CSS help needed

Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 3:58 am Post subject: CSS help needed Post Rating: 0

I'm having problem with changing the comments area background color at my blog from white to black.
It looks like the posting a comments a more yellowish white, and the one who replies has white background.
I'd like both of them to have black background.
If I change the post text color to white the text won't be visible in the comments.
Currently using the theme Eudora ver. 1.1.
And here's an example page: http://www.giftedones.net/jun-to-ai-2012/
If someone knows what and where I should change/add code, please let me know.
Thank you very much in advance.

Below is the code from the styles.css (the comments area).

Code:

hi, Keiko!

find this line in the file http://www.giftedones.net/wp-content/plugins/spam-free-wordpress/css/sfw-comment-style.css

3rd line should be
.sfw-commentlist > li.sfw-comment {
background: black;
...
}
6th line should be
.sfw-commentlist .children li.sfw-comment{
background: black;
...
}

but there is also white arrow - picture. it should be changed in image editor, saved with rewrite in the folder it belongs. the name of the picture is probably images/comments/comment-arrow.png
