Copy and paste this into your header include template (we'll come back to skin.js later on)

 

 

Next make a new cp.css file in your themes section and copy paste this - Remember to make sure the image links are correct

background-position: bottom;
}
.colorpicker_submit.colorpicker_focus {
background-position: bottom;
}
.colorpicker_slider {
background-position: bottom;
}

 

Open your header template and put this where you want the color picker to show

 

Now we can open skin.js and choose what we want to be effected by the color picker

Look for this line and add here all the classes and id's you want to be colored - make sure every class or id ends with a ,

var customElements = " #panel, .tfoot, .upper, .thead";
