I've figured out how to change header images, backgrounds and these types of things as its just a matter of replacing files and copying the dimensions, however, changing colors of sub-backgrounds and forum backgrounds and colors is VERY confusing. Is there a tutorial on this? Any tips?

-Thanx again!

The colors are in the themes style.css. Some also have a forums.css file. You will also find $bgcolor variables in the theme.php.

// END: Added in v2.40.00 - Mantis Issue 0001043

$bgcolor1 = '#4B288E';
$bgcolor2 = '#4B288E';
$bgcolor3 = '#4B288E';
$bgcolor4 = '#4B288E';
$textcolor1 = '#CCCCCC';
$textcolor2 = '#CCCCCC';

function themeheader() {


I was messing around with theme.php and tried changing background color from 330303 to what you see above to see if it would work...but no luck...I tried each one individually then all 1-4 at the same time & changing the fields doesn't do anything.

Is there a trick to this?

The colors are set for some modules using the bgcolors, the style.css contains the other colors for the theme. Some images will also have to be changed. There is not one magic line to change. You will have to play around with the css and images to get the results you want.

If you want it semi transparent, try this:

[code]
#themecontainer{
background: rgb(24,16, 63) transparent;
background: rgba(24,16, 63, 0.5);
}
[code]

The first is for IE, the second one should cover all other browsers.

Thanx for the help everything is coming along but I cant seem to find the fields that effect the color of the top menu background ( the background that is behind your selections..i did change the hover image though ). Also the back ground forums where you are typing a submission.

I ctrl F with the color codes to find the red color im looking to change but had no luck with those two zones. I'm thinking most of the forums are tied into the regular theme. BTW I'm editing CT_RN

hmm is the index file in the images the one for menu background? I'll goof with it and see what happens...the forums are darker so must be something else

If you are using Firefox, install the developer plugin - you can used the web developer tool bar then to show you which CSS attributes a particular part of the web page is using when you click on it.
