Description

Yes, dA is one of the growing list of sites that not get the simple rule of web design in their system: which is
define one colour, define them all.

Me is running a Slackware based Linux, using XFCe as Desktop Environment, and using a light text on dark background theme called "Nodoka Midnight".

Now, as you can see in the screenshot above: dA defines the background colour of the comment edit box as "white", but utterly fails in defining the colour for the text to be put into it as black.
