Iceweasel in Trollinger

Unread post by pottzie » Thu Oct 31, 2013 9:06 pm

I've got Trollinger 32 bit, and have Iceweasel. When I have to fill in some text box, like I'm doing now to post this, the print is almost invisible, grayed out so low that I can't make it out on my laptop. I've only seen this happen in Trollinger, as I have Mate and Wifey on other computers.

Is there some setting I can change so I can see what I'm typing?

I haven't used Trollinger in a while, but it sounds like you just need to choose a lighter theme in your preferences. I've run into the same problem before with dark themes in many DEs, and that is generally the cure.

I'd try an edit, but where? I have no idea where to find .themes/NumixBrown/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

You do this with your chosen theme. Check what is chosen in "lxappearance" program, or by checking the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.

sudo leafpad /usr/share/themes/<THE THEME YOU ARE USING>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
..gnutella..
