I've gotten to the point where Gallery can see and select my colorpak, and it's changing some of the table background colors, but I can't get the entire page background color and the links colors to change.

Here's the code for the colorpak:

Quote:
<?php $colorpackName = $gallery->i18n('Autumn'); ?>
/* $Revision: 0.2 $ $Date: 2006/10/07 $
*/

#gallery {
color: #E0E0E0 !important;
background-color: #E0E0E0 !important;
}
body.gallery {
background-color: #E0E0E0 !important;
}

.gcBackground1 { background-color: #C0C0C0 !important; }
.gcBackground2 { background-color: #D0D0D0 !important; }

.gcBorder1 { border-color: #C0C0C0 !important; }
.gcBorder2 { border-color: #C0C0C0 !important; }

#gallery a {
font-size : 11px;
color : #606060;
text-decoration : none;
font-family : Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#gallery a:hover {
color : #ED9517;
text-decoration : none;
}
#gallery a:active {
font-size : 11px;
color : #606060;
text-decoration : none;
font-family : Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.giSuccess, .giWarning, .giError {
font-weight: bold;
}
.giInfo {
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #888;
}
.block-core-PeerList .current { color: #0b6cff !important; }

table.gbDataTable th {
font-size : 11px;
font-weight : bold;
color : #333333;
text-align : left;
padding : 1px;
border-bottom : 1px #C0C0C0 solid;
}

Any help or advice would be great - thanks!

you mention a table but there is a lot of tables; so i don't know what one you are having trouble with.

The gallery is currently at http://lab.ayersonline.net/gallery/main.php

I'd been working with the gallery in an embedded environment (http://lab.ayersonline.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=26), and just went looking in the primary site without the embed. I discovered that the overall page background HAS changed color - however, the main section areas are still white, as you can see at the link, and I'd like that area to match the background, but don't know what to change. Also, the links won't change from the default colors even though I've included code for them to do so.

in gallery/themes/matrix/theme.css edit:

#gallery {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 62.5%;
    color: #333;
    background-color: #fff;
}

change the background-color to your desired color.
Make a local directory and save it there.

I have found 2 tools that are invaluable the firefox browser and the web development tool that allows you to Make live edits to the CSS of a web page..
Once you have them both installed....
select edit css and under the 'information' dropdown check display ID & class details.
Edit your CSS and you will see the results. Once you have this the way you want, upload your edited css to the server.

But that would alter the base Matrix theme css. I'm using the Gallery Multisite program, and would like to use Matrix in different sites that require different color schemes, which is why I'm trying to make a colorpak.

Does adding that class to the colorpack not work then? I have not played with multi site much.
You might have to add !important if the colorpack is loaded first and the theme overrides the colorpack.
view the source and see the order of things.
