How to edit link menu and borders

[difference_engine]

Hey all...I am quite the novice when it comes to PHPNuke, but I have tried monkeying around with it as much as I could and still can't get it to do what I am wanting.  It seems that there is a wealth of information regarding PHPNuke, but it is quite overwhelming to find answers to these issues I have currently.  With that being the case, I was hoping that I might be able to get some help from those who might know better than myself.  I have a total of three questions that I would like to ask...so any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

1) How do you edit Links Menu? - It seems that each PHPNuke theme has a standard fare links menu that is located on the upper left hand side of the page (under the banner location).  If I wanted to change or delete some of those links, how or where would be the fastest and easiest place to do it?

 

2) Block border colors - Hopefully, my terminology in using blocks is right here.  Each of the segmented areas (such as the links menu I mentioned above) in the PHPNuke theme has a border around it.  In the case of the "smartDark" theme, it is a thin light grey border that surrounds each of the blocks.  Where would be the appropriate spot to edit that border color?  I have looked all through "style.css" and it doesn't appear that any modification that I make will change the color of those borders.  I was, however, successful in changing to the color of the "bodyline" around the outside portion of the page.

 

3) Editing/creating banners - Is there a tool and/or recommended software for creating banners for a PHPNuke site?  I was using Photoshop to generate a banner, but for some reason whenever I create an image...it is dwarved when I load it into the spot for the banner.  This seems to be the case no matter how large I make the banner.  Obviously, I am butchering something, but I am not sure about what I am doing wrong...or how I should correct the issue.  Any suggestions on this would be gladly accepted.

 

Again, sorry to ask what are probably very basic questions.  I have looked through volumes of information and just can't quite seem to find what I am after.  Thanks in advance for the help!
