<div>It is clear that all the classes and ids in the style.css file must exist somewhere in the code, be it the xhtml code or the php code. So, if I have .someclass defined in style.css then that must be applied somewhere in the code (where code can equal simple xthml tags, attributes and etc.)</div> <div> I noticed a layout.css is common in the themes also. I'm looking at argeebee now as it looks simplist to do what I want. Should I try editing that file also? </div> <div> What I just tried with argeebee by copying example into blackback was a file that somehow is not just all black now but has much more thrown off. Boxes that I used to be able to see are now gone. I can't find any more text formatting to change so that it show up again instead of being lost in the black.</div> <div>Bruce</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE

The major ones are:<BR><BR>1) misc/drupal.css - LOTS of stuff here that in all liklihood you won't<BR>need to edit much if at all.<BR>2) themes/mytheme/style.css - The styles specific to that theme.<BR>3) modules/mymodule/module.css - A few modules add their own styles, which<BR>usually are just positional. You shouldn't need to play with them for<BR>now.<BR><BR>Most of what you need is in #2. The overall page design and such will be<BR>defined in page.tpl.php (If it's a phptemplate theme) or in whatever the<BR>page template file is for tha theme. I would recommend looking at<BR><BR>- themes/mytheme/page.tpl.php<BR>- themes/mytheme/style.css<BR>- View the page in a browser and do view-source (or view-formatted-source<BR>with the right Firefox plugin)<BR><BR>Odds are those should cover any color and general layout you need to
do.<BR><BR>Cheers.<BR><BR>-- <BR>Larry Garfield<BR><BR>On Fri, March 31, 2006 12:37 pm, Bruce Whealton said:<BR>> Please advise on what needs to be known or done when changing the look of<BR>> a site.
