If you want to edit the style.css file your but not sure what to change to get the effect you are want, here's a useful tip.

  1. Install the FireFox Browser.
  2. Install the FireBug addon.
  3. Navigate to your PHPR page
  4. Point at the element you'd like to change.
  5. Right click and select Inspect Element
    The information needed to change the element will be displayed.
    I use Microsoft Expression Web to edit the style.css file but any editor will work.

It seems to edit it right away. If you click on the Inspect element, and in the Style window on the right, you can put your mouse over the hex colors, it displays the current color, just high light the hex code and change the color, I use this site for the color hex values http://html-color-codes.com/
Once you change it, it puts the color in its place.

You can install the "Web Developer" add on for Firefox.This one allows you to save your css.

Assuming the css resides on your local machine.
