Container color on Product page and Categories

Hello,

I am upgrading my Opencart from a way older version to the new version. I am trying to design my own theme to match my older theme and have a few questions.

First here is the new site example page: http://staging.aradanicostumes.com/elf_ ... anime_ears
Here is the older (1.4.9) site example page: http://www.aradanicostumes.com/elf_ears ... anime_ears

First, how do I change the color of the Title bar for Catagories, Bestesellers ect. from white to another color?

Second, I would like the main product section to be lighter in color like my older site (I think this is the container color?), and mimic this in categories and manufacturer lists.

Third - where do I change the color for the lower information box on the new site?

Finally - I have changed my link color to black, but for some reason it always turns to the default light blue even when I tell it that visited links should be black. Any ideas why this may be happening?

Thanks in advance!

Right off the bat, ya done good, apparently you didn't destroy what you had, you did a parallel install or upgrade. Since you've already wrestled with it and aren't just asking what is the bulk that comes after the title page of "CSS" . . .

(1) The white is "#F5F5F5" (many of us encode faintly different colors in order (among other reasons) to find or change them "all" in one hot hurry), so in a pure text editor search for that, see where it is and isn't, and change it (where it counts here, not necessarily "all" instances in "all" open files) to what you want.

(2) You want to change Product "#66633" to your "#F2F2C4" (probably in "product" portions of css), so likewise find it, see where it is, and change it.

(3) You want to change "#F8F8F8" in footer css to perhaps your "#66633" to your "#F2F2C4"; same method.

(4) Among the various a, link, visited, hover, whatever colors look for "#373737" to change to what you want; same method.

Thanks Butte,

I tried to do a search for those in stylesheet.css and header.tpl and product.tpl but didn't find those colors anywhere. Are there other terms I can search for to find those places? Or am I looking in the wrong files?

Thanks again for the help.

If those colors aren't hard-coded anywhere as numbers or names ("#nnnnnn" or "colorname") in .css, .tpl, .php, etc., then they may well be hard-coded as summoned images instead, and for mere color backgrounds those may well be (and ordinarily are) tiny files (px x px and kb, all at once, as small as 1x1 and <1kb). You'll find those in your image/ tree(s). Their file names will appear instead of numbers or names in .css, .tlp, .php, etc., whether as ": path/filename.ext;" (or similar) or simiarly as "url" followed by path/filespec. There are not very many ways to command different colors onto the screen (#F5F5F5" is pretty bright white but is not at all the default "#FFFFFF" dead bright white, maybe a bit alike the difference between a sunlit white onion and a sunlit freshly whitewashed fence).
