you would need to edit the stylesheet that's in the catalog directory.

Look for file with the .css extension in the catalog directory. Back it up the change a colour or 2 then look at the shop. You will get the drift. But B4 you do.. Back up the original so you can go back to it if you screw up!

Good Luck

I'm not sure which "boxes" you mean without seeing your page, but here's one sample from the css file:

TABLE.formArea {
 background: #f1f9fe;
 border-color: #7b9ebd;
 border-style: solid;
 border-width: 1px;
}

 

Anything that says "border-color:" is the color, I think you can figure the rest out. I only found a couple that have actual borders - the rest of the "boxes" have background-colors specified instead. So, you'll have to experiment and find which borders you need to change.

 

A good CSS site: http://www.w3schools.com/css/

 

Good luck!

There are template themes for various colour combinations that may be appealling for your store. Changing text and colour of text on the main page is something else. You can edit the text in the index.php file.

it's location path: catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php. You can delete the existing test and edit the text as it instructs between the two '' You must stay between the ' ' Here you can also assign colour to the fonts, images etc... using basic HTML code. B)
