...with that animated gif in your signature, sure thing
Though, as with themes like the one you are using, which use images for a lot of design stuff, this task becomes more work intensive.
For basic themes, this would do:
A Short Guide For Changing Theme Colours1) using a colour picker tool (
Firefox/Mozilla have web dev extensions for this task, or you can use as Win user the freeware app
Color Cop, Linux comes with these kind of tools
), check the hex number of the colour you want to change
2) open the css file in an editor that comes with a decent findAndReplace tool (chami's HTML kit doews the job, but while there is a free verion, this is
NOT FOSS)
3) now just enter in find the hex code you want to get rid of (e.g. that eye shaddering yellow{hex=#ffcc00} and in replace, enter the colour you would prefer (for example a pleasant light blue {#6a88ff})
4) repeat 3) for all colour you want to change (which involves a little hunting down {don't forget to check the link hover colours, and forms, the stuff only obvious when using the system, and not only looking at some content})
Now you have the images to deal with, if you don't have thousands of dollars for Photoshop (and/or don't like warez),
GIMP will do the job.
Depending on how many images have been used, this might turn out, to be the heaviest regarding the involved workload.
Open each image you can find in your theme folder, change the image from palette to rgb values, and use the colourize tool (gif images don't use all available colours, but a defined pallette of colours, which most colour tools can't work with, as they like to have access to all colours).
Sorry if this is too brief, but I can't write a whole tutorial about image manipulation.
Hope this helps anyhow...post any questions that might arise, and I will try my best to answer.
Oh yes, and try to contact the guy who created that theme, and ask him if he wouldn't be interested in helping you creating different colour schemes for his theme. It would be great, if we had more colour options when it comes to themes. So please don't forget to provide us with a copy of your work and efforts
{thanks in advance
}
Enjoy!
