Default Re: How to modify home page

The issue is WHERE are the files that control the skin? Currently I have the 3-column selection, which folder contains two files (altskin.ini and screenshot.png), so no help there.

I believe two of the files I'm looking to modify are left_bar.tpl, main.css -- creating new sidebar styles to replace the rectangular boxes with rounded ones. Used to be I could insert right into home.tpl but that won't work any more. It looks like the 4.4 iteration wants to work with DIV class and ids. Just a matter of tracking down where those are defined.

Would LOVE to have an Xplod type program where you could dig straight into the coding without having to go on a treasure hunt. Images, tpl and css files are all over the place from root to skin to common file folder. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Cough.
