Hello:

How would I change the content area's background color from charcoal gray to white in the black-gold theme?

I'd also like to change the font color from gray to black. How would I do that?

Thank you.

best way to check css changes you want to make is with dev tools for your browser of preference... best set is firefox with firebug... lets you inspect any element and see what css is driving it...

and a picture might make sure we understand exactly what you want to change...

but content area background, if I understand you, is controlled by:

#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection.spOdd .spPostSection {

in your sp theme css file...

of course, for even numbered posts it wold .spEven instead of .spOdd

Thanks for your quick response Mr. Papa.

I've included a screen shot with this reply. I'd like to change the background color inside the blue border from charcoal to white, and make the text black. I'd like this style only for expanded topics. Otherwise, I like the colors "as-is." 

I hope this helps. Thank you.surprised

Thanks for the info Mr. Papa. I've been caught up in other tasks, so I haven't been able to respond. So, I did find the section of the CSS where it says

#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection.spOdd .spPostSection {

I want to change the background color to white. What code would I type?

Also, what code would I type to add black text?

Thanks.

The white background is there, but the font is grey, not black. I put in the code like you suggested above. What's causing this?
