in vbcms.css find:

PHP Code:

div.article_preview {
    text-decoration:none;
    line-height:normal;
    margin-bottom:4px;
    padding:0; 


change to:

PHP Code:

}
div.article_preview {
    text-decoration:none;
    line-height:normal;
    margin-bottom:4px;
    padding:0;
    background: #FFFFFF; 


change the background coding to whatever color you want.

also just a heads up to change the padding for the CMS Primary Content in vbcms.css I changed:

PHP Code:

}

div.article_preview {
    padding:4px 4px 0 0;
    float: {vb:stylevar left};
    width: 100%; 


to:

PHP Code:

}

div.article_preview {
    padding:4px 4px 4px 4px;
    float: {vb:stylevar left};
    width: 100%; 


this pushed the text over 4 pixels and gave a nice 4 pixel margin all the way around.

Again for the expanded(full) article in vbcms.css:

for padding change:

PHP Code:

.article {
    padding:0;
    overflow: hidden; 


to:

PHP Code:

.article {
    padding:4px 4px 4px 4px;
    overflow: hidden; 


and for background color, change:

PHP Code:

.article {
    font: {vb:stylevar vbcms_article_font};
    color: {vb:stylevar body_color}; 


to:

PHP Code:

.article {
    font: {vb:stylevar vbcms_article_font};
    color: {vb:stylevar body_color};        
        background:  #FFFFFF 


once again go to the vbcms.css for the comments section background color

change:

PHP Code:

.cms_comments_page {
    width:100%;
    text-align:{vb:stylevar left};
        margin-top:{vb:stylevar padding};
    clear:both; 


to:

PHP Code:

.cms_comments_page {
    width:100%;
    text-align:{vb:stylevar left};
        margin-top:{vb:stylevar padding};
    clear:both;
        background:  #FFFFFF; 


I used white as my backgrounds, you can rewrite the code to whatever color you want.

Hopefully this helps some people out because I'm pretty novice but HAD to figure this out for my forum to function the way I wanted it to.

this covers article preview and also covers the full article look as well.
