News&Blogs Preview Pane - bgcolor & font color clash

[Derek White]

Binary package hint: evolution

Changed Ubuntu theme to DarkRoom (the first dark theme to ship with Ubuntu and it works with FireFox, yay!) and noticed some conflicts with the preview pane when an RSS feed is opened.

The "On This Computer" list, message list, and e-mail preview pane all picked up the bgcolor changes (from white to an off-white/peach [I'm color blind...sorta]) and use a black font color (when the e-mail doesn't specify a color set). However, when viewing an RSS feed, the preview pane bgcolor is pure white and the text color is a grey/silver color (no idea where this came from). The white and grey clash drastically (I have to Ctrl-Shift-X to read any of it).

Prior to applying the theme, the preview pane had a white bg with black font, when viewing RSS feeds.

Somehow, for only RSS feeds, the bgcolor did not get updated and the font color changed from black to grey/silver.

This must be an oversight [in the RSS plugin?], since everything else is perfectly themed.

Assigned to nobody!

IMO it should be assigned to whoever left it out in the first place! Even if they don't program anymore. :)

Seriously though, one little background/text combo got left behind and no one is stepping up to fix it? Does everything with evolution need upstreamed? Has this been upstreamed?

Is it fixed in 9.04 for final release?
