I found this bug today in our downstream platform that is still using evolution 3.10.1, and thought it would be relevant to mention that this has been fixed usptream for bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731872, and also that the patch from there applied cleanly on top of my 3.10.1, fixing the problem seamlessly for me too.
So, perhaps you could consider reverting the hack into the CSS files for those two themes (as it impacts GtkWindow and GtkPanel widgets in general) and just backporting that patch on evolution itself too. My 2 cents ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #731872 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731872 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272001 Title: Evolution black background in mail display Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: With different GT3 theme (tested : Adwaita, Zukitwo and Zukiwi), Evolution 3.10 display e-mail with a black background. I put a screenshot in attachment. It's work but it's very ugly ! Please, give us a workaround. -- I wanna attach this bug to the package "evolution" but the package search (Choose...) refuse to give me a link and display to my screen "Too many matches. Please try to narrow your search.". So I choose to target evolution-common. Have a nice day.
