Bug Description

Adding annotations to PDF documents via the side panel works really well except that it is impossible to read what I write. The default text color is yellow on white background!

Changing the color in the content menu has no effect as only the frame border color changes.

A simple but very nasty bug!

My system: Ubuntu 12.04, evince 3.4.0-0ubuntu1

Same on 12.10. Bit of searching reveals that this is a theme issue. Workaround: switching to the adwaita theme, you get black font.

So, are the themes setting a weird color for a certain type of text or is evince using the wrong type of text for its annotations?

I don't want to use the Adwaita Theme, it conflicts with my Cinnamon settings...it would be helpful for color settings to default to user's window manager settings, yet parameterizable in a conf editor.

Such simple thinks MUST work with the default theme!
