Hey guys. Does anyone know of a freeware/shareware software tool that would make it easier to do theme changes?  Right now I'm just editing the text document, but I don't even have a color chart so its very slow going.   

Does anyone have any recommendations on programs?  Stuff like dreamwaver, but free?  Thanks  Wink


(The good news is that this means I do in fact have 1 forum installed, tp installed on that, and customized!   No working on visual stuff. YES!   Afro )

Oops. Sorry.   I didn't think that was graphically oriented.  I'll give it a shot

I don't know of anything that works with PHP that is graphically oriented.

Nothing is...had to learn it the hard way.

Doh!   Oh well.     OK does anyone at least have a link to a color chart or something I can use?  The comments in the style sheet are pretty easy to follow.  Hopefully I can leverage some of my sql knowledge in terms of understanding php.

Heres a nice little app that I use

"ColorMania is an on-screen color picker that allows you to select a color from anywhere on your screen and then copy the Hex (HTML, Delphi, VB, C++) or RGB values to the clipboard. It comes with a small preview that lets you a colored font on the background color you selected as well as option to modify the color and save it as one of 5 favorites. In addition, you can set the zoom factor and generate random colors. Easy to use, compact and basic in features.

There's actually a color tool that you can install as an extension in Firefox. I think it's called color picker.
