Green Salad into Red Salad?

Permalink
Complete newbie to Concrete.....

Love the green Salad theme, but could really do with changing the green blocks to Red.....the grass can stay green!

How would i go about doing this?

Copy the theme to your root "/themes" folder, activate it via the dashboard, and tweak the CSS styles in the main style sheet.

Then you'll have your...uh...Christmas theme. :-)

I have tried that.

I have found the following code in the main.css which i thought related to the header block, and changed the color value to a red, but it isn't working...still shows up green!

#page #header {
   position:relative;
   height:100px;   
   background: url(images/header_bg.jpg) repeat-x top left #F10C0C;
   padding:15px;


I am not that experienced in CSS but it seemed straightforward to me....what am i doing wrong?

You'll have to spend the time educating yourself on this one. (: You can do it. Two of your best tools are the World Wide Web consortium that has great tutorials (www.w3schools.com). And google the Firefox plugin called "Firebug". Search for some videos on how to use it. Once you understand how to use Firebug it will become your best friend for manipulating CSS and HTML.

The Green theme is all jpgs, changing the colour would change the text but not the images, you may need to open the files in an image editor and try to edit/recreate them there.

Then export them out and re-upload to your site that should do the trick, export with the same name as the existing images and you will not need to change anything other then the css color:{}
