Looking for basic help on modifying Theme

[Crystal Wizard]

Hi.

Returning to Prestashop after some time away. I've forgotten things, and it's all changed!

 

I have loaded up my shop (1.6.1.6) with the basic theme (bootstrap-default).

 

I would like to make some alterations to the Theme that I cannot find in the Configurator or Live Edit.

 

I would like to make lots of changes to the Colour Scheme (I would like Deep Purples and Pastel Pinks).

 

I would also like to use my own background image.

 

I am confident at editing .php and .css files (and know to make backups before changing anything!)

 

I have used PrestaShop's "Create New Theme" to clone bootstrap-default, and called it Crystaline.

In Development! 

 

Can anyone help, or point me at resources for this?

Maybe if you open a new thread for each specific request, more people here could help you.

I didn't want to fill the forum with lots of specific requests, but if that is what you recommend, I shall go for it.

You should look with the browser inspector tool on the items you need to modify.

Most of the things you need are in theme's css directory ( see global.css) or in the installed modules css.

Thanks.

Currently I am struggling to identify what it is I am trying to edit.

I have started a new thread just working on the background - i am trying to use an Image.

It looks as thought I need to alter the columns-container element, but the edits I have made do not seem to work. 

More detail in other thread.
