Guys is it possible to change the background color?

Yes, in the Style Vars change editor_background. But be aware that it changes other bits of the site too.

I've purchased a skin called Black Neon but I'm getting no support what so ever for the skin..

Does anyone know how to change the background of the shoutbox to match the forum? or the text colour?

Maybe you're getting no support because you don't read what's right in front of you, i.e. the post right before yours.

No support regarding my theme I purchased not the shoutbox.. I didn't get chance to read that because I had to go to work and I just posted the question straight away and never read anything.. Thanks for pointing that out though.

That's not uncommon. People create styles to work with default vb, and have no idea themselves how to make them work with all the different modifications. Sometimes including updates to vb itself.

Is there any way of changing the text on the shoutbox?

how to get animated smileys displayed in the vsa chatbox? only smileys with png extension show up, but not gif?

I love the chat box, only issue I have is:

I have a dark background, the chatbox works fine but when I type the text in the textarea, by default, the text is black and I can't see what I'm typing until I hit enter. Once I hit enter the text is there and white by default which is fine

Hard to know if your typing something wrong.

Where might I find that font setting..exactly?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Almost all the text appearing anywhere in vbulletin can be changed in Phrases.
