False Alarm. I started messing with the css file and changed the
background color
This showed that the css WAS working, but that the default color was
way bad.
This change works..
====== 8< ======
/** General Style Info **/
body {
/** background: #003d4c; WAY TOO DARK **/
background: #99ff33;
color: #fff;
font-family:'lucida grande',verdana,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;
font-size:90%;
margin: 0;
}
===== >8 ========
Cake should change this default!
