Alternative Default Templates?

[Zilvia]

Forgive me for the basic question, but I have searched and cant seem to pinpoint these type of styles.

I am looking for default styles but with variant colors. Most of the mods I see are usually doing other modification to images or other parts of the design, I just want a XML to import that will change the default color options. Do these exist and if so how do I go about finding them? Thanks!!!

You can do this yourself!

In the admin cp - styles & templates - style manager, select your current style and in the dropdown box to the right of it select add child style

then on the next page it will ask it for a name

then go back to the style manager, look for the new style you just created, then in the dropdown menu look for the "main css" option, and there you will be able to change the colors

It will take a bit of time to figure out what affects what, but its worth it in the long run as you will have a greater understanding of what to change if you want to get a particular look

failing that Im sure someone will have created something which you need and be able to help out out that way!

Right, well I know how to make them and customize them. However, I am lazy and figured if people have spent so much time making truly custom skins, why not custom default templates? :)
