See, that's what I thought. I found the CSS style sheet in this theme & I tried changing the two html files that I thought would be the one's to change for the main news page, but neither worked.
I changed the story_home.html and story_page.html
Here is the code for story_home.html, as you can see i changed every color option in there to #FFFFFF and it's still gray. :roll:
