So, I decided to create some simple starter templates to help people out who have little to no CSS ... but would like to change the default look of their Obsidian Portal site. By no means do I only plan to do three (and hopefully I'm not alone) but I think this is a good start. The Obsidian Portal community has always been good to me, and this is my way of paying back/paying forward.
Simple Series
I tried to make these "simple" ones as "plug and play" as possible. No wonky fonts or images or anything like that. They should function as a great starting point for much more complicated stuff.
* "Black & Red":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-simple-black-red
* "Black & Green":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-simple-black-green
* "Black & Blue":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-simple-black-blue
Basic Theme Series
These have some images and possibly use Google Fonts, they're still "simple" in that there's no complex CSS going on and it's still basically just a skin over the default Obsidian Portal layout. Images are selected from royalty free stock/sites.
* "The Innkeeper's Ledger":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-innkeeper-s-ledger (generic and suitable for fantasy)
* "iMetallic":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-imetallic (suitable for generic modern day/sci-fi)

Having a bit of trouble with Inkeeper's Ledger in the Dresden Files custom sheet.
Apparently in edit mode the field headers for each stat end up as white text on a white background so they are unreadable until you select where the text should be.
I assume all I need to do is modify something in the CSS tell it to be another color but I have no idea what. Could someone please advise? It is otherwise a very awesome skin.
thanks.

I never tested Ledger with the Dresden record sheet, though I probably should. :)
Been going through it and I'm very thankful for the comments in there... they helped me figure it out pretty quickly. Now it's got me interested (slightly) in CSS too.
Now I just need to get my hands on the CSS for the Dresden Sheet.

I created my own "dresden template":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dfd/wikis/new-npc-template - but I have not turned it into a DST yet, though I probably should.
"http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-innkeeper-s-ledger":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-innkeeper-s-ledger
So art has been added as well as "a guide to convert":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/free-template-innkeeper-s-ledger off the frontpage (at bottom)
To see what it looks like with the new parchment files, "follow this link":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/glensrotrl
To contribute a bit back, here is a variant on your iMetallic theme, which I am creatively calling "iGlass":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/outremer/wikis/iglass
Essentially three changes:
Modified the color scheme a bit
Changed out the texture for a "glowy" one
Implemented some opacity/transparency settings (so works best with lighter backgrounds for readability)

I think I now feel confident with how I will rework the whole deal into a better working wiki, thanks!!

Keryth, got a test character link that I can take a look at with the problem you're having?
.dynamic_sheet_container {margin-top:-11px;margin-left:-11px;color:black;font:black;}
That fixed it.
Problem now is the Dresden Sheet and Dresden Sheet v2 won't work on letting me enter Stunts and Powers
