Various people tell me that Kopete picks my system background color (dark background, light text is my preference, not white backgrounds, like a "normal" desktop) for use in sending to AIM users, thus making the text they receive virtually unreadable. (Light blue on dark blue.) The font/color options are greyed out for AIM, but it's still sending colors. Font/color options are not greyed out for MSN Messenger, and it's easily "fixable" there. Not sure what's ultimately the root-cause. Happy to provide any other info needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set background color in KDE to dark blue. 2. Use Kopete to send to a "standard" AIM client. 3. Font will be default (light blue?) but background will follow system colors on the remote user's screen. Actual Results: Virtually unreadable text on their end. Expected Results: Use system background colors for local display but send default colors to remote user, or allow local user to override as needed. (Not grayed out.)
