color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the prompt reply, but I don't think I was being
clear. I'm not worried about the colour for the overall site or the main
content area: I've got those set the way I like and am quite happy with them.
I'm referring to the background colour of a couple of very specific boxes that
can be called on the site: Mediawiki would call them "templates" but
I'm not sure what the phrase is for FBWiki. Because I'm an idiot, I did look
through the CSS file and even did a find for the background colours to see if
they were in there, but they're not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This is my first day using PmWiki, I have absolutely no idea
what<br>
terminology to use here and will thus sound like a moron. Please bear<br>
with me.<br>
<br>
I've set up a wiki for my game's website and done up a semi-custom skin<br>
for it. It works great, except that it's a dark theme with white text on<br>
a black background. There are a few fields where the background has been<br>
set to a light colour and therefore the text doesn't show up at all.<br>
<br>
An example of what I mean can be found at<br>
<a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BasicEditing" target="_blank">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BasicEditing</a>
- that yellow box and<br>
that list of additional pages in the upper-right hand corner. The<br>
background colours are the same on my site but the font colour is white,<br>
making everything illegible. The same thing happens to the box<br>
containing the editing tips on the edit page: it's white text on a white<br>
background.<br>
<br>
I need to edit these background colours, but I can't find where. It<br>
doesn't seem to be in the skin I borrowed's CSS file, and I can't find<br>
any wiki page to edit. It's no doubt something heartstoppingly stupid<br>
that I'm missing, but any help would be appreciated.<br>
