GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 301572
Something to change window colors without changing themes.

Back in the end of the eighties, os/2 was 'THE future' of computing. It never made it, of course. It has an interesting feature, altough: for some people, changing color schemes to inversed-high contrast was too much, and none of the pre-defined schemes (say themes) would please them. You could easily change a windows' element color, by just dragging this color from a color pallete into the desired element. (the object-orientation mantra, quite common at ibm those times). This could be done globally - say dragging into a sample window - or even individually - drag a color into evolution compose window textbox, and only this would be changed. Why I'm asking this? I can see well, but have sensible eyes (I think the term photofobia is the correct one in english). The inversed themes are awful, but the common ones are too clear. I don't want to create a whole theme only for eliminating the white text fields. Changing the color, as it's possible in windows since 3.1 and os/2 since 2.0 (as far as I can remember), would suffice.
