Until two days ago, I was able to modify the background color of a

page with a style sheet containing the following:
body {
background-color: rgb(68, 68, 68) !important;
color: rgb(204, 204, 204) !important;
}
The line for color still works, but the line for background-color does
not.
Does anyone know what changed and what I have to do now to change the
background color?
If this is not the right mailing list for this question, could someone
direct me to the right one?
Thanks.

Ryan,
Thanks for your reply. It is certainly interesting to know that someone is
able to get something related to work, although I don't really understand what
it is you did. The lines of css that I provided still do not work for me.
Perhaps it would help for me to provide a little more information about what I
am doing as it most likely is different from what you tried.
I am viewing Wikipedia pages using webkit in an application that I wrote. I
attach my style sheet by specifying user_stylesheet_uri. I know that webkit
is reading my css because I could set the background color until 2 days ago
and because I can still set the text color. I am guessing that a css upstream
is now specifying the background color using !important so that my
specification no longer takes effect. If so, then that specification is new
because mine used to work. I don't understand how Wikipedia (or css, for that
matter) works well enough to guess where that change might have been made or
why. However, if my theory is correct, then I don't see how you are able to
change the background color, unless the change that you made somehow is
upstream from the hypothetical specification of background color using
!important.

Kaldari used an !important, but I tried it just now without it and the
background colour change still worked - is it possible you have some
other, more specific rule somewhere overriding the colour? The only
thing I found in the mw source css was a generic body selector without
anything special (body { background-color: #F6F6F6; }), but if that's
overridden elsewhere it would cause problems.
