Hi,
I am looking for a template, dark and classy with virtuemart integrated.

I found only 3 templates with virtuemart, but they really are flashy.

Didn’t I search well ?

Thanx

They all are a little flashy. I was looking for a dark grey theme.

Thank you anyway.

Remember . . . these templates are merely starting points for you to take and modify/customize any way you desire. You can omit certain elements, add others – the sky and your own creativity is (virtually) the limit. So, if you want to change background colors to a particular shade of grey – you can most definitely do so relatively simply within the relative CSS files.

When you say “coming,” do you mean “new and improved” versions or did you mean that these are already available (which they are)?

I am not very good at working in the code.

I should learn at least CSS to understand. Have you any book or website where I could learn a bit ?

That’ll be great.

Thanx

Not only are there literally dozens-upon-dozens of FREE resources available on the internet for learning CSS (from the basics on up), but there are just as many books, tutorials and instructional videos available that you can purchase as well. Here are several of both options that I immediately found and can think of off of the top of my head . . .

FREE RESOURCES:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

http://www.cssbasics.com/

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-sites-to-learn-some-css-programming/

http://sixrevisions.com/css/20_websites_learn_master_css/

http://toolkit.crispen.org/index.php?cat=css

FEE BASED VIDEO TUTORIAL (excellent & well worth the relatively nominal cost, in my opinion):
http://www.lynda.com/search?q=CSS&x=0&y=0

BOOKS:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=CSS&x=12&y=19

Believe me, my friend . . . learning CSS will be one of the best things you will do for yourself in working with pretty much ANY & ALL contemporary web design these days – and especially with Joomla based sites. You do not have to become an expert by any means . . . just take some time to familiarize yourself with the fundamentals and build from there. It may seem confusing at first, but BELIEVE ME, it all starts to make sense as you learn and experiment with how various CSS rules/classes/spans affect your designs/styles.

GOOD LUCK !!!

😀

nice informative links.. can we also change the behaviour other than the appearance of the web page using CSS?

What kind of behaviors are you referring to?
