Use the FIREBUG and DEVELOPER TOOLKIT add-ons to Firefox browser to help you find relevant style classes and ID's within the template.

You can also perform off-line edits to CSS using these tools, allowing you to see what changes will apply when you edit CSS components.

Re: Search box edit and colour change. ??

Hi Thanks for your help, I am using dreamweaver to up load edit ect Css But All I can find in the template is that if you change one title bar in the list you change all of them, Is there a way to edit just one at a time?

Regards CRAIG

In many cases, the standard zencart stylesheet "groups together" ranges of classes and ID's. They then all share the specified styles.

You may have to "un-group" them, and re-apply specific styles to specific classes and ID's.

EG:

#manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #ffffff;
}

REMOVE #searchHeading from the above and then put it back in BELOW the above line - by itself...

#manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, #recordcompaniesHeading, #search-headerHeading {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #ffffff;
}

#searchHeading {
font-size: 1.2em; (MAKES IT BIGGER)
color: #ffffff;
}
