How do I get rid of the black background in Evolution

I have installed Freya, and I wanted to use Evolution for my mail client.

The problem is when I view emails or try and compose new ones, there is a black background to the email and grey writing. This makes is very difficult to read.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

 

Hi, I could fix the background for the preview view doing this:

mkdir -p .themes/elementary
cd .themes/elementary
cp -r /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0 .

then open gtk.css and add this at the end of the file:

/*****************************
* FIX EVOLUTION BLACK EMAIL *
*****************************/
GtkWindow {
color: @theme_fg_color;
background-color: @theme_bg_color;
}
GtkPaned {
color: @theme_fg_color;

/* Evolution sets the background color of its mail window to the background
* color of entries, but cannot handle background images. Setting the
* background color here doesn't effect real entries, because
* 'background-image' has precedence.
*/
background-color: @theme_bg_color;
}

but I couldn't find a fix for compose window yet

 

I prefered to write at /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/apps.css

You can add the following and fix the composer background issue:


EMsgComposer GtkHTML {
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
