Firstly, I must say this is an awesome theme. Just getting used to the myriad possiblilities and ease of configurability.

I am having difficulties with lots of modules that use jquery popups in particular. These include calendar, plupupload, ckeditor.

The problem is that when there is a popup in this theme, the text within the popup boxes are washed out and practicably unreadable. Is this something fixable via the theme or do I have to make CSS changes to all the modules that use jquery popups.

Thanks

"Washed out"? I'm guessing you mean the background color of the pop-ups is similar to the text color so there is little contrast?

Sounds like you will have to write some custom CSS, which you can add to your local.css file in the theme, in order to change the text and/or background colors of the pop-ups.

Thanks sheena_d

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes thats the problem. I am reasonably comfortable with CSS and can edit the local.css file. I am relatively new at Drupal though and not sure how I would go about associating these popups with the custom css from the Drupal or theme interface.

Any thoughts?

It's not any different than working with CSS on any other type of website. I would recommend installing and getting familiar with the Firebug plugin for Firefox, it allows you to target elements on a page and see all the CSS that is affecting them and helps in writing CSS to override existing styles.

here is a great tutorial on using Firebug: http://www.kristarella.com/2009/02/how-to-use-firebug-for-css/

Good luck!
