Forum:My .css seems to have quit working

Forums: Village pump → My .css seems to have quit working

Up until about twenty minutes ago (as of 9:16pm PDT), my custom .css was functioning fine. However, it suddenly stopped replacing the pitch black background of the editing box with a lighter version. So now I'm back to having to deal with the appearance of a DOS window unless I toggle the website skin button to make everything light. =(

Anyone know what's wrong? --Alayea (talk) 04:23, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Uhhh unless you're importing that in another file, that should never have worked. Hydradark isn't a valid skin here. --Pcj (talk) 04:35, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

It's the only thing I can think of to explain why the white background for the edit box suddenly turned black last night. I have found an option under Preferences > Gadgets for a "Dark editing box" which, ironically, is way less dark than the apparent default but it's still less friendly on my eyes. :|  --Alayea (talk) 19:31, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

So I tried copying the code to a new page as provided under Preferences, and it worked in restoring the white background for the editing box. However, I can no longer see the blinking cursor. (Most likely it was turned to white too, because I can see it on the highlighted line while editing my new .css page.)

I don't understand .css, so would someone who does please help? xD --Alayea (talk) 21:04, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Is the "Dark editing box" enabled by chance or even the option below it ("An improved Dark editing box (Beta)")? Else the editing box using darker colors shouldn't be the default - these gadgets provide that experience whereas without them, they should be light themed all around. — SurafbrovWarcraft Wiki administrator T / C 21:48, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I completely forgot about that... Disabling the "dark editing box" option fixed the problem, thank you. :) --Alayea (talk) 23:44, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
