Oh, yeah, I forgot, If it is a color you frequently want to change you might
be able to declare it in variables.txt then read it into a table or td
bgcolor.

I never tried it, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. That way you can
change it easily and not affect the rest of IC. BTW You can also read in a
second style sheet, or set an additional style "next to" THEME_CSS. I chose
to ditch THEME_CSS, but copied most of it and read it in as an include, if I
remember correctly. That way I have my old familiar control over my styles
sheets. IC is confusing in that sense. It is almost like it's style sheet
has a style sheet :)
