Change CKEditor Colors to Match Style (for 4.1.4 and above)

[Steve Machol]

Add this code to your additional.css template to match the colors of the editor to the style you are using:

/* Background Color for CKEditor */
.cke_skin_kama .cke_wrapper {
background:{vb:stylevar postbithead_background} !important;
}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Buttons (Note, this may be too dark for some styles. If so you can delete this one.) */
.cke_skin_kama .cke_toolgroup {
background: {vb:stylevar postbit_foot_background} !important;
}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Hover Link*/
.cke_skin_kama a:hover {
background: {vb:stylevar control_content_hover_background} !important;
}

The additional.css template can be found here:

Admin CP -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> CSS Templates -> additional.css

---

Note: If you want to change these to your own custom colors, then use this code instead:

/* Background Color for CKEditor */
.cke_skin_kama .cke_wrapper {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;
}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Buttons */
.cke_skin_kama .cke_toolgroup {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;
}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Hover Link*/
.cke_skin_kama a:hover {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;
}

...with xxxxxx being the hexcode of the color you wish to use.

See post by maverick4283 for fix:

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/393393-CKEditor-Colors-Text-area?p=2246540#post2246540

Fixed it by changing the style.css and making it read only

As of 4.1.8, there are stylevars to control the editor colors. You don't need to follow this anymore.
