Hi I am wanting to do a custom colour scheme and have achieved this so far by changing the colours of certain images i found within the images folder. There are other parts of the website which i still cannot change and they are the blue highlighting the menus as shown in the link below

Hi orchard,

You can download the ja_mesolite source file and open it by Photoshop, next step you custom the colour scheme and slide it. So you need modify some colour in the template.css file and ja_splitmenu.css file. (ext: high light colour or active colour)

Hi I have searched through the template.css file and cannot find the colours or areas of the template that I am looking to change. Which is the rectangle blue which highlights the menu option. I was wondering if someone knows what this is called within the css file??

you can change ja.cssmenu.css (line 116)

#ja-cssmenu li a.active, #ja-cssmenu li a.active:hover, #ja-cssmenu li a.active:active, #ja-cssmenu li a.active:focus {
background:#00A9DD none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

Hi I was wondering what file that was in as I have searched the template.ccs file and went to line 16 and it doesn’t bring that up unfortunately.

orchard, there is a great free tool for finding all of these files. it is called firebug and its a plugin for firefox. it will make your color scheme change a lot easier

Hi guys thanks for all your help so far… I have managed to change a lot of the stuff and installed firebug but it doesnt seem to show me where I need to change the CSS but mayb thats because I need to learn how to use it. I followed all of your instructions about changing the colour of the menu bar from the standard blue but unfortunately it doesn’t change the menu at the side. Any suggestions and you can see what I mean by looking up http://www.jonahsbigfish.com
