Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

In addition to bug #282555, which I can't confirm (it maybe solved now?), I get wrong colours and therefore non-readable text, in at least two areas:
1. Baloon message which appear near system tray, when new mail arrives:
 shown white background, instead of my theme's Colors->Tooltips->Background color.
 shown unreadable text, instead of my theme's Colors->Tooltips->Text color.
2. In Address book (Ctrl+2) in bottom right frame:
 show white background, instead of my theme's Colors->Input boxes->Background color.
 (other frames here looks properly).
Please help.

I have this problem too. Why text colour is the system theme's and the background colour is just "white"? Either use black text and white background, or use the system theme's colours.

I suppose this is quick and simple to do... I hope next update fixes it.
