Hi, I'd like to change the color of the title bar (the green one) to fit more the corporation identity.
I edited 3 files as a test : il-titlebg.gif il-titlelbg.gif & il-titlelbg.png
Then I cleaned my browser cache & reloaded, but nothing changed :(
Can somebody tell where are the files to edit to change the menu colors ?
Regards,
Maxime.

A simple way to view the image files used for title bar is to clear your browser cache, to display a page, and then to look at the files created into the cache:
- all images used into title seems to be named il-*
you forgot some of them: il-br.png, il-tl.gif, il-tr-ie.gif ...
they are all stored into your_wiki/skins/ace
- the css using these images is skins/ace/_struct.css

The best way to modify your look & feel is to modify the css files (they are also stored into your_wiki/skins/ace)

Take also a look at Tools, Control panel, Visual appearance and Customize site styles.

If after editing the files and cleaning the cache, you still display old version of images, I suggest you restart your Apache server

Thanks for you answer ;)
I've modified all the files you said, but still no changes...
I found the _styles.css file in skins/ace and modified some values too unsuccessfully (especially the "actionmenu" tag, I had big hopes on it :( )
I looked into the Firefox cache and no images are loaded (except one with lots of icons)...
At each step I cleaned the Cache and sometimes restarded Apache but nothing changed :(
I don't what more I can try...

EDIT : I said that nothing changed, actually something changed : the color of the pop-ups titlebars !! Nice... But the main titlebar remains as green as ever :(

You may want to be more specific exactly about what you mean by "main title bar"

Are you talking about the area of the page with "What's New" / Tools / etc?

Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the green bar with "My Page", "Recent Changes"...

Try editing skins/ace/bg-sitebar2.gif

If you're using firefox, you can right click anywhere on the skin and do a "view background image" to quickly get the image that's being used.
