Now click on the Edit link located in the middle right hand side corner.
Now find the following line in your CSS content and edit the text marked in blue with the URL of the gradient's you wish to change these main bars to:
Quote:
.titlemedium { font-weight:bold; color:#3A4F6C; padding:7px; margin:0px; background-image: url(style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/tile_sub.gif) }
.titlemedium* a:link, .titlemedium* a:visited, .titlemedium* a:active* { text-decoration: underline; color: #3A4F6C }
.maintitle { vertical-align:middle;font-weight:bold; color:#FFF; padding:8px 0px 8px 5px; background-image: url(style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/tile_back.gif) }
.maintitle a:link, .maintitle* a:visited, .maintitle* a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #FFF }
.maintitle a:hover { text-decoration: underline }
The .maintitle is the first blue bar you see on the default skin.
The .titlemeduim is the second blue bar you see on the default skin (it's a bit lighter then the first one - .maintitle).
By editing the text marked in blue you can change these images (called gradients) to suit your needs,
once you've edited the URL click on the link at the bottom of the page entitled Edit stylesheet and your new gradient's should be up
