Editing Your Template Colors
All templates are built using basic HTML and all the source code used to create the template is included along with the download. This means you can alter anything about the template. This includes re-designing the template from the ground up if you choose.
Changing Menu Button Graphics:
In most Allwebco templates the menu buttons are defined by two files and some CSS code. To change the button graphics, find the "menu.gif" or "button.gif" and the "menuon.gif" or "buttonon.gif" in the "picts" folder and edit these graphics with your own. In the .css file (coolstyle.css or corporatestyle.css) you will find a section starting with either ".menu" or ".button". You can alter the font color, sizes and other menu button options by editing theses lines in Notepad. See the color chart for options.
Changing Backgrounds:
All the templates define the backgrounds a little differently. Some templates you will need to open each page and edit the line below near the top of each HTML page.
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000"...
Some template models set the background color in the coolstyle.css or corporatestyle.css file. This code is usually near the top of the CSS file. Click here for details.
Other template models are using .jpg or .gif graphics to define the backgrounds. Look in the "picts" folder for graphics to edit to modify your template. Most images are named so you can understand what they are used for.
Finding New Colors:
Check the color chart for template color options. Or download the RGBLab color mixer for custom colors.
Other Graphics:
There may be other graphics used in the template for the separators and sidebars. You will find all of these also in the "picts" folder.
Flash Background Colors:
Click here for flash header editing on newer models. On older models this is a bit tricky. Some AllWebCo templates, all newer models, you can change the background colors without using Flash software. Some older templates this may not work with. To change the Flash background, you will need to edit one or all of the following:
header.js
bar.js
header_index.js
index.html (only on templates with an intro page)
about.htm (some corporate models)
To start, open one of the above files in Notepad, search for this code: "bgcolor=". This might be in three or more places. Change the numbers following the "bgcolor" to some other color that you prefer. See the color chart or color mixer for options. If you change the colors and you seem to have a black or other colored box in the middle of the animation, please contact us and we will edit this out for you free of charge.
