Hi Guys,  I just noticed this thread and thought I might be able to help.
I was just working through this today for the Foton skin...

To change the background color of the conversation history:

In UI File 920 change this code from:

code:

---

    convhistory[class="DefaultWallpaper"]
    {
        background: window;
        alpha: 255;
    }

---

To this, where the RGB is any color value (##,##,##) I made it black (0,0,0) cause thats what you wanted. 

code:

---

    convhistory[class="DefaultWallpaper"]
    {
        background: ifhc(buttonshadow, rgb(0,0,0));
        alpha: 255;
    }

---

That will change the background color.   I wont go into the text (partly becuase I dont fully know how) and cause you seem to have a solution above.  If you really want default white text, i can look into it some more.
