Well I've been working on editing a theme to my liking that I found on some website but unfortunately all of the font, as in the font on the search pages, registration, login, etc., are all black while the forum background itself is dark so unless you really stare at the screen, it's hard to read. I've changed a lot of it but I'm starting to have trouble finding things and it's taking a long time since there's so much to change.

Is there any easy way to get all of the text to turn white?
Not with a simple one-click type thing, but it's definately possible by editing your style.css file.
ACP -> Templates & Style -> *click current theme* -> style.css

Someone else can tell you what to edit. But there's always a way Wink

That's what I thought but I just wasn't sure what to edit in global.css.

Does anyone know?
It depends where you are editing in the theme etc.

Could you give me an example of just one to change?
body {
background: url(http://awesomewallpapers.files.wordpress...900-21.jpg) ;
color: #000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
line-height: 1.4;
}

Right where it says color
I changed that to white but none of the font I wanted to change changed.

Is there something else that could change everything on the index alone?
Well that is for example the background, so like if you want footer text to be white go to footer.. Nothing to hard, just find the thing you want to change. Show a picture of where your wanting to change.
Big Coots,

I took a look at your site. It looks to me like you want to find and change the following parts of global.css:

Quote:#container {
background: url(../../../images/blight/bg.png);
width: 95%;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
margin: auto auto;
padding: 20px;
text-align: left;
}

Quote:table {
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 13px;
}

Quote:.navigation .active {
color: #000000;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: bold;
}

Change the bolded red parts to #FFFFFF and you should be good to go. Let me know if that changes everything you wanted to change.

Thanks, I changed those, hopefully it will work.
It worked, thank you so much!
