Are you familiar with the Firefox Web Developer extension?  That's an 
easy way to start determining which files contain the style information 
you'd like to change.

Identify pieces by viewing style information (CTRL+SHIFT+Y), then use 
the Edit CSS tool (CTRL+SHIFT+E) where you can make modifications on the 
fly and immediately see the changes, then save the files and put them in 
place.


But, you won't find all of the style information in the .css files 
(unless this has changed from my 1.1.5 install).  The following makes it 
look like you'll find quite a bit in various places.  In as many as 42 
different files?

$ grep -l -r style /openils/var/web/opac/skin/default/* |wc -l
42

However, if you're just looking to replace that pale green background, 
use this to track it down:

$ grep -l -r E0F6E0 /openils/var/web/opac/*


Happy hunting!
