textarea + background

I'm actually interested in this too. I just gave up when I was trying but I'm sure there is a simple way...

I need this too. If you use the editor to facilitate creating posts on a web site with a black or gray background, you need the editor's background to match the background color of the web site. Someone please explain how the background color of the editing textarea can be adjusted. Thank you.

Hi alfonsoml,

Thanks for your quick help. This is a MediaWiki site and I'm using the FCKEditor MediaWiki plug-in.

The documentation you pointed to makes sense. I found the specified file, fck_editorarea.css, and changed the definition for body{}.

I saved the change, went back to the site, pulled up the editor from within a page -- and -- the background of the editor was still white. I then did a force reload -- and the editor background remained white.

///EDIT 6:48pm///

It turned out I had to
(a) directly edit \extensions\FCKeditor\css\fckeditor.css

(b) I saw my changes most immediately by using FireFox and closing FireFox and reopening it to see each of my changes.


Thanks,
EricTN

More than 300 of my users participate in editing their club pages using FCKeditor, but they do not have access to the code. They want to create their unique pages having background colors or images. They do not have access to the CSS code.

Page and table background colors and images should be made as easy as changing the font colors and background. This is currently done using an earlier version of FCKeditor. Can someone please assist me in re-establishing this capability?

The same is applicable to the Horizontal Rule. My earlier FCKeditor allowed users to add a Horizontal Rule, modify it using the handles, then setting the color using the font color tool.

Thanks
