Re: Dark Theme

Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin does not seem to offer a way of 
changing individual buddy text color either.  What's the solution for 
those who like to work "white on black"?

white print and are visible but individual entries in each group
retained black text and so stay invisible on a black background until
a particular entry is selected and therefore highlighted. Can this be
reprogrammed so individual entries change their text color just as
titles do - in obedience to the general OS theme?

Someone more authoritative might know more than me. However as far as 
I am aware Pidgin uses the GTK Themes which are not linked directly to 
the Windows XP themes. You can alter the GTK themes via a plugin in 
Pidgin.


Buddy List -> Tools -> Plugins -> Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control -> Configure

I am not sure if what you are looking for is within that Plugin, if 
not then someone that knows more would possibly be able to point you 
in the right direction.
