Question

Hello. How can I change the background color in the Edit Form when editing a page? Because I run my computer in an inverted color scheme (this box I'm typing in, for example, is grey text on a black background) when I go to edit a page (using the Edit button, not the WYSIWYG), the text is grey, but the background is hardcoded to be white. Is there a way to change this? My Wiki Administrator doesn't wish to research the issue, and to be honest, there appears to be too much documentation for a newbie to comprehend. I don't know whether I should change the WEBBGCOLOR, or a .css file, or a PatternSkinPalette, or what. I don't even really know how to formulate the question in the support forums. Please help.

Thanks, Mike

Answer

For a Web level change: Create a text document (in Word or whatever) of the following:

.patternEditPage textarea#topic {
   background-color:#ffffff;
}

But put in a new code for the color #ffffff (white). Save the document with a .css extension. Then create a new topic (doesn't matter what you call it) and attach your document. Then, edit your WebPreferences and Set USERSTYLEURL=%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/YourTopicName/YourDocumentName.css
