 * The main issue is the text color of any forum plugin I used and tried so far.
   It’s to light on a light background.
 * I’ve tried all I can to change either the text color or the background color,
   but it just doesn’t work at all.
 * I’ve installed a WPBB to show what’s I mean. See: [http://veelkantie.nl/uwgratisblog/forums/](http://veelkantie.nl/uwgratisblog/forums/)
   But it goes for all forum plugins i’ve tried. Either on the indexpage of the 
   forum or in the reply section.
 * So what’s the secret? How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance 😉

 * Hi Nishant, thanks for the reply.
 * If I install a forum plugin (I tried most of them, like WPBB, Mingle Forum, etc.)
   some text is white on a white background. In all forums when you want to reply
   to a post the text you type in the reply box is white on a white background, 
   so you can’t read it. Only if you select the text.
 * I’ve tried to change the text or the background color of the forums but it doesn’t
   work. The stylesheet seems so dominant that it overrides all other CSS or ajustments.

 * Hi Veelkantie,
 * Thanks for explain your issue.
 * But we have only one way that is we will have to change the background color.
 * So, for this please try one more time CSS in the following manner..
 *     ```
       input[type="text"],textarea{
       background: url("images/search-bg.png") repeat !important;
       border: 1px solid #BEBCB9 !important;
       color:#fff !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Please add the given CSS (above) in theme style.css file.
 * Hope it would be helpful to you.
 * And please let me know about this.
 * Best!

 * Great, that seems to work! Have to test it with a proper forum lay-out, but I
   think this is the solution!
 * I’m very happy now 😉
 * Can I ask you one more question? Or do I need to open a new topic?
 * The question is: I can’t set a static page for the website to open with. Do you
   know why and can I change that?

 * Hi Veelkantie,
 * If you want to display static page instead of default gallery page.
 * Please follows the given instructions below..
 * 1. Find the “front-page.php” file inside “analytical” theme folder.
    2. Now, 
   just rename the file name with “_front-page.php” this name.
 * That’s it.
 * Hope it would be helpful to you.
 * Please let me know.
 * Best!

 * No! Do not edit the theme itself. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
