Fix field contrast with GTK dark theme

[sunchild]

Operating system: Arch Linux (6.13.5)
Browser version: 33.6.0.1 (64-bit) (GTK2)
Browser theme (if not default): Dark Moon 2.7.2
GTK theme: yaru-magenta-dark

Is there any fix for the input fields having no contrast when using a dark GTK theme ?
I read a few posts that suggested fixing it with a user style:
https://userstyles.org/styles/111694/gt ... obal-fixes
https://userstyles.org/styles/129092/wh ... -field-fix

Unironically, https://userstyles.org/ does not even load for me. I get the following even after disabling ublock:
Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).
I get the same error when I tried opening the link with firefox. The link opens fine on chromium clones but when I click on SHOW CSS all I get is {}.

I'm not sure if this thread belongs on Web Compatibility Support. Can somebody who has the CSS for the these styles share them ?

http://userstyles.org is a Chrome-only thing now I guess; use https://uso.kkx.one instead, which is a mirror of the old userstyles.org

Here:

Excuse my ignorance, but why would anyone want the text to be the same colour as the background? There would be no way to read it.

Thanks for the mirror. But it looks like the CSS is the same as the one that I came up with. It fixes many websites while breaking others like redlib instances. I guess I'll just stick to a light theme for now. I tried launching it with GTK_THEME but it still uses the global dark theme.

Code: Select all

GTK_THEME=Yaru-olive palemoon

I believe its a bug #519763 inherited from firefox.

I think this will only work with GTK3. For GTK2 you can try setting the GTK2_RC_FILES to point to a gtkrc file with a light theme, and launch like this:

Code: Select all

GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc-light palemoon

[sunchild]

That works

I briefly looked into this and Mozilla is effectively doing the same thing as that, with the difference that they lean heavily on forcing a light theme on content-processes only through electrolysis, while enforcing their own styling on the UI, ignoring system styles. That is obviously not something we could do.
