<div>Laura,</div> <div> What are "theme snippets" and "php snippets?" And here is a page describing how to edit the user profile layout and display.</div> <div>It's called Customizing the User Layout</div> <div><A href="http://drupal.org/node/44481">http://drupal.org/node/44481</A></div> <div>While it gives and example of a profile_profile.tpl.php the description of how it works and what it's doing seems too limited for me to figure out the different ways one can edit the profile display. I'm feeling somewhat ignorant, but I do know how to work with php somewhat. Here's one thing that stands out, the fact that the profile_profile.tpl.php file doesn't already exist. So what is controlling the display of profiles now before one were to follow these directions to customize the user profile layout?</div> <div> </div> <div>Then there is a theme that displays the drupal image in the background of the wallpaper.
Is the
best way to change that going to be creating another image with the same name and extension but with a different image/picture, something more fitting my site? Or is it better practice to edit the code?</div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Bruce<BR><B><I>Laura Scott <laura@pingv.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hi Bruce, <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>For more invol

changes, the handbook has a couple of areas -- the "theme developers guide" and the "theme snippets" under the "php snippets" area.</DIV> <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>I hope this helps!</DIV> <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>Laura</DIV> <DIV><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 11px Verdana; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; apple-text-size-adjust: auto; orphans: 2; widows: 2"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 11px Verdana; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; apple-text-size-adjust: auto; orphans: 2; widows: 2"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="WORD-SP
