Most of the changes you want are in the CSS file in your templates folder.
or some can be made in the admin panel under styles admin/ management/ then edit your style.

If you decide to change the css file remember to make a back up.
same with the admin panel print the page out before changing anything.

In the templates folder open the folder for your skin look for a file that has the same name as your skin followed by css so would be yourskin.css copy down to your computer make a copy then open , the info is in there.
