When I use the Cruz or Eazel-blue GTK themes, the highlight color is a dark blue. In Evolution this causes a problem where any highlighted/selected text/item can't be read very well, because the underlying text is still black (instead of inverting to white, like say it does in the Control Center). This only seems to be a problem in Evolution. Is this an Evo bug, or something I can change (without changing the selection/highlight color)?It's hard for us to tell what you mean if we don't know what part of evolution you're talking about. I use Crux and it seems fine to me. What part of evolution doesn't change color when you select text?I'm pretty sure he's refering to the hilight in the mail list (the pane above the actual mail message) and perhaps the folder bar. Basicly if you set your Crux hilight color to black (for example) it's impossible to read the title of the current mail message.
Certainly, those themes need to also set their text[SELECTED] colors to something other than black. These themes would have the same problem with a GtkText widget. Unfortunately very few theme writers ever seem to test this combination. Have I mentioned I really dislike the GtkStyle/Theme mechanism? --Larry
