Reposted: how do I change the forum colour scheme

If you use firefox webbrowser with the webdeveloper extension... its a simple matter of selecting: view style information from the toolbar and the cursor will change to a cross hair... then hover over the element you want
to change and click the left mouse button... a new page will open up with the relevant css code that applies to that element. Then you can style that element by looking for that section of code in your style.css file for your theme.

You can also look for the forum section in drupal.css, copy that section to your style.css file and modify it.

but note that if you change something it could change all occurances of that element on your website, in such a cas preceed the element with: #forum

example:

a:link
{
color: rgb(27, 76, 162);
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover, a:active
{
color: rgb(27, 76, 162);
text-decoration: underline;
}

will control all occurances of these elements on you site, but if you do it like this:

#forum a:link, a:active, a:visited
{
color: rgb(117, 121, 120);
}

#forum a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
color: rgb(117, 121, 120);
}

it will only apply the changes on forum pages.

you can do alot with css if you play with it, including using background images in the headers and containers if you wish.

If you want to do some advanced stuff, like I have done (see: www.newfoundnews.com)
let me know.

Check out your style.css, and you may want to check out the firefox web developer toolbar plug-in just to speed you along (there are a lot of functions to help identify what the different elements of your page/theme are).
