After emerging ardour 0.9_beta30 audio tracks are rendered with black foreground on black background. Selections are still visible but audio signal stays 'invisible'. Even the start message 'Create a new Session' is white foreground on white background and therefore invisible. After switching back to beta29 (mask with /etc/portacke/package.mask) everything's fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge [world | ardour] 2. start ardour 3. see that you don't see anything Actual Results: Audio Tracks and Start Message are rendered with background color Expected Results: Audio Tracks and Start Message should not be rendered with background color -> Track Signal is visible, start message can be read...

From beta29 to beta30 the ardour_ui-configuration in /etc/ardour changed totally. Leaving the ._cfg_????... unmerged leads to messed up ui-configuration and strange color behaviour like background=foreground. Replace the old ardour_ui.rc with the latest ._cfg_????... and it works fine. Sorry for that newbie-mistake.
