And finally for now, edit to add:
I think I figured out how the background changes in the username input box....
register.css
Code:
input.greenbox {
background:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tick.png) {vb:stylevar right} center no-repeat;
}
input.redbox {
background:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/cross.png) {vb:stylevar right} center no-repeat;
}
The icon is overwriting the backgrouncd css for the input box. And the transparency of the icon png bleeds into the background.
Let me check my regular registration page to see if that has been happening. Bet it has been happening too, kinda think I didnt test it like I thought.
