Comment 32 for bug 260572

Why can't konqueror just do what I tell it to?

If I want white text on a black background that's what I should get, unless the page itself overrides. If the page is badly written it will show, and that is the fault of the web author, and not the responsibility of konqueror.

If you want to work around that, add a config option for using either (1) the system colours or (2) special fg/bg colours for web pages. Maybe also a check box in (1) for 'except when the page specifies only one of fg+bg'. That way I can at least have the rest of my kde apps look how I want (without having to use firefox for web browsing!). Other browsers have done this for years now.

I tried hacking the source myself, but I just got totally lost in all the framework gubbins and couldn't see what was actually going on.
