No problem. Just in case you ask later. I'm using Google Chrome. I'm not sure if that has something to do with that.

It does the same in Firefox. So it's really something i need to fix. I probably switched up #000000 and #FFFFFF somewhere. I always mix those two up rofl

If you're using someone else's theme as a base, you should leave their name in the credits. It's just common courtesy. Now, if you're able to recreate your modified theme from scratch (MyBB Default theme) without copying and pasting the code, you can put just your own copyright.

That's what I would do, anyways. However I always start from scratch to avoid potential issues as such. PM Justin though, never a bad move.
