  • if you post a live link to your site showing the ‘grey text’ then finding this css might be easy – using firefox web developer add-on or firebug.

    looking at an image, you have to hope that someone with the same theme activated will see your question and will be able to anwer it.

    general:
    if you lool into the html code of your site in your browser (‘View Souce’ or ‘ctrl u’), you should be able to find the spot with the grey text – then look just before it where it should say something with class="??????"

    note the ?????? and then search style.css for .??????

    (could be something like .postmeta or similar)

    theres a link to the live page, in the meantime im going to check out your suggestions!

    It’s here:
    #comment-wrapper {
    background: url(http://theskeletonbandit.com/wp/wp-content/themes/foreboding/images/postbg.png) repeat;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 9px 9px;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 9px 9px;
    border-left: ;
    border-top: 1px solid #861316;
    border-top-left-radius: 9px 9px;
    border-top-right-radius: 9px 9px;
    color: #CCC;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    Change the color: #CCC
    to what ever color you want black would be #000;

    If you don’t have the developer FF tool bar, you can use Google Chrome browser to check the styles,
    just right click on the element and chose ‘inspect element’.

    the color is defined in style.css of ‘ComicPress ForeBoding’ (the child theme), in:

    .post-content, #comment-wrapper {
    	color: #ccc;
    	background: url('images/postbg.png') repeat;
    	border-left: solid 1px #861316;
    	border-top: solid 1px #861316;
    	-moz-border-radius: 9px;
    	-khtml-border-radius: 9px;
    	-webkit-border-radius: 9px;
    	border-radius: 9px;
    	padding: 5px;
    }

    however, the css class of the surrounding element for these lines is:
    .post-info
    and you could add a new style setting the font color just for this class
