I am using Carbon theme with a black colour pack but find the text in the various option boxes, which is dark grey on grey, hard to read. How do I change it?
I take it it will be somewhere in the Carbon/theme.css
Thanks

Yes, /themes/carbon/theme.css

Make a local directory under /themes/carbon/ and copy theme.css into that. Make your edits there. This way you'll retain your edits if you ever upgrade (if there's ever another release of G2)

Install Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Install the Web Developer toolbar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60

Install the Firebug extension: http://getfirebug.com/

That'll make it easier to find what css properties control what on the pages. Or just click View > Page Source and take a look and see which css class that text is being controlled by.

I couldn't work on css without those. Well I could, but it's a pain without those tools :)
