When I select text in my current layout, I can't actually see the selection. The color of the selection is similar to the color of my layout's body. I believe that color is #F6F6F6. I'm not sure what to edit in my CSS to make selected text blue as usual. Can anyone help me? (Assuming my explanation makes sense)

Here's my CSS:

Hey all, over on [community profile] css_code I'm having a few issues with a new layout I'm using, "Cake", based on the Crisped theme, and made by cirque at dustier.dreamwidth.org. I've never worked with Crisped before, and while I understand it's designed to re-size based on your screen width, I've always had bad luck with themes that re-size in that the really long and/or deeply nested comment threads seem to always get messed up.

Case in point: this page is a disaster (edited to update link; it was originally pointing to the wrong DW). The comment threads float left, right, introduce scrollbars I don't want, and when .partial (collapsed) comments are expanded on that page, they are invariably broken, with the user icon running into either the title or the date - or both - and all the comments on that page are too narrow after a thread depth of maybe four or five; I want all thread depths approximately the same width as the top threads that don't squish in so much.

Also, owing to the way I've coded things, the space for the comment title is there even when the comment title is not, like when it's [no subject] - which is now inconveniently hidden by the newish .invisible. I can't find the magic command(s) to un-hide it but I have tried various things.

So, in list form, this is what I need:

  1. for the comments on my comm to align right, with no floating past the alignment point either right or left (use this page as your guide; I have it coded so all the comments are aligning perfectly). I cannot figure out what the code for that would be in this style (or any style designed to re-size like this) to save my life -
  2. to kill bottom scrollbars on pages with long and/or deeply nested comment threads -
  3. for deeper comment threads to stop narrowing in so much (again, use this page as your guide; the narrowing in on it is much subtler - not so obvious and ugly and squishy) -
  4. for collapsed comments under the control of the .partial class to not look broken like they do now with the user icon running into the comment titles and dates and everything all squished looking when those comments are expanded -
  5. to either unhide .invisible on comment titles so the title visibly says [no subject] again or else to adjust the comment title height to make it shorter for when there is no visible title -

Yes, this is a lot of stuff!

I feel like if I knew this style as well as I know the underlying code for Transmogrified I wouldn't need help with any of it (I figured the same problems out for Transmog myself, but I've had that style on my personal DW for almost three years, so I've had a long time to get to know it better - with my community style, I feel like I don't have the luxury of just puzzling it out for the next 24-36 months...)..so any help from you all would be very much appreciated - thanks in advance!
