In some browsers, I cannot control the background color of the folder tree, because it is hardcoded. Any ideas on getting around this? The id seems to be rendered.


style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 300px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"

Also the drop down box handling the paging seems to be hardcoded white -- so I have white on white text there as well. :(

Your right it's hard-coded.
It's in admin/files/filemanager.aspx

It's an span with id pnlFolders

And I think you can remove the background-color
and set it in a stylesheet

How am I supposed to sell a skin with a black background if it requires core mods? Maybe I need to buy a few black skins and see if others got around it, or just left the Admin white...

I am against using light fonts against dark backgrounds. They are bad from a usability POV. But hey, it's not my business right? Anyway, there's a whole set of css classes for the file manager.

/* styles used in the FileManager */

.FileManager

{

border-right: black 1px solid;

border-top: black 1px solid;

border-left: black 1px solid;

border-bottom: black 1px solid;

height:400px;

}

.FileManager_ToolBar

{

border-bottom: black 1px solid;

height:25px;

}

.FileManager_Explorer

{

height:100%;

border: dimgray 1px solid;

background-color: White;

margin: 2px 2px 2px 2px;

}

.FileManager_FileList

{

height:100%;

border: dimgray 1px solid;

background-color: White;

margin: 2px 2px 2px 2px;

overflow: auto;

}

.FileManager_MessageBox

{

text-align: center;

vertical-align: middle;

background-color: White;

padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px;

}

.FileManager_Header

{

font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: bold;

color: #E7E7FF;

background-color: #9EBFF6;

border-bottom: dimgray 1px solid;

height: 25px;

}

.FileManager_Pager

{

font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: bold;

background-color: #EEEEEE;

border-top: dimgray 1px solid;

height: 25px;

}

.FileManager_StatusBar

{

font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: normal;

background-color: #dedfde;

}

font-weight: normal;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: normal;

}

.FileManagerTreeNodeSelected

{

font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: normal;

background-color: #dcdcdc;

}

A.FileManagerTreeNode:link, A.FileManagerTreeNodeSelected:link {

text-decoration: none;

color: #003366;

}

A.FileManagerTreeNode:visited, A.FileManagerTreeNodeSelected:visited {

text-decoration: none;

color: #003366;

}

A.FileManagerTreeNode:active, A.FileManagerTreeNodeSelected:active {

text-decoration: none;

color: #003366;

}

A.FileManagerTreeNode:hover, A.FileManagerTreeNodeSelected:hover {

text-decoration: none;

}
Do you know the truth when you hear it?

I would strongly disagree that white on black text is universally bad usability in all cases. The bottom line is that several of my clients want it and I'm having a nearly impossible time delivering it using DNN. What is posted above is the junk in the portal.css. I'm finding more and more is actually hardcoded, and cannot be skinned. And, of course, all the images seem to be hardcoded as well, leaving bad looking white edges around the icons.

The workaround seems to be the use of what I'd consider "hacks," but I still haven't discovered all of them. Since the Admin skin is also the "Edit" skin, it's not as simple as making the "backend" a lighter version.
