Hi,

I'm using a modified Siriux style and want to make the background all black. I have it mostly working but I'm having problems with some of the fields. In many forms, the background and the text of the text fields are both black resulting in the text fields being unreadable.

To see what I mean, go to http://dkzee.com/photos/main.php and click Login. The username and password fields have this problem. I was hoping that these fields would have a class parameter but they don't. I don't really want to add a class parameter to every field in every form.

How can I change the background of these fields to white?

Thanks.
David.

I think it might be a bit easier to install a black color pack. but reading the codex page:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Themes:siriux says the theme is not colorpack compatible.

If that is not the way you want to go you have to edit the css you are using:

you might have to add some classes to the css as well as the html( templates ) to get the form fields the way you want.

Excellent tip Dave, thanks.

I installed Firebug and it pointed to exactly what I needed. I have added the following to my style.css file - it overrides the background color setting for styles already defined in gallery.css (I chose to override so as to keep gallery.css "clean").

Quote:
#giFormUsername, .giFormUsername {
background-color: white;
}

#giFormGroupname {
background-color: white;
}

#giFormPassword {
background-color: white;
}

Thanks very much!
David.
