@tomc one more question about the main issue. I am editing css file (t3-assets/css) to change the theme color though all the time it backs to its original colors in a different css file. Am I editing wrong file(s)?

Yes, because if you ever go to update your template and/or core t3 files, it will overwrite that t3-assets file with the new info – effectively erasing anything you modified.

This is why I always recommend the CUSTOM.CSS method.

@tomc So may I paste all codes into custom.css or is there any example to assist me to change theme colors?

It’s probably best to create a new color theme altogether – AS DESCRIBED HERE – and then cut/paste and modify the relative CSS rules and color-codes from there.

@tomc I can see the customised theme on ThemeMagic but when I check the web site it’s still show the old color. Could you please check the folders? If needed I can send the access info again.

I’m not completely certain how things are supposed to display (color wise) and/or which color code(s) you are using for your “grey” theme. Maybe a mock-up screenshot?

I have used #C0C0C0 as a brand primary color on ThemeMagic. I might do something wrong abotu ‘Compile LESS to CSS’. I have cust copied and added all css files into the new grey folder on /css/themes/grey.

Compile LESS to CSS

After customizing theme, please compile LESS to CSS. The new theme CSS files will be located in templates/t3_bs3_blank/css/themes/dark-copy

Well, after copying the CSS files, you need to modify the color codes for the various elements to fit the color theme you’re going for. A great tool to help you identify the appropriate CSS rules is .
