons are indispensable for finding what things are, where they are, and other great things.

I made my gifs here: http://highpowergraphics.com/bannerbuilder/
You need to find the original gif and find the name, and size. Then build your image using that site. NOTE: You will need to put some text in one of the text boxes to get it to work...just use the same color as your background so it won't show, and it wont do any blending of colors.
Don't forget to size it the same as the original, and save it as a gif. Save it to your computer, and upload it to your server.

The green bars look to be ```
url(../images/tile_back.gif) and is 11x30

So that tells me to make a gif 11x30 named tile_back.gif in whatever color you want.

Good luck.
