    Hi Guys

    I am a bit confused as to how to set the default colour of text in my posts.

    I have a black theme and want white text, but when I come to compose a new post I cannot choose white as I cannot see it in the compose window.

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to alter this anomaly or is it just me being totally stupid ??

    Thanks for any help.

    Peter

  • Assuming that you are using a theme that has a black background and white text, the contents of your post will automatically be in white, without you specifically changing it from the post edit controls.

    These settings are specified in the theme files (specifically, in the CSS file).

    Try publishing a post without changing the text color and see what happens ??

    Hi Tankianann

    Thank you for this, the posts show up at present as a light grey and not white, I think white looks so much better on a black theme.

    So I take it I need to edit the text colour in the CSS file (yikes) ??

    Heh, yes.

    Whats your site address?

    Hmm.. from what I see on the home page,

    ** I need your help ** – is gray (#f5eded), probably because you selected the font colors.

    But the contents of the other posts are white!

    If you want all the posts content to take the same color as ** I need your help **, try this in your theme CSS file.

    Change Line 13:
    body { margin:0; padding:0; background:url(img/back1.gif);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px; color:#ffffff; text-align:center; }

    To:
    body { margin:0; padding:0; background:url(img/back1.gif);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px; color:#f5eded; text-align:center; }

    Great! ??
