I want to change the font color in my forum just like SP, I would like to be able to change the topic color and leave the rest default.
I know the font size is controlled by the current theme installed but I wasn’t sure if these options are in the WP theme or in the SP theme editor.
If these options are in the theme editor I would like to know the best way to get a duplicate copy of the theme I choose to edit so I can mess around with it without messing with the default theme.
