Is there a easy way to change the color of a theme without a lot of knowledge with css style sheet? I have the blueblue theme but it's a bit too gray/grey (which is the right sp?) ... I wanted to lighten it up a bit but don't know if there's an easy way.

if your not using CSS
open the HTML file(s) and jsut do a find/replace for the offending HEX colors.

Well I opened the css file on frontpage and the thing is, there's a bunch of lines with color: hex number, but I'm not sure what number goes with what.

I tried the other ones, but I like this format and everything. It's just a little too dark ... I'm hoping there is an easy way to change things around. So far there's like 4 different shades of gray, some I don't even know where it goes.

Thanks! But what I meant was I did not know what color:hexnumber match with what in the webpage, the background of the whole page, the background of each window, the borderline trim, etc ... some of the wording on the css style sheet helps not to the point where I know this line would effect this ...

deciphering someone else's code can be a b!tch. it's gonna take a lot of time and patience.
