Ok, so, first and foremost - I'm not seeking to make my own template, please do not suggest this. It will actually irritate me if you do, as, that's not what I am seeking here.

Alright, so for the templates that RPR has, I really enjoy the 'Spaaaaace' one. I believe it's an epic user template/theme/whatever.

My only issue with it so far, and it's a large enough issue to where I won't bother using the theme I love so much...is that it grey's out EVERY SINGLE IMAGE. And I find that super freaking irritating...

Sometimes, I use font art designed from websites as banners or such to separate sections of information. And...as they are an image file, they'd be grey'd out/monochrome. I want to be able to match the theme in some aesthetic way, however, I cannot do this if they fade to monochrome.

I PM'd the listed user/artist of this template, and received no answer. I'm either taking that as a 'No' or they have been busy and have not read it.

I was wondering if there is some bit of CSS coding I could put in the "make your own template" section that would cancel this effect out, but would allow me to still use that template.

Everything else about it (thusfar), I adore.

I'm not meaning to take a dump all over the artist's hard work and coding. I'm positive a lot of work went into it. It's just, that part of it is not for me and I wish there was either another version of the template without that specific effect, or a way to turn it off or such...

If anyone knows, can you please please help?

Hi! In order to make additions to a template, you have to copy and paste the code into your own Epic template due to the way Epic templates work. This is fine with free RPR templates that require no Epicness, but as this is a user created template, they are the copyright holder. You'll need their explicit permission before you make any CSS edits to their work/copy and reuse it in its own template, otherwise you're breaking the site rules.

I recommend getting in touch with them again and asking permission to change it yourself. If you receive no answer or no permission, then you'll have to use the template as-is or create your own from scratch/commission someone to create you something new that fits your criteria.
