Color Problem with a template
I'm using the R5 discussion template to create a web forum. The problem that is driving me nuts is I can't find out where this orange color is coming from! I need all the colors to be black. Any idea how I can recolor this?

I also noticed that sometimes the view-applet doesn't display properly (just stays as a gray box). This is due to a problem with the applet in IE5.5.
To bypass this problem, put the following JavaScript in the onload event of the $$ViewTemplate pages :
applView = document.applets.view;
if (applView!=null)
{
while (!applView.isActive()) {};
applView.reshape(0,0,applV iew.offset Width,appl View.offse tHeight);
}
Is this tip worth a few exta points ??? ;-))

Ok, for now just look at the actual first page when clicking on forum. It appears that it uses $$ViewTemplateforDefault form but I turned everything in that template to black. It worked for the view portion but the action bar is what is baffling me... where is it getting that orange action bar? I don't see anywhere where I can choose the color of an action bar.

Oh yeah, don't forget to make sure the action bar is shown as an applet, otherwise you're settings won't matter.

That worked, thanks!

There you have all the places where the ugly orange colour appears in the default design template. Just change the colours in all the above pages and forms and all will be as you want it.
Also, don't forget to change the font colour of text to be displayed, because black on black isn't that readable ;-)
