Actually, I'd guess that your application is adding some CSS
somewhere, one way or another (webkit is a complex beast). I
recommend you enable the webkit inspector to investigate which rules
are being applied, and how. The inspector only takes a few lines of
code to add to your application.

I finally had a chance to try Nick's suggestion. Using inspector, I was able
to fix the problem. I believe that there is a new layer. The body element had
the background color that I set, but the new layer was on top and it had a
white background. I changed the background color of that layer to solve the
problem. I was also able to make many other adjustments to improve the
appearance thanks to the information I found in inspector -- and I barely
tapped its capabilities.
Thanks to all for the support and especially to Nick for telling me about
inspector.
