Paul, all: One aspect of dark color schemes (like Obsidian Coast in KDE4) is they make many web interfaces difficult to read. This is normally due to the existing css schemes for many web applications like egroupware and squirrelmail that, for the most part, presume a traditional black on white setup. The problem areas are generally the form controls (button, text boxes, etc.) not having a full css definition and relying to a large extent on the underlying theme. Squirrelmail does better than most, but it still has some inputs and display elements that don't work well with dark schemes. I have a screenshot of sqmail with the kde4 Obsidian Coast scheme (20k): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/sqmail/kde4-dark-theme.jpeg The purpose of this post isn't to say "go change" anything now, but if you find yourself (anyone on the list as well) working with the sqmail interface it is worth keeping in mind that form elements need a full css definition (background-color, color, etc.) to insure they are readable under both light or dark color-schemes. So, just squirrel this post away (no pun intended) for the next time the color-scheme/layout is being revisited. If I have time to mess with the color definition, I'll post the results to the list for consideration as well. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
