  Completely new to CSS:

  I would like to have the Blogum Theme with black background and with all white text – is there an easy way to do this ?

  Welcome to CSS land! :)

  Swapping the colors for Blogum so it has a black background isn’t super simple, but it’s certainly doable. What you should do is find all of the instances from the original Blogum stylesheet where it mentions “color” or “background-color” or “background” and add custom CSS to swap them.

  “Color” is mentioned 60 times in the Blogum theme stylesheet. To be thorough, you’d want to add a little CSS for each one of those.

  Here’s a partial example to try out:

  body {
    background: black;
  }
  
  #header h1 a, #access a, .post-meta h1 a, .post-data a, .comments-link a, .post-edit a, .widget-body li a, .widget-body p a, .wp_widget_tag_cloud a, .widget_tag_cloud a, .widget h1, .widget h1 a, .post-content p, .post-content li, .post-content dd, .post-content dt, .post-content pre, .post-content address, .post-content div, .post-content kbd, .post-content tt, .post-content var, .post-content p a, .post-content li a, .post-content table a, #nav-below a, .footer a, ::selection {
    color: white;
  }

  If you’d like help checking on a more complete list, let me know and I’ll do some more work on it.

  Thanks – I actually went through the Blogum Stylesheet – and it was not easy.

  In the end I chose to use the Nishita theme and work from that.

  Still struglling with some stuff though :-)

  Make a new thread here in the CSS forums if you have more questions about CSS and Nishita!
