Can I change base colors of a template?

[Anne]

:hmm: Does anyone know if there is a way to change the base colors (background colors--blue and black) in the Neutral >Bevel Heaven (Blue) template (or any of the Bevel Heaven templates--for that matter)? I'm just not crazy about the color choices that are given. I looked at the custom.css, but do not have a clue as to where I would change the colors. Is this even possible? Also, is it possible to change the font color of the menu if you are not using the button feature? It will not change it from the template manager unless you use the button feature. Thanks.

This template's colors come from these files: hdr-bg.jpg, vmenu-bg.jpg, ftr-bg.jpg, vmenu-top.jpg and vmenu-ftr.jpg.

The text menu color can be changed with td.vmenu_main_off and td.vmenu_main_on in custom.css.

I looked in the file hdr-bg.jpg and this is what it showed (when I clicked on "edit file"):

I'm pretty new at this, but I don't think I've seen this before. It was about the same thing (special characters) in the vmenu-bg.jpg file. Where/how do I insert a new color code in this? Thanks for your help.

All these files are graphic images (hence the colors). You need an image editor such as PhotoShop or similar software to change color of these files or simply come up with your own substitutes. Make sure you don't change the dimensions of them.

Thanks, lwyau.
