Hi, I am using CentOS 6 with Gnome 2 and my theme is dark. I use Shiki Colors Brave with custom background set to dark grey and my foreground is almost white. Until recently I was using Meld 1.5.3 with custom modified preferences.py that was not working very good; still better then nothing. I would like to help with this if I can, I do not speak Python ;-) should not be that difficult. Can you please point me in the right direction. I do not see your commit, after cloning the meld repository. There are overall only four branches. I do not see your commit from Sep 4. A few words about how colors work, where are defaults and what is the idea would be very helpful.
