I'm talking about that header thing that displays something when you do certain actions, like try to access a page that you don't have permissions for. That text that talks about the page reloading. The text is very light on a white background so it's nearly unreadable. Maybe the theme does this because it has a black background with lighter text.

I'd like to either change the text or the color of the background, preferably the latter.

Since I found this myself, I thought I'd answer my own question in case it may help someone else.

I found the text in the top messages shared its color with the overall body text of the skin. In the style.css file near the top was the code:



The FFFFFF defined the body text of my theme to white, which of course, did not contrast well to the almost-white background. I changed FFFFFF to C0C0C0, a light gray, which contrasts enough to be readable.

Thank you, Me.
