Changing The White Background
I'm working on the layout for the campaign I'm co-GMing, "Edgerunners":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/edgerunners. So far, it's working pretty well. But I'm a bit annoyed with the default white background that the entire site uses, and I'd like to get rid of it.
Now, to be clear, I'm not talking about the background on the sides (where I've got sidebars set up, and clearly aren't white), or the background in the main body of the text (which I can control rather easily, as evidenced by the fact that it's not white on the site). Instead, I'm talking about the white that surrounds the area that you can alter by default - the bit surrounding the campaign title and that section with the default OP stuff (like Fans, Quick Stats, etc) to the right of the page body. What I'd like to do is change that color so that it's a nice gray. I'm trying to figure out a way to do that without it erasing that entire sidebar there (and covering up all the rest of the default OP stuff), but failing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure how to help you with your problem directly, but I can point you to this "thread":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1114&page=2#Item_24, which might help.
I do want to let you know that you've really knocked it out of the park with your site design. Very sleek, very cool. Nice.

Anyways, over the next month or so I'll be rolling out the new design to the rest of the site and changing many of the text links to be graphical instead, similar to the prototype I made a while ago on the "Organizations":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/edgerunners/wikis/organizations page (the interconnected hexagons one).
Anyways, here's what it *should* look like:

It requires redoing a few other styles than just the Content one in order to maintain full legibility (like making a few specific things be white rather than black, etc), but not so difficult, really. Kinda wish we could have definable OP skins that each individual wiki can choose from, or at least 'Light' and 'Dark' styles.
