Hello Banjan,

What you want is possible by editing the gbook.php file but it is preferred not to mess with the gbook.php file.

To change appearance of a html (or php) page Cascading Style Sheets (css) have been introduced. With Gbook comes a stylesheet called style.ccs. By changing the styles in this file you can change most of the look of the pages (unfortunately not everything because Klemen Stirn has some style written directly in the gbook.php file).

To set the black background color add this to the BODY, TD {...} section.
background-color: black;

To set the yellow text, add this to the BODY, TD {...} section.
color: #FED500;

To set the blue background color for the input fields, change the value of background-color of the INPUT {...} section.
background-color: #80DCFF

To set the blue background color for the textarea, add this to the style.css file
TEXTAREA{
background-color: #80DCFF
}

To set the style for the TEXTAREA to the same as the INPUT fields you can also change INPUT { in the style.css file to INPUT, TEXTAREA {

Hope this clears things up for you.

Greetings,
Henrie

In the standard GBook version 1.35 you can't change the background for only the comments area. Just for the whole entry.
If you want to change the background for the comments area only you have to edit the gbook.php file and add a style class to that table cell and then add a style for that class in the style.css file.
