Not consistently following system colour schemes

[Espen Grønvold]

Binary package hint: pgadmin3

Ubuntu release: 7.10
Program: pgAdmin III
Version: 1.4.3 (May 21 2007)

Using a dark colour scheme/gnome theme with light text causes text in the data editor of pgAdmin3 to be unclear, since the program uses the colour scheme for the text but not for the background.

It is drawing the table and editboxes in white, and because I use light grey text in the current theme, it becomes almost unreadable. It is a minor bug, one that could be solved by changing my gnome theme, but I think this program should have an all or nothing approach to colour schemes. Either implement it on all things, or on nothing.

As I suspect the text colour scheme is something that is implemented on component level, and not necessarily something the programmers of this project has anything to do with, it would be easier to implement colour schemes/gnome themes on all element/custom elements in the program, and leave the rest as is.

I can confirm this, but I'm not sure if this can be fixed in pgadmin3 - it seems to me more like libwxgtk2.8 bug.

Yes, this is actually an issue with wxwidgets - pgadmin3 doesn't offer any specific (color) scheme settings.

Marking bug as confirmed.
