Hey all,
Currently when you try to quote someone in my forum, the quote itself, the quotations, and the quote background do not show because they are by default in white during the post/edit process (the content is there, but is #fff). I have edited the ow_quote and ow_quote_wrap colors in css, but this only edits what is show on the user side once it is posted.
For instance, "Quote from Username", background & dialog box with the quotes are showing as white...
Is there a way to adjust the colors of these functions for the reply/edit process?

Forum "Quote" Disappears in editing | Forum

Anyone?
It must be a core issue? It occurs when I do it here in the forum. Just click "Quote" & you'll see what I mean

I've got as far as you have with this code, but haven't found a way to get it to apply to the edit pane. There is some extra, and html elements that pull in when in edit mode.
/* set background color of quote*/
body.htmlarea_styles blockquote.ow_quote, blockquote.ow_quote {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
/*set font color of quote author*/
body.htmlarea_styles blockquote.ow_quote .ow_author, blockquote.ow_quote .ow_author {
color: #1976d2;
}
/*set the font color of the quote*/
.ow_quote_cont {
color: #757575;
}
Edited. This has to be done in the base css. This was for the simplicity theme.

I got it. This is one of the things that needs to be applied directly to the base css. I've got it added now.

I edited those elements in the base css in cpanel. I didn't need to add the !important. The first two have a background color set in the base css. I added the color css to the third element. If you haven't made any changes to the base css, you could download the theme again, and replace the base css file. I've made some other changes since you got it last. I am making some final tweaks to one of the others then I will probably submit them to the store as free themes.

Thanks Darryl. I have made changes to the css. If i replace the base css, will I have to re-insert the changes I have made? Or will the settings remain the same? Thanks again, this was a big help!

If you have settings in the admin panel they will stay, but if you made them to the base, it will overwrite them.

Just remember. Any time you make changes in cpanel; you need to set dev mode to true in the config php, refresh any page on your site, and then you should see the changes. Then set dev mode back to false.

*Solved
Darryl's solution works great. I replaced the base css file, everything looks good. Thanks for the help!
