Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-04-09 16:07:43 UTC 
As can be seen in attachment #185590 [details] (screenshot), black text on dark-red background is hard to read. It would be better if the red background can be made lighter (or white text on a darker red), or if the text had a white shadow for increased legibility.

Good point, my idea is to make the text white there, I wasn't able to achieve that via the theme though. Cosimo?

Changes text colors to white for error (red bg) and question (blue bg) infobars and to black for info (yellow bg) and warning (orange bg)
