I've found a livejournal layout that I really enjoy and have customized it to the best of my ability. The problem comes in when I tried to use the lighter style for a different purpose. Almost everything is perfect and just the way I want it, except for trying to 'reply to' from any email notifications I get.

With the darker theme, this is the way it looks for a reply.
1: When I reply directly from the comment page itself.
2: When I reply with the 'reply to' function from my email.

The lighter one has the problem of the subject box and the comment box itself not being separately outlined from the background, but only on the 'reply to' page.
1: When I reply directly from the comment page itself.
2: When I reply with the 'reply to' function from my email.

As you can see, the page is just a wash of light. I realize that changing the background of the comment page itself might be one way to change it, but that would carry over into the regular comment page and ruin the look of the layout. I'd really prefer just to color in the reply box (and possibly the subject bar and maybe the buttons) on the 'reply to' page alone.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've copied my LJ style to DW using a Core 1 layout layer (Flexible Squares) and a custom css stylesheet (by circa77 on LJ, modified by me) in the customization wizard. It works fine on DW with one exception that I can see: the entry text isn't right on the reply page (?mode=reply). It does work in the entry view (the one you get to by following a cut or a direct link) and even the 'read comments' view, and it's not a problem on LJ, so the issue seems to be DW-specific. It seems to affect only the entry and date/subject text, too — the entry background colour and all other parts of the page are fine.

I've tried to tweak it using .lj-view-reply .entry or .entry_text, which hasn't made a difference in any variation I've tried. If anyone has any idea of how to fix this, I'd be most grateful to know. :)
