I was looking at something a bit curious - I wanted to change the menus in SharePoint, specifically the colour down the left hand side of the menu:
As the menus are dynamic, I wasn’t able to interrogate them with the IE Dev toolbar to know what styles were being applied. I took a screenshot and tried looking for the colour of the bar in the CSS files. It wasn’t there.
Huh?
Well, I realised that I’d have to trawl through the CSS searching for a likely looking class. I tried Core.css and found nothing. Then I realised it could be in another file, and so I found the ms-MenuUI and ms-MenuUILarge classes in the Menu.css file.
These use images for those bars! Ah! Changing them results in my new background image being used:
Sorted!
