Opera 10.5x and 10.60a - Text Hardly Readable with GTK+ and a Darker Template
Hello! Opera 10.60a and 10.5x both are showing hardly readable interface parts when using a darker GTK template with lighter text color. Is there any way to override the default gnome template setting and set a better color? Or could be implemented an option to change this color in the final version? Thanks in advance.Using Debian Lenny.
Yes, definitely improved. The address bar and text boxes show up correctly now. However YouTube buttons' text still looks a bit too bright disregarding the selected color option. Also the Google search panel doesn't accept the selected theme color and thus looks too dark on dark backgrounds.
The latest snapshot (currently 10.60 6383) isn't perfect either. I had to change the skin.ini of the skin I'm using. I had to change the [Edit Skin] part and set it to 'native = 1', instead of the skin's default 'native = 0'. Still, multiline edit, like the reply box here, ignores this. Please make a setting in opera:config to ignore GTK text colours for input fields and use the skin or site style. Or is there a custom CSS 'patch' to fix it for all input fields (overriding already existing settings like Google.com)?

For now you could work around it by using X11 mode and setting the Interface Colors preferences as you see fit. An appropriate dark Opera skin will allow for further manipulation. It should be possible to use this route to get something that looks reasonable. However I realise that is a fairly manual process so we will continue to work on native look integration.
