Chatbox Problems

Hey Guys
Firstly, here is my Chatbox CSS.

Code:

/* Chatbox-------------------------------------------------*/
#chatbox_contextmenu {
border: 2px solid black;
background-color:
.chatbox_row_1,
.chatbox_row_2,
.chatbox_row_3,
.chatbox_row_1 a,
.chatbox_row_2 a,
.chatbox_row_3 a
color: #000000;
}
#chatbox_contextmenu p {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000009;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#chatbox_contextmenu p.close {
background-color: #eaeaea;
padding: 0px;
}
#chatbox_footer {
height: 30px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
padding: 5px;
}

SCREENSHOT:


Now, my first problem is that on the left of the chatbox, it shows the usernames of people in the chatbox. Above all the "Online" usernames, there is a white rectangle. In that WHITE rectangle, there is WHITE text, so you can't read it unless you highlight it. I need to change the font colour of those "Online" and "Away" boxes to black.
My second problem is kind of hard to explain. You know how when you say something, it has a dark background, and next time you say something, it has a light background, and so on? I want to get rid of that. I have tried to get rid of that, as I read in another thread that all those rows would fix it, they didn't. I hope these problems can be fixed.

Thanks,
Clug

BUMP!
For some reason, I think this thread was reported?

BUMP!

BUMP! PLEASE help me someone.

Please someone help!! BUMP. This is urgent, yet I've waited for week(s)!

BUMP! NO help at all?

Sanket garbaged the new thread of this, so for the 50th time, BUMP.

BUMP. Are you guys serious? The majority of my post count is bumps in this thread.

Can you please post a screenshot along with this?

I added it to my first post, but here it is again:

Emmmmm, try to change your theme and then check it again

I don't want to have to change themes. I might if I HAVE to to fix it, but could you look around in my Chatbox CSS for a solution?

BUMP.

BUMP.

BUMP.

BUMP.

BUMP.

Eh, fool around with the colors.

Display > Pictures and Colors > Colors

You can change the background color, text color and main font face. For the "black & white" problem, just change your theme. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's why I posted the CSS. I only want to change the chatbox, not the whole site.

BUMP.

Replace your Chatbox CSS with this. I tried to give the white a nice color, tell me if you want a different one.

Code:

/* Chatbox-------------------------------------------------*/
#chatbox_contextmenu {
border: 2px solid black;
background-color:
.chatbox_row_1,
.chatbox_row_2,
.chatbox_row_3,
.chatbox_row_1 a,
.chatbox_row_2 a,
.chatbox_row_3 a
color: #000000;
}
#chatbox_contextmenu p {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000009;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#chatbox_contextmenu p.close {
background-color: #282828;
padding: 0px;
}
#chatbox_footer {
height: 30px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
padding: 5px;
}

Thanks for the try, but it didn't change anything. I just had a thought that it may be my BASIC CSS, so I checked it out there. I'm not expert in CSS, but I'm pretty sure the problem can be fixed if we edit my basic CSS.

EDIT: I've fixed it with the basic CSS using guesswork on what the different things meant and what changing the colour would do. Thanks for your help Justin!

Since this thread is marked solved, I will lock this thread.
