Magento

Hi all

I am trying to modify colors in the default template and have so far succeeded with the header background.

However I do have some questions I hope some can help on:

1) How do I change the color background in the Navigation panel where the products are listed?

2) How do I change the colors in:
1) Header Font (which file and which place?)
2) Navigationfont colors (which file and which place?)

3) How do I change background colors in the bottom box where the footers are? (which file and which place do I insert the color code?)

Hope someone can help me out here

Download Firebug to use in Firefox, it will help you figure out where anything is in the stylesheets: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

thanks for the replys. I have downloaded the mod but still cant seem to find where i change the font colors of “my account, my wishlist, my cart, checkout, log in” - spend several hours now nothing worked :o, in my line 23 in reset my body starts! pls explain where i change the color

You need to edit those lines in this file: skin/frontend/default/default/css/reset.css

thanks for the replys. Yes it was also reset.css i was referring to in beginning. I just can not seem to see where inside i change those font colors I have tried modifying alot but the fonts “my cart” etc dont change.

Could you paste the code here where it should be modified pls?

Looking forward for your reply

is it possible for you to paste the code which i should modify please here?

You really need to learn how to modify css on your own if you’re going to be designing a site - just download Firebug for Firefox as I stated above and it will tell you which code.

1) How do I change the color background in the Navigation panel where the products are listed?

menu.css line 38

2) How do I change the colors in:
1) Header Font (which file and which place?)

reset.css line 35

2) Navigationfont colors (which file and which place?)

menu.css line 37

3) How do I change background colors in the bottom box where the footers are? (which file and which place do I insert the color code?)

boxes.css line 564

wow. firebug is mental.

guys pelase my font is still same color. I use an ornage banner and the link my cart, wishlist etc is still orange!!! your referred lines etc is different on mine. Any can paste me the exact code I should change that would make wonders for me pls?

This is one of the reasons i still prefer oscommerce

use firebug to see which code effects that text.

then find that code in the appropiate .css file.

I managed it and I am a complete design noob.

Just some common sense mate. Using firebug you can select everything on the page. Select what you want to change and then on the right in firebug it will show you the code for that specific thing. You can then “find” this code in the appropiate css file (which it also tells you).

hmm dunno that programme just downloaded it - i mark the text or how?

by the way i changed my navigation color to green but in mozilla browser still show blue why is that?

Make sure you refresh the cache.

System > Cache Management

ok m8 thanks alot! it worked now! But why is the navigation color blue in firefox and green in Explorer?

make sure you actually change the files and put them into your store. don’t just change them in the “edit” part of firebug...as thats just for that view only.

other than that as sherrie says, refresh your cache. if its still not the same colour I am not sure what you have done lol.
