White background behind tiddles.

[Mark 3000]

I'm a complete tiddlywiki newbie. I don't have any advanced requirements or anything at this time. My only issue is that no matter what colors I choose inside the palette section, I always have this persistent white background color behind the tiddles. See the attached image.

I'm trying to create a dark/night-themed wiki, and this bright white background is bugging the heck out of me. Also, a lot of fields are white in color as well, and I can't figure out how to fix that either.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Mark,

It looks to me as if that light background corresponds to page-background in the colour palette, but hard to tell without being able to use developer tools to look at the elements.

In-browser developer tools are invaluable in figuring out which element is which on the page, and which css rules are being applied. I'd suggest checking them out if you haven't.

Best,

Chris

Thanks for the help clutterstack. I managed to change the white background to my preferred color using your suggestion. The variable for the background color is under tc.story-river. However, if I change any of the other colors for any other element, it automatically switches the story river color back to white. Also, if I close the wiki and reload it, it goes back to white. Any ideas what I should do to make the change permanent?

Hi Mark,

Sorry for not checking back here. Did you figure out your problem? I think I'm missing some information on what you did to change the colour. If you changed the colour for page-background in the palette tiddler, I'd have thought that would do the trick.

If you by any chance are changing css rules within developer tools in your browser, that will definitely get undone on reload. It's great for figuring out what's happening in the browser, testing rules, etc. Then you go back to your source file(s) and change what you want changed; in this case a palette tiddler in the tiddlywiki.

Best,

Chris

Page-background under the palette tiddler simply changes the background of the side bar, and the tiddler. The white space does not change no matter what, unless I manually adjust that tc.story-river variable that I mentioned. As a matter of fact, I've experimented by changing the all of the colors under palette, and exactly zero of them change that white background color. I'm at a loss.

Wow, I'm really not sure what's happening there, sorry, unless you have a custom stylesheet tiddler (or a plugin containing one) overriding the palette tiddler.

Best,

Chris

With this information i am also lost.

I don't know how you started to create this dark palette. But you can start cloning a dark palette like Twilight, maybe you can avoid some color changes. Do you know how to clone one?
