I'm using Rick's style for this forum and alterating the colors to suit my site. I've been successful on all counts except for the alt-2 properties. This - I believe - is where the columns alternate from white to the pale blue to differentiate one column from the next. I'm guessing this is set with the alt-2 color properties in General CSS Properties. I'm starting to think that it is not alt-2 properties at all, but rather needs to be updated directly in the text file as it is an embedded part of the style not controllable through control panel. Is that the case?
