My website is here and I'm using the dark version of the default theme:

I understand that this is provided without official support so I'm hoping someone here can help me. I really like the theme but there are two problems that I can't figure out how to solve:

1. The search box has a dark background but the text is black.
2. The WYSIWYG editor has a white background, which is fine, but when quoting another post the quote box is dark but the text colour from quotes is not maintained. As such, quotes in the editor show up with dark text on a dark background and are almost unreadable.

Other text entry (e.g. user profile) works fine since they're all just black text in white boxes, which is fine.

I've tried looking at the CSS for both of these but the hierarchies are quite complicated and I get a bit lost beyond basic CSS stuff.

Anyone have any ideas for how to fix this?

The search field would be fixed by something like

#elSearch input[type="search"] {
color: yellow;
}

in your custom.css.

I *think* that

div.ipsQuote_contents.ipsClearfix.cke_widget_editable {
color: yellow;
}

should solve your other problem. Obviously change "yellow" to anything you want, including hex numbers (#FFFFFF).

Both working perfectly, you're my hero @Meddysong, thanks!
