Default Wiki Captioned Image Background Color is White

Seeing as the font for the wiki is basically white it makes all captioned images's captions unreadable...

Complained about a similar problem, got the response that you should be editing the wiki instead of complaining about it, so I'm passing it along.

I think an entry needs to be added to /site/trunk/wwwroot/skins/mediawiki/spring.css along the lines of:

Code: Select all

div.thumbinner {
	background-color: #38474E;
}
To override the default media-wiki "oldshared.css"

(That's the color the Table of Contents Box is using, since I'm not able to test it server side I'm not sure if that will look much better... or even if that's the right place to change it.)

Well in the case where you were told to edit the wiki, that idneed was the actual fix! I should know, I fixed them.

Some places in the wiki are controlled by template pages, btu these tempalte pages may have styling attatched whcih makes no sense in the current theme. For example the box on the AI pages ahd white text and a white background just like this makign it unreadable because of styling attributes on the template page.

Indeed. The problem isnt' the content, it's the styling, and afaik that can't be edited by users.
