Aretai, I haven't seen it discussed anywhere, but had the same problem. Went in and modified the main.css in the selected skin. (skins->[skin name]->main.css Was a tedious hunt and peck process - had to find every instance and use the 'background-color: #FFFFD' [in my case]. Some of the key ones to add to are: #content body table .pBody #footer #preftoc There are probably others, but it's all configurable. Jack D.
