    I’d really love for the background color of the editor to match my website’s background color generated by the theme. I’m using light text and a dark background, but then the editor has light text on the default light background.

    Many other themes have been able to do this for a while, and, without it, I will not be able to use Blocksy. I have tried creating a child theme and manually fixing it with no such luck.

    I was looking at this in the hope that I could kludge something together.

    Thanks a ton!

    Hey @greysonwhy,
    Actually the editor background is inheriting the site color, please take a look at this video – https://d.pr/v/VIr3yn

    Are you using the Gutenberg editor or the Classic one?

    Yes, I am using Gutenberg. I have my site’s color set to a dark grey, but the background of Gutenberg shows up as white. It works fine with other themes—like Twenty Twenty, for example.

    Hi @greysonwhy,
    That’s weird, it works fine on my end and you can see that in the video I posted earlier.

    Cold you please try to clear the browser caches and see if that helps?

    Waiting a reply from you.

    Hello @greysonwhy

    Just one little tip to add to my colleague’s response. We’ve seen some cases where the Gutenberg editor’s styles are cached and these cannot be cleared by a normal emptying of a cache.

    Inside the editor you’ll see the menu in the very top right corner. Clicking on that should show you more options, and at the bottom there should be the editor preferences. Click on that and on the modal that appears toggle the “use theme styles” button, save changes and refresh, and then go back and turn on the option to show theme styles.

    Later edit — here’s where you can find the option — https://ibb.co/5BC4FpP

    Please let us know if this works.

    Thanks!
