I've changed the colors in Austere using the color picker to a custom palette, and installed WYSIWYG and TinyMCE for text/html editing. The background of the edit field is showing a pink color, which I've come to recognize as Austere defaults not being overridden.

So, I found some code here http://drupal.org/node/98037

and pasted this into style.css

body.mceContentBody {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
text-align: left;
}

which worked, but is there a better way? I don't like making changes to the theme, I lose them unless I reapply them when the theme is updated here.

(Of course there is the suggestion of support for a user-created local.css to add overrides that would stay through an upgrade ...)

Title: background in TinyMCE is pink, fixed but is it the right fix? » background in TinyMCE is pink with Austere defaults, change to something more austere?
Category: support » feature

I had this happen as well and your fix is the "right" one if it fixed it on your site.

I think the thing to do with this issue is to make it a feature request to not use pink as a default on anything in a theme called "Austere" ... I updated the category and title slightly.
