I’m trying to manually recolor this forum and it’s worked for most of what I’ve attempted so far but the main table background keeps getting reset. I’m only allowed to include 1 screenshot so I’ll include the inspect menu, the primary table becomes blue again when I apply the changes to the CSS and …

Use your browser’s DevTools to inspect the main content area and identify which CSS variable controls the background color. Then, override it in your theme’s CSS like this: :root { --primary-low: #F6F6F5; --primary-very-low: #F6F6F5; --d-topic-list-background-color: #F6F6F5; }

Why is my CSS color choice being overwritten?
