Changing the colour
 
Hi all,

I'm not so good with CSS -- so I thought I'd ask for some assistance :)

First of all, can anyone tell me the html colour code these are using for that blue: www.techspot.com/blog

I want to change my blog to that colour -- but haven't got a clue how to do it. Here is my stylesheet:

Code:
body {
background: #ffffff;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: 9pt Verdana, arial;}

#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;}


/* HEADER */

#header {
width: 100%;
background: url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-x;
height: 181px;}

/* TOP NAVIGATION */

#navbar {
margin-top: 0;
width: 100%;}

.menu * {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;}

.menu {

padding: 0;
margin: 0;}

.menu ul {

position: relative;
list-style: none;

padding-right: 25px;}

.menu ul li {
float: right;
display: inline;
padding-top: 0;
padding-right: 30px;
list-style: none;}

.menu li a {
float: left;
display: inline;
font: bold 9pt Verdana, arial;
text-align: center;
padding: 12px 0;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #FFFFFF;}

.menu li.current_page_item a {

What would I change to get the header the same colour as that websites I linked you to, and the sidebars.

Thanks!

I have no idea on changing your place to look like that, but I can give you the html color codes.

The lighter blue with the pictures in the middle is:

5d7584

The darker blue with the nav bar and the title at the top is:

314252

Check out this free tool for grabbing colors: http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/gettingStarted.aspx

Then use another free tool like CSS vista http://litmusapp.com/labs and just start changing stuff till you get what you want. You'll learn CSS and have fun doing it.

I just Print Screen and Ctrl+V into Photoshop. Then use the eye dropper tool ;)

Jase2 03-28-2008 11:42 AM
Thanks for the replies.

Well, CSS is not my main target, really. But it would be a plus if I managed to learn it. Currently learning Java, PHP and C++.

Regards Jason :)

What is the html colour for the colour at the side here?

Thank you.

Regards Jason :)

Get this program and you can find them easily yourself:

http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html

I've been using it for years. Just hover over the color you want and it shows you the code for it.

Jase2 03-31-2008 06:47 PM
Thanks for that Boofo, quite an handy little program.

Regards Jason :)

Boofo 03-31-2008 06:47 PM
Yep, I like it.

if you use Firefox install the ColorZilla extension (http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/)
the Webpage Color Analyzer feature is great

Jase2 04-01-2008 05:09 PM
Thanks Princeton!

I'm hoping some one can help me out with this, since my CSS knowledge is lacking.

You can view my blog here: www.techsupportteam.org/blog

You see I've changed half the outside with my colour blue: 314252

However, I cannot figure out how to change the other half and the header to that colour, here is my CSS:

#footer a {
  color: #87BBD9;
  }

#footer a:hover {
  color: #fff;
  }

#credits {
  clear: both;
  margin: 0 auto;
  line-height: 19px;
  }


/* Extras */

.cleared {
  clear: both;
  }

.left {
  float:left;
  }

.right {
  float:right;
  }

#nextprevious {
  padding:10px;
  font-size:80%;
  }
Again, this is the html colour I'm using: 314252

I'd appreciate if someone could help me out here.

Thank you.
