Heya..

I've re-installed my gallery on a new host after having it offline for almost a year.. Everything seemed to be smoothly installed but I'd like to change the blu-ish background color of the gallery to match the rest of my site. I've been looking in the forums but haven't really found any help since the answers are for older gallery versions. standalone.css.default for instance does not exist 1.5.7 version css folder. So I don't know what to change and where. And with which program. I tried notepad, but it did not read the css files completely, just messed them up. Finally I'd also like to change the colour of the links to match the rest of my site.

All right.. anyone???

Hello,

so you are using the default skin and would like to change that.
Go to your Gallery folder and then into the css folder.
Copy the file 'screen.css.default' to 'screen.css'
Open it with an editor. (On Windows wordpad is better then notepad, because of the unix lineending)
You see:

body { ..... background-color: #749BFB ... }
......
a { .... color:# 4E2192 }

Simple change that to your needs.
