I'm in the process of converting an AutoTheme to Xanthia (fiblack from Portal Themes).

I have it mostly converted, however for some reason the body text is showing up black instead of white. Since the background is black, this makes it hard to read. Since the theme doesn't appear to name any style class or id names, I'm not sure where the color change is coming from. If anyone can take a look and spot where it's changing I would appreciate it. I have my test installed at:

AT Original: http://friday.westne…x.php?theme=fiblack
Xanthia Version: http://friday.westne…php?theme=fiblackXT

I haven't converted all the template variables yet, it was hard since I couldn't see them. However center block text will show up, along with side block headers

I put the source to both themes in a zip:

Search through the AT theme code for e7e7e7 that's the text color on the original them, maybe it's hiding somewhere it shouldn't be. adding "color:#e7e7e7" to your CSS should work tho.

Add color:#d0a700;
To the body tag in style.css

Man that is an old theme.. one of my favorites though. :)

Thanks, adding a color entry for body in style.css did it. I thought I had even tried that, must have missed a cache clear or something.

I can't figure out why it works without it in AT and not XT. Oh well.

I'm looking for ideas for a site for the old vector-based arcade games (Asteroids, Tempest, etc), this has been the closest thing to the glowing-lines of those games I've found. Not sure I'll be able to do anything, but figured it was a good test to convert anyway. Sloppy HTML though.
