Sharepoint 2007 Theme

[danIT]

Im starting to have a look a themeing Sharepoint, i've just downloaded the VHD from Microsoft.

 

I've set sharepoint to use 'breeze'.

 

I edited:

 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\THEMES\BREEZE2

 

theme.css

 

changing:

 

.ms-bannerContainer{

background-image:url(sitetitlebkgd_breeze.gif);

}

 

to:

 

.ms-bannerContainer{

background:red;

}

 

(You gotta start somewhere!)

 

Sharepoint doesnt seem to want to pickup my changes for whatever reason.

 

I've tried changing them theme to something else then back to Breeze,

 

I've tried doing the above, running iisreset,

 

Can anyone offer some help?

Take a look at my blog post from the Learning Gateway conference where there was detail on Theming and CSSing Sharepoint.
