How to change color? 1 Year, 3 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hello,<br /><br />I love the Mint Fresh template very much.&nbsp; However, I am wondering how I go about changing the color so that it has a light blue theme instead of a green theme.<br /><br />Here&#039;s what I would like to see:<br /><br />1.&nbsp; background: white<br />2.&nbsp; main color blue instead of green<br />3.&nbsp; font color: black<br />4.&nbsp; menu color: blue; font color in menu: white<br /><br />My nonprofit has a blue logo so the green theme doesn&#039;t fit it very well.<br /><br />I think I have to change the CSS file, but I&#039;m not sure how to go about doing this.&nbsp; <br /><br />Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help out,<br />Wendy

Dear Neo, <br /><br />Thank you so much for your help!&nbsp; I think you&#039;ve given me enough information to change the CSS file.<br /><br />Some more questions:<br /><br />1.&nbsp; You wrote:<br /><br />&quot;background:url(../images/bg2.gif) repeat;/*CHANGE THIS TO COLOR YOU LIKE AND TAKE IMAGE OFF*/ <br /><br />can you provide an example?&nbsp; I&#039;m not exactly sure of the syntax.&nbsp; Would it look like this:<br /><br />background: repeat;#436EE<br /><br />2.&nbsp; If menu background is made of images and not color, where can I find the image files so I can change the menu background to blue from green? <br /><br />I wish there was some sort of WYSWYG tool for CSS files for easier editing!&nbsp; <br /><br />Again, thank you very much,<br />Wendy<br /><br />
