Default Content entry background adjustment / color?

I hope I am adding value to the forum, and not becoming annoying with all my style var questions... I think I am nearly done, so thats good news.

One last thing I can not figure out for the life of me is how to adjust the setting/color for the "content-entry" area of the forum. I would prefer to leave it as is, but the options that control the text in this section control other text on the site. The users asked for a dark background so I need a lighter text. So the text color in the content entry area "reply /quick reply" area of a post/thread is very similar to the color of the background.

my guess is "Content Entry Panel Background" under StylVar>content-entry>content entry panel background , would control this feature... however as you can see (www.RideorRot.com) it is still come up as an off white / yellowish color. I have the above mentioned var set (as a test) to hot pink. It is not that color anywhere I can find in the forum let alone the area I believe it should be controlling.

Is there something causing a problem from this working, or is there no style var for this option. How do I resolve so that this area is easy to read and use for the page members?

I think you need to add your changes to the bottom of the template css_editor.css

HTML Code:
body { background-color: black;
  color: red;
}

I tired your edit... and it worked great... only now the place holder "write something here" dissappears right after the page loads. I tried moving the edit to above the placeholder in the template edit, but that didn't help. I also tried a few ways to modify the place holder text color in this screen which did not work. That it less of an issue though.

any ideas on what is causing the "write something here" to dissiappear?

It looks like the background is normally set to "none" and that allows the text to show up. If you play with the z-index of it, then it shows up but it stays. So, it looks like setting the background the way I set it isn't the way to do it if you want that other text to show up.

Try using class .beditor and adding it to the end of the css_b_editor.css template.

HTML Code:
.b-editor {
	background: black;
  color: red;
}
.b-editor__placeholder {color: red !important;}
I would strongly recommend learning to use firebug or a web developer tool to look at your CSS and figure some of this out yourself if you are going to get into styling.

Oddly enought, even with your first code fix... the "write somethig here" text still shows up (in the orginal default green color) and stays on the screen till typing, on the ipad.

Ill try that Lynne, thanks so much for being helpful and answering questions. I feel kind of bad, like I am filling up the forum with questions... maybe everyone does this in the beginning. I hope that these will help others in the future, which is why I try to follow up my post with answers when I figure it out for myself as well. Its a pet peeve of mine when searching on how to do something, you find someone else asked the questions and then follow with just "never mind, I figured it out"... Im like come on, help a brother out... how did you do it. ha ah.
