edit content page background

I imagine this has been answered before but I can’t find it, soz.

How do I separate the text/content edit box’s background colour from the main sites background colour?

The box I type text into on the edit content page uses the same colour as the one I set as sites main background colour.

I’ve changed the sites background to dark blue but this makes the text difficult to see in the edit section (as I add content).

Thanks

Also when I first install CMS Simple I put it in a folder cmssimple/  (http://www.harrogatepool.co.uk/cmssimple/)

I want to move it into the main folder so the ULR is http://www.harrogatepool.co.uk
Is there anything else I need to change (database, etc) or can I just move it.

Thanks again  ;D

I'm looking for an answer to the first question myself.

As for the second question, you also need to edit your config.php file to update your directory structure; for example, a line like:

Code: Select all

$config['root_path'] = '/var/www/virtual/sitename.co.uk/htdocs/cmssimple';
Would have to be changed to:

Code: Select all

$config['root_path'] = '/var/www/virtual/sitename.co.uk/htdocs';

I think the question was more like: is there a way to stop TinyMCE from using your site's stylesheet? It's sometimes really irritating to have the content formatted the same way it would be on the site. Other CMSs (like Wordpress) use a default stylesheet which makes it a lot easier to focus on what you're writing.

In the Settings Tab of the TinyMCE Module Admin screen, change the:

Body tag CSS

field from "default" to "background-color:white;"

But all of the fonts, etc, are still pulled in from the site stylesheet. Is there a way that TinyMCE can use a default stylesheet and not the site stylesheet (like Wordpress does)? So that we can concentrate on the content and not the style.
