Hello,
I have been a very happy SMF user for a little more than six months. All of the boards on my site use the same theme which I customized when I first installed SMF. I recently created a new board, which I want to use a different theme. I am trying to customize the new theme and have been unable to.
I would like for the "Subject / Started by" bar to be navy blue. It is currently black. Under the root of my theme, "Orange theme by kenet," is a folder called 'css'. In css is a file called 'index.css' which appears to be where all of the colors for the theme are set. I have gone through this file several times and set all of the black and even dark gray colors to navy. It hasn't had any effect.
Should I be looking through another file? I looked at 'index.template.php' in the root directory of the theme, but there was no color information in there whatsoever. As I mentioned earlier, my theme is called "Orange theme by kenet," and I am using SMF 2.0.1.
Here is what this bar currently looks like.
Thank you,
Will N.

To change the black bars, you need to edit ~/Themes/{your theme}/images/theme/main_block.png You can also change menu_gfx.png in the same folder for the menu buttons.
In most 2.0 themes, the title bars are part of /images/theme/main_block.png. You can change the colors in your graphics editor.
Post a link to your site and I will set you up. ;)
Thank you everyone! It is fixed!
I spoke a little too quickly. Where the words Home, Help, Search, etc are, I would like to change the color of the selected item from black to navy. I assume that this is equally easy to do?
Thank you.

That's in index.css. You'll have to edit the .dropmenu classes. Search for ".dropmenu a" without quotes.
There is a file called /images/theme/menu_gfx.png that is getting called in index.css. I edited that file, and all is well.
Thanks again!!!
