    changing color of green template

    The school staff also asked how difficult it is to change the color from green to some shade of purple/lavendar. I'm guessing that it is probably pretty difficult since the color at least for the main header is determined by an image and not a CSS statement which provides the color to the template. I hope I'm wrong.

    Thanks

    Not very, but I think I can find someone who is. What needs changing? I think it may be just the blank header in the templates and a file named moduletitleby.jpg

    Is that it or are there more? Any hints? like how to get the two-tone look that the templates have?

    Thanks for your help.

    Here you go jkmoch.

    I have make a blank purple header / module header and css file which changes the green text (content headers / hyperlinks) to a deep purple.

    Change template_css.txt to template_css.css and replace the current ones with these.

    Holy Cow - Thanks for the GREAT service! I'm actually heading off to the school to talk about this site with them and they'll be surprised to see the purple. I hope this is satisfactory for them. Excellent service!

    Thanks!

    PS - I'm sure I'll have more problems and issues as I learn both Joomla/Edugeek and assembling a website. I just noticed that you responded to my request on the images, but I'll have to try that a little later today as I have to go. Thanks!

    Would you be able to do some similar colours used on this site please?

    Sure, can you be more specific on what colours for which images.

    To be honest I’m not sure how it would look best. Maybe if you could do some Burgundy ones, and then Blue ones and perhaps some half and half please? Sorry to be a pest I will make it worth your while at the conference.

    Any chance of releasing your .psd originals for these template images so others could play with them as well?

    regards

    Cheers for the offer but am having to give this one a miss. I'll knock then up in a bit.

    If I still had the PSDs of the default theme then sure. I'll have a dig around for it.

    The demo today went well - we noticed that the main menu was not purple, when you ran the mouse over the words they came up green and also the items on the left under "Whazzup" are green. Could you please consider making changes to the css file (I guess that's where it is) to correct these?

    I'm going to try to find a way of easily comparing the your css and the original css to see where the changes are and maybe that'll tell me where to make additional changes??? Much to learn. Thanks for helping me (us) out.
