I do get that you're trying to motivate someone to tweak the Ambiant- Mate theme, and I do agree that it is not particularly comfortable to use in Pluma. However, I don't think threatening to recommend another distro will impress many people, given that all one needs to do is go into Preferences... Font & Colors... and choose another theme, such as "Radiant-MATE".
What annoys me more is that choosing "Radiant-Mate" desktop-wide in "Appearance Preferences" neither affects pluma, nor the MATE terminal. For the latter app, this is especially unforgivable, since it has a "Use colors from system theme" check box that is explicitly supposed to follow "Appearance Preferences" according to the help document. So we actually have 3 bugs here: (1) Ambiant-Mate is poorly readable (That would be this bug, except that it might need to be filed against the theme instead of pluma, per your post #3 . It can also be argued to be a matter of opinion, though if a large percentage of the users turn out to be of the opinion that it's poorly readable, then it is a problem nevertheless.) (2) "Use colors from system theme" in MATE terminal does not do what is says. (3) There is no corresponding way to make pluma follow the system theme (also, consistency???) Feel free to modify the "Affects" field of this bug and file 2 more bugs (assuming they're not in some bug tracker here or upstream already). I'd do it myself if I had more time... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636402 Title: Low text contrast with Ambiant-Mate color scheme To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pluma/+bug/1636402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
