Question The 5 minute quick and dirty Kunena 1.6 template

The 5 minute quick and dirty Kunena 1.6 template was created by severdia
Now that Kunena 1.6 is in beta and rapidly approaching final form, I'd like to give you a demonstration of how easy it is to customize it. In fact, with our new template structure, you can customize the template to match your site in just a few minutes.
Most websites have a color palette of 2 or 3 colors and Kunena is the same. The third color for Kunena is grey, which goes anything so we're going to leave that color mostly as-is. Below is a snippet of CSS code. Replace the #XXXXXX color with the primary hex color of your site. Then replace #YYYYYY with the secondary hex color of your site. Paste this code at the bottom of your template.css file (in your Joomla templates folder). This will override Kunena's existing colors with your colors.
I left the comments in there so you can see what you're changing, but if you're a more experienced CSS user, you can combine the styles to be more efficient.
This is a great way to instantly customize your Kunena template to match your Joomla template. It's also upgrade-proof so when you update Kunena, all your customizations will remain untouched. Enjoy!

}
/* Change the header background colors */
#Kunena .kblock div.kheader {

}
/* Change the header text colors */
#Kunena .kblock div.kheader h2 a:link,
#Kunena .kblock div.kheader h2 a:visited,
#Kunena .kblock div.kheader h2 a:active {
color: #fff !important;
}
/* Change the tab colors */
div#ktab ul.menu li a {
background-color: #XXXXXX !important;
}
/* Change the active tab & rollover colors */
div#ktab li#current a {
background-color: #YYYYYY !important;
}
div#ktab ul.menu li a:hover {
background-color: #YYYYYY !important;
}
/* Change the border color under the top nav */
#Kunena #ktop {
border-color: #YYYYYY;
}
/* Change the pagination color */
#Kunena .kpagination .active {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #XXXXXX;
border:1px solid #YYYYYY;
}
#Kunena .kpagination a {
border:1px solid #YYYYYY;
}
#Kunena .kpagination a:hover {
border:1px solid #YYYYYY ;
color: #fff !important;
background: #XXXXXX;
}
/* Change the post link color */
#Kunena div.kmsg-header h2 a {
color: #fff !important;
}
/* Change the toggler color */
#Kunena #ktop span.ktoggler {
background-color:#XXXXXX;
}
/* Change the button rollover color */
#Kunena .kbutton:hover, #Kunena .kbutton:focus {
background-color: #XXXXXX;
border-color: #YYYYYY;
}

Yes, those buttons are images so they won't change color. Only the form buttons will change color.
To change the color of those, you need to create a new image for the backgrounds. The image is located here:

Yes, I have a purple-black site and is dificult to me find templates that matches "out of box". With the time I had more or less problems editing templates, until now. If you kown a little of CSS, you can edit this kunena 1.6 templates very easy. Is a strong point of this new version
