To fix that revert the templates and reenter your style changes in the vbgooglemap_display_map

using the available css

<style type="text/css" id="gamerinfo-css">
<!--

.gmballoon
{
	background: #ffffff;
	color: #000000;
	font: 10pt Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.gmtext{
	font-size:8pt;
	width:auto;
 	color:#000000;
	font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	display:block;

}
-->
</style>

Hello Stonyarc,

I have been changing the colors in the above mentioned area of the template....

Changed the .gmtext color to red and that works great.

but in the .gmballoon, I have been having troubles. changing the background around the text works fine, but when I change the second part ( I assume this is the text color) "color:#000000;" to red, nothing happens. When I mouse over, it changes to the color from vb, but no matter what I set this to, it stays white.

Also, I don't see a way to change the background for the .gmtext part....
I added "background: #ffffff;" into the .gmtext area, but it only changed the area immediately around the text. there is still a black square inside the balloon. I am sorry if I am such a moron and I have again run out of talent.....

here is how the template is now set on My Map

my changes are highlighted in green

<!--

.gmballoon
{
background: #ffffff;
color: #FF0000;
font: 10pt Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.gmtext
{
background: #ffffff;
font-size:8pt;
width:auto;
color:#FF0000;
font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
word-wrap: break-word;
display:block;

}
