Default Change template color

Can you change the color scheme of a pre-made dreamweaver template? If so how do you change it?

Default Changing colors on template

Sure, changing colors is pretty basic. I don't use dreamweaver but I know you can bring up your pages in code. You just need to find the part you want to change and substitute a different code for the color. The html will give you the class or id for the part you want. The css will give the color input.

One place to check for the color information (so you can know what code will give you the new color you want) is:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colornames.asp
There are many others.

If you are unfamiliar with the html and css you may need to ask someone to help find these (I am assuming you have not studied markup much to date in view of the question). You do not need to know a lot but this is a good example of why it is worth your time to learn a little about code yourself. Dreamweaver, Front Page, or any other program that does the code for you will often leave some problems for you to fix. One of the best places to learn the basics is http://www.w3schools.com/ because it is standards compliant. It doesn't take long to get to the point of being able to make changes like this in your code.

Good Success.

James
