Changeing Comments Form background

Hi Andrew, thanks for the quick response!

Anything other than the colour that is there preferably something like #000000 to give better contrast against the text.

Any tips?

Hi, under Appearance i can see “Editor” and it has the twenty eleven theme selected in a drop down menu and I can see 4 CSS files:

style.css
editor-style-rtl.css
editor-style.css
rtl.css

Also on my FTP in the theme folder there is a file themes/twentyeleven/colors/dark.css

I have tried to find something in all 4 of these files but can’t see anything obvious. It would be great if you or someone else knows which part of the CSS needs to be changed?

Thanks

Andrew, that has worked great but seems to have changed the background of the whole area not just the textarea, is there a way to modify just the textarea? See the link http://d4rkcell.com/archives/1249#respond

Thanks for your help so far!

That doesn’t seem to work, it goes back to being the grey colour which i think is #222222.

I tried

body.textarea{background: black;}
and
body textarea{background: black;}
and
body #textarea{background: black;}
and
body #respond textarea{background: black;}

none of them seemed to work. Any other ideas?

Still not working, its as if the CSS is ignoring the textarea element.

also tried (without any luck):
#respond form textarea{background:black;}

frustrating!

This has me really puzzled because

body #respond textarea#comment {
    height:30px;
}

makes my comment box smaller but adding background:black or background-color:black doesn’t make a difference. Scrathing my head a little now.

So the last thing i tried in custom CSS Manager is

body #respond textarea#comment {
	height:30px;
  	background:black !important;
}

will keep trying new things but starting to think this isn’t possible.
