Different Colors for Different Parts of a Site

Having different parts (modules) of a site in different colors is an easy thing to do. The present maxdev.com site is an example of this concept.

Start with a theme that lends itself well to different colors. A horizontal navigation bar is a good step in the right direction

Suppose that you want the news page to appear with the color green and downloads with the color red .

Make a copy of theme.html named theme_green.html and another as theme_red.html

Modify the HTML code of theme_green.html and theme_red.html to reflect the colors you want.

Go to Administration -> Settings ->AutoTheme, click on your theme ->, Custom Modules, select the News module and add theme_green.html for page template and select block areas you want.

Do the same thing for Downloads and select theme_red.html

You are done.

Now when you click on News on your site the page will appear with green and when you click on Downloads the page will appear with red.

You may make other changes to distinguish the pages at any time.
