Editing site with black background

Hi all,

I've recently published the new version of the official Black Lightning site (http://www.blacklightning.it/), it's fully implemented with CMS, I'm actually quite proud of it and I wanted to share my compliments with all of you ;)

I also have a little question: as you can see on the site, I employ a black background for my site. All is working smoothly as the CSS sets text to white color. The problems are in the admin pages: the present a white editbox, and the text is all white, so it's completely un-editable! I'm capable to edit the text from the "source" button, but that's not the best option.. so the question would be: is it possible to configure the edit box to have a dark background instead of the white default background?  ???

Thanks again to everybody in this community for building this wonderful tool!  ;D

If you are using FCK Editor, you should be able to go in under modules and edit how it works.  There is a line there to set the default background color.

I had a similar situation on one of my sites. What I did was..

In the FCKeditor Settings tab - there is a "Body tag CSS" area. I used the same colors as the site and changed the entry there to:

text-align: left; background-color: #34425d; color: #ffffcc;

That did the trick for me.

Thank you: pretty straightforward, but I admit that's exactly what I was searching for!  ;D
