Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do it?

My.. Space

Thanks in advance!!

Well basically, every type of font on your Myspace must have a color (or hex code) assigned to it. Hex codes are what make your colors appear. They are six figures that define a set color; for example to get white text you must use 'ffffff' and black is '000000'.

What I've done here is to break down your code and tell you what each line will define if you change the hex numbers.

CODE
table, tr, td, li, p, div { color:aaaaaa; }


This is your basic text. Everything that you write will be changed to whatever colour you specify here.

CODE
.btext { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes the bold text which tells you '[username]'s Latest Blog Entry' and '[Username] has 10 Friends' text.

CODE
.blacktext10 { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes the colour of your comment dates.

CODE
.blacktext12 { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes your extended network text colour. The bit that says '[Username] is in your extended network'.

CODE
.lightbluetext8 { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes your bold table text. The stuff that says 'Orientation:' 'Here For:' 'Zodiac:' etc.

CODE
.orangetext15 { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes your headers. Stuff such as 'About Me','Who I'd Like To Meet' and '[Username]'s Friend Space'.

CODE
.redtext { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes the color of your numbered comments. So if you had 10 comments showing out of 20, 'Showing 10 of 20 comments' it would change the colours of those numbers.

CODE
.redbtext { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes the colour of the number of friends you have. For example; '[Username] has 6 friends' - it would change the 6.

CODE
.text { color:aaaaaa; }


This changes the colour of all your details next to your profile picture. Your age, name, tagline and last log in time.

CODE
.whitetext12 { color:aaaaaa; }


Changes the colour of the left-hand headers. 'Contacting [Username]' and [Username]'s Details.

It's exactly the same for links. Each line of code changes a very small section of your Myspace. I'd advise you to explore what each one does by picking a bright colour such as red (ff0000) and substituting that in your code for the grey (aaaaaa). This way, you can see directly what each line of code changes and has an effect on.

S-Majere: If I go edit it myself, and change those numbers? I'm just going to mess it up.

I'd rather not touch it.

If someone could change the colors to dark red or something like that?
I'm not saying that out of laziness. I just don't wanna mess it up!

Thanks!!

dpl313 - Just save your original code in Notepad before you start editing your Myspace one. That way, if you mess up you can always go back to your saved version on Notepad.

Edit
- Have you sorted everything now?

S-Majere: Not into that idea, because that's 1-2 hrs of frustration I do not want to go through. I would rather have someone that's good at this just do it in one shot.

Hours of fustration pretty much sums up the life of a web designer, mate.

It doesn't take much; honestly.

You could get away with just changing
this:
CODE
table, tr, td, li, p, div { color:aaaaaa; }


to this:

CODE
table, tr, td, li, p, div { color:ff0000; }
