Hey sorlac,

It’s pretty straight forward to change the Reboot colour schemes using the overlay.

First off, it’s important to start on the right foot and make a Child Theme. We provide the frameworks for free in the store so all you really need to do is download the Reboot Child Theme Framework and install as it’s own theme to get started.

There are two types of overlay for Reboot, light and dark. The light overlays use dark icons and borders and the dark overlays are block colour, no borders and white icons. An example of a light overlay would be ‘light-blue’ and an example of dark would be ‘blue’. It’s best to pick which one you want to use as a base before starting then copy the overlay file from the Reboot styles > overlays folder over to your child themes styles > overlays folder.

Then open the overlay – You can change the $baseColor values to change colours. The $baseColor’s are used throughout the theme so changing say $baseColor2 from blue to red will change everything that used the original blue to red throughout your forum.

But experiment, it’s the best way to go! Each $baseColor has a note to explain where it is mostly used but be sure to explore the forum after making changes to make sure you’re happy.

Thanks, this is helpful for the colors.

Now, how can I change the default computer icon?

sorry, what do you want to change?  the purple?  not sure what image is…  can you please clarify?

The clipart image left of Public Forums.

you mean the  icon of a computer? is that a reboot theme icon?  maybe group view?

if so and you want to change the color or appearance of it,  you will need to supply your own icon (image file) instead…  if you just want to recolor it, you could use a graphics program to do so..

you can change the icon to yours by uploading your custom icon on forum – forums – custom icons… and then edit the group on forum – forums – manage groups and forums and select that custom icon to be used for that group…  that allows you to have a custom icon for each group…

if you just want to change the icon for all groups, you could do as above, or just replace the image in the child theme we recommended above…

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for!

Glad we could help, sorry I missed the icon question the first time round!
