editing articles

Hello there,

No problem with editing really this is more of a "my eyes need help" type of question.

When you do your article and then hit the <> to edit the html I would like to know how to change the color of the font in the editing box.

In the default smf theme it appears nice and readable but in the darker themes (which mostly are my themes) the font is green in color...would like to make it say violet or #ffcc99 so that it can be read on darker themes....my admins usually use the dark themes too and the default is there for members that have trouble with dark themes and eyes...lol

I have tried looking for the place in the tp_style.css but for the life of me I don't see it anywhere in that file. I have attached an image showing the text and how hard it is to see it.

Hopefully someone can tell me where to change the color at.

You can change it by adding something like this to your stylesheet.
#tp_article_body_pure {
    background-color: #CC0000;
}

Of course, change the color code to what you need. It would help to know the versions your using in the future. This is assuming you're using at least TP 1 beta I think.

sorry dear but I did not think the link was needed, it concerned all themes regardless o browser and is merely eye " candy" type of problem

ty, I just noticed my info is partly missing from my siggie.

I think you meant for me to put that into the tp_style.css which I did and it did not work. I also tried putting it into the style.css file and still my text is green and the background stays the same.

i finally just started playing with all the parts...lol I know that sounds awful, but I finally got it to work, unfortunately it also took the backgrond away from the shoutbox input area

I found this code and changed the background color to #888 and removed the gif info and now it can be seen:
textarea {
   font-size: 11pt;
   color: white;
   background: #786E50 url(images/img1.gif) repeat;
   border: soild 1px #000;
   font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
}

thanks for the assist.
