Bug#444998: Unreadable white-on-white text

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: normal

Due to bug #443927, yelp shows the XML source of help documents.  The
text appears as unreadable white-on-white, presumably because it uses
my .gtkrc-2.0 settings for the foreground but hard-codes white for the
background.

## Gtk-color-scheme exists so that you can customize a theme's color
## scheme without understanding the intricacies of the theme itself.
## If you set gtk-color-scheme in gnome-settings-daemon, this works.
## Just setting it and gtk-theme-name in this file DOES NOT work,
## because symbolic references are resolved at parse time -- that is,
## they only work within the file in which they occur, not in included
## files or gtk-theme-name files.
##
## What to do?  You can 1) run gnome-settings-daemon; 2) copy the
## theme you want into ~/.themes/twb and change the ONE LINE that sets
## gtk-color-scheme, then set gtk-theme-name to "twb".  I have done a
## variant of latter, copy-and-pasting a stripped-down theme in below.

## Symbolic names were introduced in 2.10, so on older hosts you'll
## see default colors and get a parse error warning on stderr.
## Similarly, if libindustrial.so isn't available, you'll get the
## default engine, Raleigh.
##
## Note that I'm using the old Industrial and High Contrast engines.
## That's because none of the other engines seem able to cope with a
## completely black background -- you end up with a fantastically
## useless amount of black-on-black borders and checkboxes.
