The first entry in the .css file for gallery, the background color for this entry changes the background color of just about everything surrounding the gallery except where the actual albums and such appear. However, it also changes the background color of the login boxes.
For my site I change the background color to green. Login boxes with a green backround against a green site background looks kinda funny. You can see what I mean by going to doublea.cc and clicking on the Gallery link on the left.
I checked the rest of the .css file and I couldn't find (see) any values for those login boxes specifically. Is it difficult to adjust this so I can have white login boxes and still have a green background?

1) how recent is your G2? make sure you're using a recent nightly build if you're going to work with the css, as it has changed dramatically since beta-1.
2) look for input:focus in the theme css.. this sets the background color when the input has the cursor in it. you can add a #gallery input { background-color:... } entry if you wish.
