This is my first attempt to create a theme and change colors without using a mod (color changer) in 2.1: :P
I have used browser inspect tool from several different browsers (all seem the same to me) and I have looked under the main_content_section in index.css but I can't figure out how to change the background color of that table/section. (see attachment)
FYI, trying to create a dark theme, if you couldn't tell lol! O:)
Finally found it!
Quote/* Styles for the general looks of the theme.
------------------------------------------------------- */
/* Box-shadow only on this one. */
#wrapper {
clear: both;
background: #2bff00;
border: 1px solid #b8b8b8;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14);
}

You will most likely want to change the background for #inner_section aswell.
By default it is found on line 3815 for the index.css.
I usually make it a separate class and put it in my custom.css file instead. That way I am just editing that specific class and not the rest.
So something like -
#inner_section {
background: #000;
}Here are some other useful resources for you :). Can't wait to see you submit your first theme here :).
Adobe Color (https://color.adobe.com/explore) - Adobe Color is a useful resource for finding color palettes. (Basically a set of 5 colors that work with each other)
FireFox Web Developer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/) - This is a nifty plugin that makes it quick and easy to check your html and css for validation. It also allows you to do many other things.
Colorzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorzilla/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search) - This is another nifty FireFox plugin. This one allows you to grab any color from any part of a website and give you the hex code or rgb code for it.
Thanks I will definitely check those links out! :)
I did a few themes several years ago but they were for earlier version of 2.0 and I've been out of practice for a while so I'm learning all over again but this is my first 2.1 theme doing on my own not cheating with mods lol! :P :o 8)
I need some good dark background images to use if anyone has any. Preferably dark, metal or motorcycle related. The theme will be a replica of my current web site which is a based off of Crip's 2.0 BR Finale Theme (https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?theme=2393).
This one will probably be for my use only but if I get it all worked out I'm going to do some more. ;)
All thoughts and ideas greatly appreciated! 8)
Still have a long ways to go but here is what I got so far...

Thanks! :)
Although the theme is not complete (stills have lots to do), I have it installed and set as default on my Live Site (https://bikerhound.com) if anyone wants to check it out. And if you spot anything I missed and need to fix let me know thanks! 8)
