Hi,
Could you give me a link to your page as you said?

I actually was just working on this exact same issue for another member . . .

The slideshow background is created using an image as part of the background property within the following file path –>

/modules/mod_jaslideshow2/assets/themes/ironis/style.css – at line 15

<blockquote>.ja-slidewrap_ironis {
background: url(body_black.gif) repeat left top;
}
</blockquote>

You can either create a new custom image …. or, you can try deleting the image path and replacing it with a color code (like the previous examples above)

Are there CSS files within the folder structure for the slideshow component you are using?

Having a difficult time accessing the CSS info for that component via Firebug or Chrome Inspector

What you would need to do is look through the css relative to the slideshow – and figure out which rule/class deals with the background color. It shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out – there should be a rule with a “background” color property of “#000”, which is the color hex code for black . . . or another color code for a dark color.

Sometimes the investigating and trial-and-error part/process can be the most fun – and rewarding.
