Tender is difficult to use with a dark system color scheme

The stylesheet in tender specifies a "#333333" color for textareas, it also specifies a "#666666" color for textboxes, however it does not specify a background color either. Rather it relies on the mistaken assumption that the browser will define a default white background.

Solutions:

  • Specify a background color in the stylesheet of white or some other color that contrasts with the foreground.
  • Remove the color statement entirely and letting the browser use its default foreground color as well.

The second solution is undesirable since using a dark text entry in a light site is painful.

    Tender actually allows you to use your own custom CSS -- you can change anything in the design that you don't like. Just go to Site Settings -> Customize and enter your own CSS.

    Oh I'm sorry, I just re-read what you're saying. I'll add some background color statements.
