Hi guys. hope you have all been keeping well

My coding hasnt improved over the years, and would appreciate a little help
I have added hmailer and squirrel to the server...rather impressed.
Except squirrel only has colours foe background and I would like to change these to a similar appearance to kakariki.net...
Have googled asked for a week or so but cant find what I want

In the theme.pgp are lines like this that cange the colours

Code:

global $color;


$color[0]   = '#808080'; //   addit. text background


$color[1]   = '#900000'; //    ??


$color[2]   = '#FF0000'; //    warnings


$color[3]   = '#d4d0c8'; //   Left Bar Background


$color[4]   = '#d4d0c8'; //   Normal Background


$color[5]   = '#808080'; //   Table Headers

then in left_main.php right_main.php lines like this that I believe call from the theme for the background colour

Code:

  '', $color[4], 'width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" border="0"' )


                             )


                        ) ,


                    'center', $color[9], 'width="70%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0"' );

Can I do something like

Code:

global $color;


$color[4]   = 'url("/images/backgroundlite.gif") ;

Or would I have to change the themes.php
global $color;
to something like

Code:

global $background;


$background[4] ='url("/images/backgroundlite.gif") ;

And also change all lines in other files from $color[4] to $background[4]

Cheers

Being tryintg diff stuff
Have identidied where in each file the background colours are
lines like this...$color[3] is the one I want to change to an image

Code:

echo "\n<body bgcolor=\"$color[3]\" text=\"$color[6]\" link=\"$color[6]\" vlink=\"$color[6]\" alink=\"$color[6]\">\n";

Since I have found each line in each file, it maybe easier If I just hack those lines?? as I did in creating by own theme out of nuke default...
Tring stuff i either get no colour or background, a code error or a black or green???

Cheers
