Re: [Rssowl-users] ui colors

Hi all,

First thank all of you in the dev team for this great application.
Now, I experience colors not following my color theme in linux.
This not only a cosmetic glitch since some text becomes nearly
illegible. See a screenshot here:

I prefer white text on dark background, which makes the problem
more pronounced. My question is how to set the white-background
areas in the rssowl window to some custom background color.
It seems that either some colors in RSSOwl are hardcoded or my
color theme does not define some needed elements.

Is it possible fix that in a config file (.gtkrc-2.0) ?
Or is that a RSSOwl bug ?
Any ideas appreciated.

Jan

I'd have to second that as I experience a very similar problem. My colour scheme is quite similar to that of Jan, so text becomes rather illegible at times.

More  oddly, on some occasions when I start RSSOwl it opts for the default
SWING  (or whatever is used) colours, but quite rarely it appears to  con-
form  with my GTK scheme. I haven't managed to figure out that pattern  of
light  and dark schemes alternating and it seems rather arbitrary. I would
be ecstatic to see this resolved, but don't know how much input I can pro-
vide.  Ideally,  it  should  always be light upon dark, in  line  with  my
KDE-GTK settings.
