gtkrc.black: text too dark to read

[klhrevolutionist]

I am starting to use gtkrc.black
but the letters in anything are to dark. Can someone change the letter's to white. And leave everything the same ? Or tell me what to change to do it ?

Do you mean the Letters in the textarea in leafpad?

I fear you cannot influence them by .gtkrc, as they are set by the programmer.

This is done, to allow different colors in a text (syntax-highlighting).

But you can set the background of Textareas (and also might modify the Lists), by adding these lines in the end:

Code: Select all

style "mine"
{
        base[NORMAL] = { 0.6, 0.6, 0.6 }
}

widget_class "*Text*" style "mine"

style "mylist"
{
        fg[NORMAL] = { 0.99, 0.99, 0.99 }
        base[NORMAL] = { 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 }
}

widget_class "*Gtk*List" style "mylist"

I can upload a Texteditor written in wxBasic (Tuxtexter), that supports several colors.
In the options you can set your own color for background and foreground.

But I must adapt it first for puppy, will take a moment.

I tried the tuxtexter, but am really stupid ?
Is there a way, for any theme just to tint the text areas a little darker and leave the text white ?
I should ask BK as he might know, he changes the text on some of
his scripts. But they are that ugly yellow, but if he knows then I can change
the text coloring to something darker but readable.
