# Customizing comments.php and CSS

 * I have been tinkering with the comments.php page for a while now, and I’ve figured
   most of it out. I’ve been playing with the CSS as well, and again I’ve figured
   most of it out.
 * What I can’t figure out is which CSS variables affect the comments. I see the
   notation for comments in the style.css, but if I apply a background color, it
   doesn’t appear.
 * Any suggestions?
 * The webpage is:
    [http://greenshadow.com/id](http://greenshadow.com/id) The comments
   page is: [http://greenshadow.com/id/?p=60#comments](http://greenshadow.com/id/?p=60#comments)
   The style.css is: [http://greenshadow.com/id/wp-content/themes/moonchild/style.css](http://greenshadow.com/id/wp-content/themes/moonchild/style.css)
 * (I tried to play around with the stylesheet to get it to look right, so that 
   should explain any superfluous variables.)
