Comment 1 Fabiano Fidêncio 2013-05-03 11:55:48 UTC 
Additional Info:
Running F19 with GNOME3 (normal system installed).
Evolution compiled from git (2a0d0870ca79f16).
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2013-05-06 16:01:43 UTC 
I'm not able to reproduce the black message preview background currently, I tried with a test code, not with evolution as such (even it does weird things in gnome-shell and GNOME Classic), but you told me that this got fixed on its own after update of the system, thus let's close this for now, but watch it closely in the future. (Theme-ing seems to be inconsistent, I'd expect the same outcome in MATE and in GNOME, but only MATE does what I'd expect it to do, which is confusing.)
Comment 3 Yanko Kaneti 2013-05-27 13:15:41 UTC 
As discussed on irc. Reopeneing - my desktop is GNOME3 as can be found on Fedora rawhide. The theme is the default one Adwaita or at least gnome-tweak-tool says so.
Comment 4 Yanko Kaneti 2013-05-27 13:33:30 UTC 
gtk3-3.9.1-0.1.fc20.x86_64
gnome-themes-standard-3.8.1-1.fc20.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.9.1-2.fc20.x86_64

the gtk3 build is a locally built snapshot from today.

I can reproduce it here with:
gtk3-3.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64
gnome-themes-standard-3.8.1-1.fc19.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.8.2-3.fc19.x86_64
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2013-06-03 19:03:49 UTC 
Hmm, so some Themes provide consistent background and text colors, while others do not. It's pity that one cannot rely on these colors. I opened a thread on gnome-themes-list mailing list and desktop-devel-list with subject "Always define theme background and text colors?".

evo patch

for evolution;

Kind of alchemy, and I would not be surprised if the next release it'll be broken again, but let's cross fingers.

Created commit 0cb0dc0 in evo master (3.9.4+)
Comment 9 Iain Lane 2013-12-02 16:40:11 UTC 
In Ubuntu, I noticed that we had the problem as demonstrated in the original screenshot with Evolution 3.10 & gtk+ 3.8.7 (no better with 3.10.5). Reverting 0cb0dc0 fixes the theme for us.
