Hi! I know this has probably been addressed hundreds of times, lol!! Could someone guide me in the right direction of making my own themes. Say SmugMug has a theme that I like how it's layed out but I want to change the "colors" or "background images" of that background and make a new theme. How Could I do that? Thanks again for your help

Sure we can help.

Start with more info okay? :D

Tell us what theme you want to start with, then what do you want to do? Exactly what do you want to change? The more specific you can get, the more great help we can give.

Well I was reading and it was saying to copy the css of a current theme and then change those settings to make a new theme. I don't know how to copy the css of a current theme. I did figure out how to make a theme but it just basically has a back ground that I did. Some of the themes have "frames" (I'm saying frames because that's what it looks like). Like the Earth it has 2 different colors. I would like to know how to just take any theme that is already listed and just change the "background" portions to make my own. I hope that makes sense, lol!!

OK first, get FF and the FF Web Dev addon:

at the bottom of our advanced faq. You'll need this to really tweak stuff effectively. Don't worry, it's easy to get/use and we even teach you with a tutorial on how-to.

Once you have that installed, and have done the tute, holler back.
