Hi there,
I have a question related to design. Im using the bootstrap theme which I prefer here www.ukmusic.com
However I want to change just the post section
To this one
(which is the default skin style). So I can see the css etc ... but
What's the way to do this ? is it edit a template or all css. I had a look and couldn't find out how, I know how to edit templates and css but needing pointing in the right direction
Doug.

Stylesheets are generally located in the appropriate theme's directory. For example, Bittersweet's stylesheet is in
/themes/bittersweet/design/custom.css
.The default theme doesn't actually have a stylesheet. It only uses the default css file (which is included on ALL themes by default). You can find it at
/applications/dashboard/design/style.css
. You shouldn't edit that file, but instead edit thecustom.css
file of your theme to override and styles you want.Search first

thanks HG, that's helpful as I didn't know about default style. OK so I get now kind what I have to do , but when I firebug the css and then copy it into the custom it just doesn't work. It seems to bring up loads of loads of CSS sections ? any help appreciated
for example I only want to edit that 'MessageList Discussion' section, but am struggling to isolote this css and then bring it successfull to custom
it's still not real clear what you are trying to achieve. it may be clear to you, but I don't know what you want to style from what to what.
the first image looks nothing like the second image with regards to content.

if you want to move the avatar inside the box?
experiment with adding to custom.css
pad and style as necessary.

@peregrine
I think the OP wants to restyle the discussion pages to look like plain Vanilla, rather than Bootstrap.
oh you must mean the BitterBootstrap theme

yeah I want re-style the discussion section but finding it quite hard to work out how this css works
may I suggest you post in the proper vanilla 2.1 help category for future posts. unless somehow you are using bootstrap with vanilla 2.0.x
And Bootstrap specific questions should probably be asked here....

normally you would want to post issues with bootstrap theme here
https://github.com/kasperisager/vanilla-bootstrap/issues/new
but since this is so esoteric and extreme, I suspect you wouldn't get much help filing on github.
you might examine the description, clone the theme, and change the less files - if you want to change alot of things properly.

thanks guys, well after a late night, I got there, pretty painful (I hate CSS) but it's done.
Thanks so such all for your help !
As esoteric as it may seem.....
believe it or not. someone is going to ask you 6 to 9 months from now what changes you made and how you did it. so, if you have a zip of your custom.css - you might consider posting it, if that is all you changed.

Not quite that drastic, but yes, always a good idea to post your solution.

just hacked the crap out of the custom.css and style.css , between those two got the job done.
