I've got FCKeditor installed, and it's working great. Many thanks to all the developers who made this so easy.I do have one small problem. I'm using the Ability theme, and the editing area in FCKeditor is a kind of medium-dark gray. That makes it rather difficult to see what you're writing. I know that the FCKeditor folks are going to try to develop for a specific theme, and I'm not asking that. What I would like to be able to do is override whatever Ability is doing to the editing area in FCKeditor. Is there some change that I can make to the CSS to get my white editing area back? If so, which CSS file should I change.

Thanks a lot. That's just the information I needed. I can see that I'm not the only one having this problem.

I guess I spoke a little too soon. I tried adding these lines to fckeditor.config.js:

FCKConfig.BodyId = "main";
FCKConfig.BodyClass = "singlepage";
FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = "body{background:#FFFFFF;text-align:left}";

Unfortunately, they had absolutely no effect on the color of the Editor Area. It's still a darkish gray. Any other suggestions?

That's because this theme uses "!important" in style definitions (pretty bad I guess). So you have to do the same, for example:

FCKConfig.BodyId = "main";
FCKConfig.BodyClass = "singlepage";
FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = "body{background:#FFFFFF !important;text-align:left;background-image:none !important}";
