With certain themes (as with marinelli), the editor area adopts the bacground from the website, with images and all. It also applies in the style menu in the editor. Dont know if this is a bug in the theme or in the fck editor, but its either way very annoying:D

On a second thought this might not be a bug, but how do I then change the background of the editor window?

I have the same issue. I would prefer it to be say white, but somehow the style.css is leaking into the window for some reason, a tag that is open? I haven't really looked at it much yet, but I was trying to find a fix first. It seems that it is theme related. I have changed my profile theme so I can see it differently and not affect the site theme. It seems to follow the theme than anything else. Garland gives me a light blue (I have changed the default color with the color module) and wabi gives me a dark header on blue.

I've found the problem...or solution

Go to, admin/settings/fckeditor/edit/Advanced and that should be the advanced profile, so you know, fill in the right profile, or go to admin/settings/fckeditor/edit/ and select edit on a profile...

You'll see the CSS section with the drop down dhtml, editor css drop down menu should be there. I selected FCKEditor default. That was it. I switched back to the theme that I thought was creating the problem, and nice, white background for easy editing. Hope you find this solution too to help.

FCKeditor appears to take the background colour from the body definition in style.css, rather than the [ #wrapper #container #center #squeeze ] definition squeeze being where editable content is displayed so would make more sense to use this background colour in the editor window. As a workaround I copied the style.css to fckeditor.css in the theme folder and changed the body background colour to match the squeeze background colour. This way everything in your editor window (headings etc as selected from the format drop-down) should look exactly as it will appear on the page.
