Yes, of course I searched. There are loads of questions for a newbie; where to search, whole sentence or individual variables, and how to interpret and what are the consequences if I modify the settings.

This is what I get when I search the whole sentence in templates, in forumbits.css
Should I edit this file or the sylevars?

Solved.

For others I will giva an explanation in a few minutes.

--------------- Added [DATE]1261255607[/DATE] at [TIME]1261255607[/TIME] ---------------

For other newbies:

- with Firefox and Firebug, right click on the style you want to identify.
In this case, you should see ".forumbit_nopost .forumhead .forumtitle a" in the style window (you will see lots of other things too...) but the one you are looking for should be vertically in the center.

- copy this and go to the VB controll panel => Styles and Templates=> Search In Templates
You will find this string in forumbits.css

- Open this file, search for the same string again (search in template = > Find button) and you should find the line color: {vb:stylevar forumbits_aForum};

So now we know this variable is the one: "forumbits_aForum"
- Click Style Manager, select Stylevar, hit Go, type forumbits_aForum in the search box on the left and you should see forumbits_aForum in the list below. Click on this and edit the color in the box on the right.

Done (As always check the results) And does it change the color of something else? Well that's another story. I do not know.
