Well the question is in the subject.

My site:http://deddeh.com has a contact and registration form that i'd like to customize (colors, not form inputs), but don't know where to start. Anyone have any suggestions? I tried looking at the style.css in the themes folder, but it didn't have any specific attributes for XOOPS forms. Or am i missing something?

I tried searching for this, but i couldn't find anything. Someone be kind enough to spare me your wisdom :).

I'm sure this can be handled, to some extent, via css. I'm far from a css guru so I'll leave explaining that route to someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

Another way would behttps://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=43&lid=1343

I haven't used this--but as I understand it, it allows one to use a different theme for each module. So customize your theme (or another theme) for the module in question, then use this tool to tell XOOPS you want to use that theme for that module.

open the php files of the pages/forms that you want to change, and look for the class and id definitions that are used.

For instance, in register.php the most common class used is; class=head

so, in your style sheet look for this line;

.head { background-color: #111111; padding: 3px;}

and thats how it works.

You can add different class's or id's to each section that you'd like to change, just make sure that you define them in the style sheet.

carnuke has a FAQ that explains a good way to find out exactly what class's and id's are being used for each page here;

Happy xoopsing!
