Default Change colors on Fashion Mosaic template

I want to take all of the pink and change it to another color. This website is unlike any other I have worked with. Usually there is a .jpg file I can color the way I want and replace it.

I have changed the logo, but can't figure out where to change all of the other colors. Basically, I want to change all of the pink to another color to match the logo. (3 Colors)

Also, in the future, I would really like to add a thin line of a plaid graphic all the way at the top where the pink line is now.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You should change your signature form V4 to the exact cart version - 4.2.x... 4.3....
The pink color is a background color control through css styles. You can replace it with another color by editing main.css usually, just find which style controls what you want to change

the website address is [the plaid piper . com]

The background color is white. The pink in all of the other areas, I can't seem to find when browsing through the files in the fashion mosaic folder.

Can I get detailed instructions or file locations? Sorry, but I am new to this type of layout and it's very confusing to me.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have changed my version.

It's hard to give you detailed instructions as this is not in just one place. The files to look in are skin1/main.css and skin1/altskin.css, you need to change "background" and/or "color" styling for elements you want to apply different colors. For example the color for the pink line at the very top is set in altskin.css in #header style - border-top: 3px solid #F3C8BF; if you want this line to be black color instead of pink you will change this line to - border-top: 3px solid #000; same rule applies for the other elements - you have to find which style is applied to them and edit it. Very helpful tool is Firebug for FF. You may also consider professional help

Ok, I will take a look at altskin. I haven't checked this yet.

I have installed Firebug and it's very helpful!

Thanks!

Ok, I see now.

However, I have a license and can't get that pesky notice deleted. Does it automatically remove when entering license info or do I delete it somewhere else?

Thanks for your help sir!

As for removing the warning, you have to add the url of your site to your QT control panel. There is a "register" button in the control panel that you must hit after entering your url.
