[support] Editting themes? Documentation

[Laura Scott]

Hi Bruce,

In general, to change site colors, all you should need to edit is the  
style.css file in your theme directory (yourdomain.com/themes/ 
yourtheme). Each theme is styled differently, so there are no blanket  
tags I can suggest, but in general the tag names are rather intuitive  
(e.g., .node). By revealing codes on your displayed pages, you should  
be able to find the appropriate css tag in the style.css file and  
make the appropriate changes.

For more involved changes, the handbook has a couple of areas -- the  
"theme developers guide" and the "theme snippets" under the "php  
snippets" area.

I hope this helps!

Laura
