Meanwhile, I've been back to my 6.8 system with firefox-8.0 and confirmed that - even specifying a theme which did not exist there (Clearlooks) - that version of firefox came up with nice grey backgrounds everywhere in the borders, and also in the preferences. Now I'm back on 7.0 / 8.0.1 I've got chunks of black in the borders (menu bar, all icon backgrounds at the top, and similarly the backgrounds to Previous Next etc which come up at the bottom if I use Edit -> Find). And, of course, the preferences texts are black on black. This sounds like what people have been reporting ever since ff4 came out - even on kde and 'doze - but since my main change in this build is gtk+-2.24.8 / glib-2.30.1 it feels like a gtk change has led to this - previously, I was using 2.22.1 and 2.26.1. Or maybe it's glib - certainly glib is blamed for the pango-1.28 problems I saw (G_CONST_RETURN no longer defined) when my script erroneously started to build libglade. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
