I assume you mean the members’ theme?

BuddyPress use two theme files. Here are the paths to the default theme directories:
```
Home theme: found in /wp-content/themes/bphome/



Member theme: found in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/
```
All the files you need to work with are found in those directories.

yairnazz-

You need to learn CSS and basic WordPress theming skills. Below you will find a few links to get you started.

Also, since your issue has nothing to do with the proper functioning of BuddyPress, I’m changing the topic indicator to “not a support question”.
1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout#Themes_and_Templates
2. http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp

4. You should use Firefox with the Firebug Add-on. It is a great tool that not only allows you to find out within which files certain CSS selectors are located, but also to temporarily change them and see what impact they have on the design.
