Since the original thread has been closed, I am forced to open a new one. Here is the original;

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/design-and-skin-customization/15230/change-base-color-on-solo-artist-skin

I am still looking for a way to change the red framing and background color shown in the screenshot on this thread to the same blue as my custom header image. I'm getting constant complaints about the red and blue clashing, and I cannot find any way to change the base skin color.

If someone knows the way to do this or where the image files for this template are actually stored so I can load them into Photoshop and change them that way I would be deeply appreciative.

Attached please find a screen shot showing what I see in the Style Editor. Editing the font colors on a log are no good to me at all, and this is the only color option I can find.

All images for the Solo skin will be found in your skins/jrSoloArtist/img folder.

If the CSS element is not in the ACP > Skins > Styles, try clicking the Untagged button and see if it is in there, if not, you'll have to modify the CSS file directly and upload it to your server via a FTP program.

Oh dear; that last is just what I feared...*smile*. I am absolutely lousy at coding CSS. Will do the best I can and make sure I back up the original. If worse comes to worse I may end up switching to a different template.

An easy way is to clone the skin first, then work on the clone. That way you have something to revert to if anything goes wrong.

ACP -> TOOLS -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> CLONE SKIN.

Call it something like:
xxSomeName

you need to put the xxSomeName before the name you choose so there is a developer prefix. since its not for sale, xx is a good choice for prefix.

Then switch to your new skin and make any alterations. You can go back to jrSolo if there are issues. :)

Which color do you want to change it to?

What I think the steps your after are:
* in the "selector search" on the STYLE tab, type #header

You will arrive at this page:
YOUR-SITE.COM/core/skin_admin/style/skin=jrSoloArtist/file=core_admin_log.css/section=search/search_string=%23header

Change the 2 red colors on that page to the colors your after. the top one is the background color of the header, the second one is the link color of the menu links when they are hovered over by the mouse.
