[Dorset] Background Colour Problems - Kubuntu 12.04 & Evolution

2012-05-02 Thread Peter Merchant
Since I upgraded to Kubuntu 12.04 last week, a lot of what should be
just a highlighted colour on my Evolution screen is now in Black(ish).

I have been changing the colours of elements in my settings menu under
application appearance, and it doesn't have any effect here, though it
does change other effects. I have a number of different shades of blue
for background things now. 

At the moment the highlighted email is black, with black print, the
surround for the email is black, and the surround for the list of mail
folders is black.

 Has anyone else seen this problem and know how to sort it?

Thanks,

Peter M.

Yes,  this rings a bell.   I upgraded to 12.04 and experienced a bit of
this on one or two applications - can't remember exactly which on which
desktop as I have been switching between KDE / Unity and Lubuntu to see
which configuration I prefer,

Will have another look - you reminded me that I saw it  - I sort of
discounted it when I got a wm/desktop configuration I could tolerate.

Seems peculiar to KDE plasma-desktop; affects Thunderbird but all is 
good on lubuntu or unity.

Thanks. I keep changing colours and desktops, but it persists. 

I remember something like this on a previous upgrade, but I found a fix
on the Internet that I did not document, and cannot find again. It
required downloading some files, that's about all I remember.
