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; } source: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1272001/comments/11 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;
