[support] A shot in the dark - was Drupal themes

[Bruce Whealton]

Please advise on what needs to be known or done when changing the look of a site.   I've been playing with one theme and have a good reason to believe that I'm missing something.  I started with fancy style and hoping that it wouldn't be that difficult as it appears that style.css is the file that needs to be editted.
  as the main style sheet.  
   
   
    I'm just trying to change the font colors and background colors for the main content area.  So, in style.css I see any number of labelled class and ids.  Matching them up with something in the php and later xhtml file is not at all clear to me.  Where is such and such class or id being used?  
   
  I'm just taking a shot in the dark, thinking, "well, maybe this style (class or id)  goes with this text on the web page.  Does that make sense, what I'm trying to describe about my confusion and the conviction that I'm missing some information somehow.  
   
  I really didn't want it to be this complicated and it didn't seem like, from the feedback I got, that it would be this difficult.
   
  The site in question is
  http://ghwilliamscollaborative.com
  It is obvious that the site has problems with the styles for the site.
  Please advise.

All drupal themes use CSS. It is trival to change the colors. Just look at the different CSS files for a theme. Less trivial to make a nice colorscheme let alone to come up with a nice theme. Buts just changing the background color would be a no brainer.
