Hello All! This is my fourth task. I will be working on completing task 033. The goal of this task is to create a document that explains how to modify the default Joomla! 1.5 template: Milkyway. Looking at what the task recommends, I expect there will be a lot of CSS editing. I've modified quite a few Joomla! templates, so I'm rather comfortable with this task so far. I do, however, have a couple questions about the first two specified modifications:
*Change the Color Variation of the Template.
*Change the Background Variation of the Template.
What, does this mean? Lol. I know how to change colors and such, but what does 'color variation' mean? Does this mean change the entire colors scheme? If someone could define that I'd be grateful.
I plan on including a small resource page at the end with links to some great color tools that I use frequently. I had planned on using Dreamweaver for editing the CSS. I know its not open source software, but I've used it for so long I'm comfortable with it. If it is preferred I use something else (Nvu/Kompozer) I can do that, too.
Thanks for allowing me to continue to participate in GHOP!
