This is not true. Mine was set to white and ad background was black.
Anyway...no time for complaining--just gave ning my $25 and hope i can collect in ad revenue
mine did the same thing, i have black background, and my ning owned ads are white....and just today my network badge did the same thing.....what is it doing this for, and can I fix it???
Just go to your Theme-Appearance Page and under: Basic Theme-Colors--you will see two boxes (Module and Sides)
Make the Module "Transparent" (the option looks checkered), and make the sides your color of choice. Save.
To change the link color within the Google Ads area, under the Text area--after clicking All Options next to Basic Theme, you'll see Body and Links ---select your preferred colors. That's it!
I had to learn this the hard way but freely share it with you. Let me know if I can help any further.
