How to fix appearance of code chunks in markdown documents

[mathiasweidinger]

Hi,

I am using the KeepIt theme to run my blog. I really, really like it but unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the CSS that makes code chunks unreadable (switching the code background to white on a black background like so...):

More than that, I would also like code snippets to be rendered without these black boxes around them.

Could you please point me to where in the CSS I need to change this?

Thanks and all the best, Mathias

Hey! I just (as in JUST NOW) finally figured this out.

I ended up debugging this with just "inspect" in chrome. Took me a bit but here are the changes I made -- obviously you don't have to modify the example site...

I haven't tested this with other posts so I don't know what effect it will have on non code related - text based - posts...
