User blog comment:Sarah Manley/New Editor Scheduled for Sitewide Release/@comment-1091639-20110908105426

I'm sad to see that some of the most important bugs have not been fixed. Additionally, similarly to the Admin Dashboard issue, the New Editor has the exact same, fixed, dull color theme which entirely doesn't work with dark-themed wikis. I guess sticking to the default, blue/white skin is now a must for any admin who wants to have a consistent theme without spending hours on tweaking all the new Wikia extensions :(

Additionally, contrary to what has been said, renaming custom CSS background selectors from  to   doesn't protect against loading the background in the RTE window
