GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 221151
many widgets don't honor gtk "fg" spec
Last modified: 2004-09-29 20:42:39 UTC
Description of Problem: Many Evolution widgets (including "Folders" list, message list, message display pane, message compose pane, and the input boxes on compose windows) use some different value for the fg[NORMAL] property than that specified in the gtkrc. On reverse-contrast themes (with non-black fonts) this makes some widgets very hard to read. Disregarding or changing this setting should probably be regarded as a bug both in gtkhtml and in the evolution widgets that are not derived from gtkhtml (like the recipient input boxes on the message composing windows) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Assign a GTK+ theme like "Darkness" that uses a light colored-font on a dark background
I'm not fully understanding this bug. Can you attach screenshots of the places where this is an issue? This should have multiple bugs opened if it affects multiple widgets. Note that some of these are probably fixed on my laptop, where I'm fixing all of the themeability issues with the Evo/Gal widgets.
Created attachment 42006 [details] screenshot of main window with Darkness theme
Created attachment 42007 [details] screenshot of compose window
The screenshot of the main window shows that some widgets ignore the default{fg[NORMAL]} color. See the folder names in the list, the message list, and the text in the preview pane. On the compose window, only the message composition box appears to be affected in 1.2 (which I think is a change from 1.0).
OK. Will open bugs for individual widgets. A lot of these issues will be fixed in evo 1.4.
This seems to be fixed in 1.5. Marking this bug to match that.
