Hi. I'm using SharePoint 2007 still and we are using the blueglassband.master theme. With this theme the background color of the site is a dark blue but this causes datasheet view grids to be extremely dark.
I have found fixes to edit the .body tag and set it to FFFFFF and then add a form#aspnetForm element and set the dark blue background there, and this has worked successfully...
Or so I thought. It turns out this has caused a weird issue in other pages in SharePoint where-by half the page is dark blue as expected, but then it changes to white.
Even more bizarre, it seems the "half way" mark where the color changes is dependent on the initial size of the IE window when the page gets first rendered. That is, the blue to white change occurs at the point in the page that touches the bottom of the IE window. Bigger IE window = change happens later.
Any ideas on this one?
