2/ Color for date buttons and the font color (button in front of articles)
3/ Color for ja-mass-top-banner

The easiest way for someone to offer help is if you post up the url of the site and make sure that in template manager you have set optimise css to ‘no’.

Methys already has the option to change the colours of the template so if you have already done this and now want to customise specifics then ideally a screenshot with what you would like to change is going to help too!

See screenshot…

I have set optimize css to “no” already….but I do not know where to change the three areas mentioned in my threat.

This is for a relaunch project of an old Joomla 1.0.x page and the temporary URL for the Joomla 2.5 page is
http://www.lsg-breisgau.de/httpdcos2/jupgrade

I want to change the colors in theme “blue” (just an example used) for the headline, main menu, date buttons etc

Link doesn’t work……. So this is from my Methys which is well modified – it may be slightly different in yours.

Mass-top module – you mean “Segelfliegen & Ultraleicht”? – This is a module as I’m sure you know in content-mass-top and you change the colour and font in the text editor in the module itself. You may want to use JCE as your editor.

For the headline module you need to look into the theme you are using and then images – this one is images/healineswrap-bg.png and you can simply put a new one in there in the colour you want. For the font colour you need to edit templates/ja_methys/css/mod_janewsticker.css

• background: url(../images/healineswrap-bg.png) no-repeat right center;
• float: left;
• padding: 9px 15px 9px 10px;
• color: white; < change this to the colour you want
• line-height: 1;
• margin-right: 10px;

}

For the date buttons again it comes from an image – createdate-bg.png and it will be in the same images file for your theme. If you want to change the colour of the text I suggest you look at the template.css file in the theme and look around line 76

dl.article-info dd.create {
background: url(../images/createdate-bg.png) no-repeat top left;
color: mycolour; < add this line
}

Hope that helps you!

Gruss
