Problem: a SharePoint skin with a dark background color. All the ActiveX controls (multiple file upload, Datasheet view) inherit the background color.

Solution: to keep the background you want, but not affect the ActiveX controls, include this fix:

body
{
background-color: white;
}
form#aspnetForm
{
background-color:#YOUR_DARK_COLOR#;
height:100%;
}

I found this extremely useful tip here.

Respectul este un sentiment reciproc. Nu o linie verticala cu sageata numai in capatul de sus.
