You need to change the properties of the textarea in your HTML\CSS

textarea {color:ffffff; background-image:url("-- ");
font-size:7pt; font weight:bold; font-family: arial;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat:repeat;
background-position:center;
background-color:ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color:black;
scrollbar-track-color:white;
scrollbar-shadow-color:black;
scrollbar-face-color:white;
scrollbar-highlight-color:black;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:black;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:white;}
font-family: arial;
font-size: 7pt;
font-color:000000;}

Everything in bold is changeable.
