I have a display issue with some form text boxes in a new theme I installed

[portlandstand-up]

I just installed the new theme  B l a c k - R a i n V.2  by C r i p  for my forum which is located at: http://portlandstandup.com/.

Everything is fine with the new theme and my logo is intact. There is one problem though. In some form text boxes for example display name or the email text box under Account Related Settings under member options. Or board display names under the admin area. The background of the text box is yellow and the font color is white. It makes it merely impossible to read what you are filling out unless you Ctrl A to highlight it.

How could I change that color to match the other form text boxes so it is easy for myself and other members to see what they are filling in? Where would I go to find what I need to change.

Crip doesn't have contact info so I can't ask him

I am using 1.1.8
thanks in advance

I am still having this issue and it's been a couple of days with no response. I thought I'd add a screen shot of what I mean. Is there a way to fix this by changing it a different color or to match the other txt boxes?

Hi It can probably be changed through the themes .css

[portlandstand-up]

so do you mean .css that is for that particular theme or do you mean the one for all. And either way, what would I be looking for in .css by chance.

thanks in advance.

Sorry to say I don't know the theme, and I'm terrible with the graphic side of things, but you should be looking at the theme specific css I believe...

Thanks anyways though. maybe someone else will have some insight on the topic

i cant give you a definitive answer to where to change the colour code but if you use a colour picker to find the colour value then search for that colour in your style.css and any css files that come with the theme

you can download and install a colour picker tool http://www.wincatalog.com/getcolor.html

or if you use firefox you can get an addon http://www.colorzilla.com/firefox/

I downloaded the firefox picker and got the color but it wasn't found in any of the docs. If you were going to change that color in the default core where would you, would you again go to the .css file?

according to the firefox .css tool the section in the .css is here

input, textarea, button (line 58)

{

background-color: #333333;

background-image: none;

background-repeat: repeat;

background-attachment: scroll;

background-position: 0% 0%;

border-top-width: 1px;

border-right-width-value: 1px;

border-right-width-ltr-source: physical;

border-right-width-rtl-source: physical;

border-bottom-width: 1px;

border-left-width-value: 1px;

border-left-width-ltr-source: physical;

border-left-width-rtl-source: physical;

border-top-style: solid;

border-right-style-value: solid;

border-bottom-color: #000000;

border-left-color-value: #000000;

border-left-color-ltr-source: physical;

border-left-color-rtl-source: physical;

color: #ffffff;

font-family: verdana,sans-serif;

font-size: 90%;

}

input, button (line 65)

{

font-size: 90%;

}

see anything that might be the issue?

An update:

I had one of my testing members tell me that she didn't see the yellow box but that it was a charcoal gray like all the other txt boxes. So I thought maybe it was just with me because I am an admin and owner of the board. Turns out it has to do with Firefox and the way it sees certain form boxes.  but I'd still like to fix the issue. Though I believe it is out of the realm of what this forum can help with.

Weird.
