[Bug 980710] Re: black font on black background in xfce terminal
For some unknown reason, this problem showed up on my system recently (XFCE / Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS system with all updates). Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml and logging in again didn't fix it for me. (See #7) That file contains property name=ThemeName type=empty/ so I don't know what theme is being used. I don't particularly want to specify a theme. Another silly thing: the launcher uses gnome-terminal when you select Debian X Terminal Emulator as your preferred terminal emulator. (See Applications Menu: Settings: Preferred Applications: Utilities: Terminal Emulator) My avoid-the-problem solution is to select xterm as the Preferred Terminal Emulator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980710 Title: black font on black background in xfce terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/980710/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 980710] Re: black font on black background in xfce terminal
For the command line inhibited that read this thread; on my Ubuntu 12.04 / XFCE system I was able to get Evolution's colors to be correct by using Synaptic package manager to install the shimmer-themes package. It includes the albatross, bluebird and greybird themes. Select one of these themes and Evolution follows the theme and looks good. Reading elsewhere it appears that Evolution wants a GTK3 theme. Later I installed some other GTK3 themes from gnome-look.org and Evolution is OK with any of them as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980710 Title: black font on black background in xfce terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/980710/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I was able to fix this for all users by modifying /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf /xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml.

The file is in the xfce4-settings package, but I wonder why gnome-terminal (or gtk) isn't reverting to something sensible when a non-existent theme is chosen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980710 Title: black font on black background in xfce terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/980710/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 980710] Re: black font on black background in xfce terminal
After further checking and testing, I've found that many existing gtk themes are not updated for gtk 3.4.x. I've now selected the Adwaita theme, and the problems on evolution, gnome, etc where black text appears on black are gone. There also appears to be a need to have a ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file with the correct gtk settings.
