I must be missing something subtle here (or yes, I could be doing something incredibly stupid!). I've picked up a lot of help from this forum, but I'm still missing a few color-related things. Can you help with the following questions, all related to trying to change my background color to white?

My problem gallery can be seen at http://denise.smugmug.com

On my home page, the headings and text in the boxes (Featured galleries, gallery categories, smugmug text just before the smugmug logo), updated timestamp remain white. And the description of the galleries is shown in light gray. Pages linked to from sub-categories also show the same problem. (example is here: http://denise.smugmug.com/Travel/234195). There are obviously some tags that I am missing in the css section. But what are they?
How do I set the background color for slideshows. That currently is still set as black, and I want to switch it to white.Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

After installing Firefox and the web developer extension as recommended on http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1354921, I am much closer to what I want to see.

There are still a couple of problem areas for which I'd really appreciate some help:

On my home page (http://denise.smugmug.com), I haven't been able to successfully change the color of the gallery description (text and the # of galleries and photos) or the updated time/date stamp.
On the slideshow page, I haven't yet figured out how to change the background to white.Any ideas?

Try this:
.albumTitle .nav {color: #3366CC !important;}
.description {color: #3366CC !important;}
.updated {color: #3366CC !important;}

You may or may not need the "!important" try it without first.

Slideshow background:
#fsSlideshow {background-color: white;}

Thanks Rich.

I did need the !important on those...

I have two more strange things that I haven't been able to figure out. One is that the toolbar on my home page (the one that says home | login | help | search) has a dark gray background. On other pages it's white, which is how I'd like to it be on my home page too. I haven't been able to identify the code that controls that.

And on my homepage, the smugmug "grin" is preceded by the word smugmug in white displayed on a white background, yet on the other pages smugmug is black. I suppose I could just remove it, but I'd like to understand how to fix it.

Any more ideas (based on your previous answer, I suspect you know how to address these too...)?

A little closer...

Now I have 3 problems, but I believe that all three are the same problem because they are related to images provided by smugmug - the smugmug text followed by logo, the search icon (magnifying glass), and the cart icon. All are showing as white, which on my background of white doesn't show up.

Very funny that these icons are black on any page but the home page...

I'll keep diving, but I suspect I'll need a hint on these.
Thanks again.
