Question default_ex colour scheme modification?

I like a lot the default_ex template, but I find it hard to change its colour scheme.
Could anybody provide me/us a simple how to with the required steps in order to make default_ex better for somebody's site?

Thanks!

- Get and install colorpicker software, like ColorZilla ( www.colorzilla.com/ ) for Firefox.
- Write down your "hated colours"
- Open URL where colours are "lovely"
- Write down your "lovely colours" in right mode. Kunena uses style like "#33ff33"
- Find & Replace in right Kunena CSS-file.
- empty cache and reload !
done.

Thanks for the tips
The problem is though that apart from the obvious colors, we have to create or modify some images, for example:
www.kunena.com/components/com_kunena/tem...ges/cat_title_bg.gif
www.kunena.com/components/com_kunena/tem...at_title_head_bg.gif

So do it.

That's what i was looking for, because i didn't want to reverse engineer the whole thing!
A guide, that says
1. create image xxx.gif
2. create image yyy.gif
etc...
apparently there isn't, so I have to make it

It sounds like you're overcomplicating things a bit though. Look at it this way:

There are two steps to changing the colour scheme: alter colours in the css, and replace any images that don't fit with your colour scheme, with some that do.

There are no css values or images that you have to replace; why not just tinker with it until you are happy?

Obviously changes to layout are a different matter.
