Ok, here is the absolute simple and easy way to change the colors - and you don't need to understand stylesheets and CSS coding at all to do it. Step #1: Copy the CSS code and paste it into any decent text editing program (it MUST have a "search and replace" function) Step #2: Open your favorite paint program (I use Paint Shop Pro 7 for this). Step #3: Using the search and replace function of the text editor, search for # - DO NOT put anything in the REPLACE box. Hit enter. Step #4: When you get to the first # found - look at the line. If it says something like "background color" then it is the background color. Copy the numbers after the # and paste them into the little box in your paint program that has # followed by 6 numbers. The color will show up in the color box and will show you what color you are editing. If you want that color to stay the same, just go back to the text editor and hit the "find next" button in the search box. If you want to change the color, find the color you like in the picker and the numbers in the hex box will change. Copy those and replace the numbers in the text editor. It takes a little time, but if you go line by line you can get it done without needing to understand the actuall CSS coding. Once you have the colors changed to what you like, save the file, copy it and paste it to the box in the My Options section and hit the appropriate button. Tada! No muss, little fuss. NOTE: This method does not work when you are dealing with color NAMES. To apply this to color NAMES you have to find each one (grey, blue, red, etc.) and replace those with the color codes of your choice.
