change content background in TinyMCE

Does anybody out there know how to change the background for the content box in TinyMCE? It displays the page background, which certainly isn't ideal. I have a couple of page designs; one uses black as page background, with a white content table, the other has a repeated background. What I'd like to do is just hardwire TinyMCE to show a white background no matter what the template has. This has to be a simple change somewhere, but where?

Go into the options for TinyMCE (under modules in 0.9.2, or extensions->tinymce in 0.10beta4). There is an option to strip background colors from the css. That should do it...

Hi Wishy,
Yeah! You guys are way ahead of me. I should have found that myself. Only problem is that, while that works fine for background colors, it doesn't work for background images. Any way to handle that?

I just committed this change to svn.
Open up stylesheet.php. At the very bottom, you'll see:
Code: Select all
$css = preg_replace('/(\w*?background-color.*?\:\w*?).*?(;.*?)/', '\\1transparent\\2', $css);
Right below that, add:
Code: Select all
$css = preg_replace('/(\w*?background-image.*?\:\w*?).*?(;.*?)/', '', $css);

I tried this solution (setting to true and adding the code as suggested) and my background image is still showing.
Any idea why it is not working?
Thanks

It probably means that the background image is set in the body tag, which isn't quite as easy to handle. Might want to move that definition into a stylesheet to make it a little more flexible for you.

Well, I have the same problem when I have used the following CSS in the body selector in the attached stylesheet:
Is the current solution only replacing background-image and background-color, but not an image inserted like above?
Would also be great to remove text-align from the body selector the same way, as I always have text-align: center in the body selector (to center a fixed width page in older browsers that don't recognize margin: auto). That means that all my content in TinyMCE is also center-aligned, which makes it a bit difficult to edit...
