bugleman Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Where do I change the background color that is the blue part around the main part of my store? Here is the link..... http://www.noveltybag.com I did it once and now I can't find which file to make the changes in. Also, I changed the colors around the boxes from red to blue but I'm getting little red squares at the beginning and end of the header lines. Where are they coming from and how do I change those to blue? Thanks.
bugleman Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Yea! I found how to change the background color. BUT I still don't know where those red squares are coming from or how to change them in the box headers. Does anybody know? Someone worked on my site briefly when I first opened it. Would they be something they put in themselves? If so, how do I delete or change them?
Guest Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 there a couple of images for the corners of the boxes. Their default names/files are catalog\images\infobox\corner_left.gif catalog\images\infobox\corner_right.gif
bugleman Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks! But now I'm lost. I renamed them just to see what would happen and now I have red x boxes where the images are supposed to be. What files have the code that points to those images? Do I want to delete the codes and images? There is no place in the stylesheet to change those to a different color because they are images, right? Can you tell I'm confused?
GraphicsGuy Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 The easiest solution is to download a copy of those images and use your favorite image editing software to change it to the color you want. Then change the file name back to what it was and upload it back to the server. Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.
♥Vger Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Upload some transparent gifs in the name of the original images, and they will disappear from view. The alternative is to go to includes/boxes/, go to each box in turn, and where you see statements (close to the top of the box code) like "true, false" or "true, true" change them to "false, false" Vger
bugleman Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Thanks everyone! I went in and made the images a different color like graphics guy suggested. Good idea! But doing it in a transparent image like vger said makes sense, too. Next time I decide to change colors I'll make the images transparent so I won't have to worry about them again. I'm hoping this will be the last change, though. Thanks for all your help. I would never have been able to figure this out by myself!
