Re: [Geary] Dark background

Thanks Federico,

It's work as you describe (in the message view but not for the 
composer).

I managed to disactivate html composing (Before, I was changing the key 
in dconf org>yorba>geary which contains old config. Now I use 
org>gnome>geary and it is working) but it don't fix the issue with the 
composer's background color.
