Hi,
I've been reading the customization guide, googling (is that even a word?), and searching this site and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.
I have all of my text set in the colors that I want, except for the comments that people leave. They show up as black on a black background, meaning they don't show up.

example: http://robeaton.smugmug.com/People/Bel-Vino/11369329_qgZmC

I would like to make the text in the comments box show up white. I have tried multiple variations of code, using the Firefox Web Developer Tool, and can't seem to key in on the right thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

RobYou have lots of text that is messed up (breadcrumbs, page navigation, gallery titles, comments). The best way to attack this is to first change the default colors for you page to work with a white background. You can do that by going to your site-wide-customization and picking a white background as the default (this will give you black text as a default).

If you've set a default theme, you should also pick a theme that has a white background with dark text.

Alright, I changed the default theme to the old black and white. I also changed the text to pretty much all black and did away with the black box backgrounds. I think it's fixed up. Thanks for your help!

I tried this and it didn't work for me. I want to put a white background but a lot of the text stays white even if I just the setting to Light. Is there a way for me to change the text color manually? In my Guestbook page I want to change all that is white to a medium grey and change the background to white.
