If all you want to do is change the look of the web pages, then it is the CSS that needs to be changed, just changing the background picture is explained in [[FAQ#How_do_I_replace_the_.27bird.27_image_on_my_website.3F|this FAQ]], . If you don't like your text being converted to lower case see [[FAQ#I.27m_using_the_supplied_web_pages.2C_and_get_lower_case_in_places_where_I_want_upper_case|this FAQ]]. If you want a more extensive change to the look, you might want to consider a third-party template, see downloads page or the support forum, as a starting point. If those don't suit you, you will need to learn about coding CSS (basically you specify selectors and for each selector you can specify a list of property names and their values), as the selectors available in CSS are really very clever now there is an awful lot you can do just using CSS, but it is too complicated to cover here. | If all you want to do is change the look of the web pages, then it is the CSS that needs to be changed, just changing the background picture is explained in [[FAQ#How_do_I_replace_the_.27bird.27_image_on_my_website.3F|this FAQ]], .

One contributor on [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15136 the forum] has produced a very impressive looking summary page, that is totally different to the standard Cumulus provision as it takes the numbers from realtime.txt not cumulus web tags, but he has achieved much of the look using CSS. | |||
