some issues with CiviCRM

I have the same issue. It seems that (like Views did) CiviCRM defines background colours, and not foreground colours, thereby causing issues where you have light text. I am currently working through fixing this up in our site, so I can post the changes needed once I have them confirmed also.

This would be nice to have fixed in a future version!

Here is the code that I have placed in my local.css file to theme all that I have found in CiviCRM. Please note, however that since the colour scheme on my site is different from the standard of Acquia Slate, the colours I have specified will not match a standard Slate install. However I am posting this here, as it will be a good starting point for someone to correct the colours so that this could possibly be included in a future version.

I recommend updating to the latest release of the theme as well as CiviCRM and see if the issue still occurs. Closing this issue now due to no activity.
