  I had noticed a question for which responses are now closed that asked about changing the color of the notepad part of the Notepad theme. If anyone else is interested, here’s how I did it with the CSS updgrade.

  Use the links and information provided in the 4th response here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-notepad-theme-colors-custom-css?replies=5

  You will also need to use the footer image:
  http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/notepad/img/footer.png

  Save the three images (header, footer, wrapper) and change the colors. I used MS Paint (it helps to view the image at 400% or 800%).

  Save the images to your blog, then replace the xxx in the parentheses here with the URLs of the new images:

  #header {
  background:url(‘xxx’) no-repeat center bottom;
  }

  #wrapper {
  background:url(‘xxx’) center 5px;
  }

  #footer {
  background:url(‘xxx’) no-repeat center top;
  }

  You can use CSS to change the other font colors to match. Wallah! This is how mine looks:
