Editing Styles for Dummies

[Scott Spain]

I'm about the venture into the world of styles for the first time, and I'm scared out of my pants.

I'm going to start with Zachery's "Evil" style. There are a few things I'd like to change. My main question is a general one. After I upload all the images, and apply the .xml style page, how do I make changes to the style? Do I just change the .xml file and re-import it?

Since I'm babbling, I might as well ask about the first change I'd like to make, which is the page's background color to white. Is it correct of my to guess that I change this:

<template name="body" templatetype="css" date="1094680347" username="Zachery" version=""><![CDATA[a:7:{s:10:"background";s:7:"#191919";s:5:"color";s:7:"#FFFFFF"; (truncated)

And that #191919 is the page background color, and #FFFFFF is the color of any text that would appear over the background?

Thanks.

Never edit the xml, your doing too much work


AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS (from the drop down)

Here you can edit all the values accross the board. If you need a new logo (because your changing the background color) let me know

Thanks for your help. I do this after I upload/import the style, right?
