GTK Theme paints evolution mail body black

[Thomas Dalichow]

Hi folks,

I just tried freya beta2 and installed evolution. As it turns out, the mail body is drawn as black (probably) due to shortcomings in the elementary gtk theme.

The following code fixes pic1.png but still leaves us with pic2.png. I found it somewhere on the internets...

File: /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (put the code at the very bottom of the file)

GtkWindow {
     color: @theme_fg_color;
     background-color: @theme_bg_color;
 }
GtkPaned {
     color: @theme_fg_color;

    /* Evolution sets the background color of its mail window to the background
     * color of entries, but cannot handle background images. Setting the
     * background color here doesn't effect real entries, because
     * 'background-image' has precedence.
     */
     background-color: @theme_bg_color;
 }

This is probably some error in the elementary theme but the solution above is most definately just a bad fix. I have no clue as to what a proper solution might be and what software might as well be influenced by the bug at hand.

Cheers Thomas

Ah well... #1422187 seems like the definition of "duplicate", so my report can be closed.
