14.4.3.2 How to Modify a Color Scheme?

  1. Make sure you are logged in and go to your "My Account/Our Account" page.
  2. Find "Settings", in the Settings find "Appearance" and click "Change" next to it.
    • When you change appearance for the first time, you will get directly to your "Appearance" page with previews of all color schemes and skins available. Choose a scheme you like (not a skin as the skins are ready-to-use and you cannot modify them) and click on the "Select" button beneath it.
    • If some custom color scheme/skin was applied earlier, you will see its preview. Click on the "Pick Another Scheme" button to view all color schemes available. Choose a scheme you like (not a skin as the skins are ready-to-use and you cannot modify them) and click on it.
  3. Click on the "Modify" button.
  4. Your "Appearance" page opens a "Please define custom colors:" form containing a list of items. Each item listed has two boxes next to it: one is for the color's number (the so-called hexadecimal color number) and the other is for displaying the color itself. Important! The colors displayed belong to the currently selected color scheme.
  5. In the form's top right corner you will find a link to a Legend.
  6. Click in the color box opposite the item, whose color your want to change. A "Color Picker" window will open. (In the drop-down list of its "Palette" field, you can choose any of the four color-palettes available.)
  7. In the color palette open, click on the color you have chosen and it will replace the current color in the color box of the corresponding item. Repeat it for all the items, whose colors you want to change.
  8. After you have completed composing your custom color scheme, save changes. From the confirmation screen, you can go to your Fotki pages to view their new look and feel.
