The "High Contrast Inverse" theme with the GtkHtml engine exhibits this behavior, and it's the only theme engine to exhibit this behavior. Furthermore, this will be closed as WONTFIX. Technically, it's *several* bugs: 1. GtkHtml sucks, and is something that we don't want to support in the uture. Because it sucks, it's rendering your HTML in a most inappropriate manner. 2. In an ideal world, this could be fixed by using CSS2 System colors. There is just one problem with this: GtkHtml doesn't support CSS AT ALL. (Have I mentinoed that GtkHtml sucks?) I shudder at the thought of what would need to be done to dynamically determine what colors to use that fit the theme you're running, much less insert those colors into the HTML that's provided to GtkHtml. 3. The Ubuntu packages are broken, as Ubuntu is only shipping the GtkHtml renderer. 1 and 3 are the biggies. We want to remove GtkHtml (lack of CSS2, not maintained, etc.), but because of (3) GtkHtml is the only renderer Ubuntu users can currently use. Oops. I've talked with directhex about this (on #mono, irc.gnome.org), and he'll be attempting to correct the Ubuntu packages so that a decent HTML renderer can be shipped with future Ubuntu releases. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
