  Hi all:
  I recently changed my theme to “Mistylook” and have been editing the css for it, but I’m having trouble with the comments section: I can’t get it changed from a plain, white box. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

  I think you need to change the input section of the CSS from:

  input.textbox
  {
  	border:#ccc 1px solid;
  	background:#fff url(img/shadow_top.gif) repeat-x top;
  	font:1em Verdana, Arial, Serif;
  	padding:2px;
  	width:150px;
  }

  that background and border color should be what you will need to fiddle with I think. If not, it will most likely be:

  #commentform
  {
  	margin:10px 0;
  	padding:10px;
  	background:#f9fcfc;
  	border-top: #ddd 1px solid;
  	border-bottom: #ddd 1px solid;
  }

  I’d already modified input.textbox to:

  input.textbox {
  border:#ccc 1px solid;
  background:#4F4F2F url('/water1sep.jpg') repeat-x top;
  font:1em Bookman Old Styles, Times New Roman, Verdana, Arial, Serif;
  width:150px;
  padding:2px;
  }

  and #commentform to:

  #commentform {
  background:url('/water1sep.jpg');
  border-top:#ddd 1px solid;
  border-bottom:#ddd 1px solid;
  margin:10px 0;
  padding:10px;
  }

  Unless my coding is off I don’t think that’s it, because that was my first thought as well. Any other ideas?
