GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 218631
Hardcoded colors
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:33 UTC
Description of Problem: It was already mentioned that folder bar has hardcoded color. In 1.0 Shortcut bar is white on dark gray, and mail header fields are blue on whatever the GTK? theme supplies for background. The result is blue on dark green for Digital CDE theme (which isnt easily readable) but may be even worse for other themes. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. set your gtk theme to something with blue backgrounds 2. run evolution 3. open a message in mail folder, show shortcut bar. Actual Results: Shortcut bar is gray, folder bar is gray, content of To: and From: is invisible (mailto: links displayed as blue underlined text). Expected Results: Have link color either configurable or set to something from the theme. What about links that are in text color and simply underlined? How often does this happen? always ;-) I wonder if this is first fixed in Evolution or Mozilla. Its an annoying little bug.
folder bar is part of the shell I think. (this may actually be a gal bug?)
The hardcoded colors are everywhere.... use BlueHeart-GTK, its the best example for unreadable/unusable theme... p.e. the background for edit fields is grey, the textcolor white... evolution uses instead its black color for text (p.e. addresses in new message dialog)(ever read black on dark grey?). The quoted text is the same grey as the background (message body) (even better to read:)... Message-list, folder-list items also hardcoded black....
You can change the citation color with Tools -> Mail Settings -> Display. The other problem, I think, is GAL's fault. Chris?

It is not citation color, it is mail header link color, which is not configurable AFAIK

OK. So I'm going to go ahead and mark this fixed now. I just committed some theming fixes to the widget. We now pretty much match themability with the GtkCalendar widget. The main differences being that we don't do the day abbreviations the same way, we draw a red box around "today" (which also needs to change), and we don't draw a focus rectangle around the currently selected day when the widget does have focus. But all in all, we are as themable as GtkCalendar, which means this bug is fixed in my book. :)
