Created attachment 464118 [details] Screen shot of settings dialogue I installed app-editors/bluefish-2.2.6 on my KDE amd64 stable system. When it started, all its menus were in white text against a very pale grey. I couldn't use the menus to change their colour because I couldn't read them. There aren't any applicable USE flags as far as I can see. $ emerge --info =app-editors/bluefish-2.2.6 Portage 2.3.3 (python 2.7.12-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma, gcc-4.9.4,

Mea culpa. This was a settings problem.
