I am not a developer.  I am brand new to DNN.  I am an amateur webmaster for my kids' high school marching band.

I am trying to change the colors of Aggregator to match the colors on the website.  I know nothing about CSS, or how to modify it from DNN.  Everyone makes it sound so simple, but, really, I am clueless as to where to even begin, and I cannot use Aggregator with its current, default color scheme.

Can someone help me, or point me in the right direction?

My site(s): http://fossilridge.net and http://arsnovawinterguard.com

THANK YOU!

The default color scheme is in the module.css file located in then /desktopmodules/DNNStuff - Aggregator folder. In this you'll see a bunch of theme sets for the various tab states like selected and unselected etc. A theme set is a group of selectors that all start with the same word. For instance, the Left themeset has selectors that start with Left_ such as Left_SelectedTab, Left_UnselectedTab etc.

Find the themeset you are using for the particular instance of the Aggregator module you are modifying and change the CSS accordingly. You'll most likely want to change the background colors and text colors to match your site. I noticed that your sites have had professional skins done for them. You may want to consult the developer of those skins to help you theme the Aggregator module. Unfortunately, the flexibility that the Aggregator module provides comes with the requirement of some basic CSS knowledge to configure it to match the look and feel or your site. I would google for 'css tutorial' and go through some examples first to learn a little bit about what is possible.
