Default view for document with unformatted text

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I've using dark background color and light font color in my system. Sometimes, i've troubles with some software, that tested only with default colors :(
For example - Okular. It using font color settings from system, but ignoring background color settings, and show white text on white (hardcoded) background with grey silouette (i dunno about, why this silouette exists).
This bug occurs only with documents (fb2, odf, pdf, etc), that hasn't any text formatting inside. If text formatting exists (text position, font boldness), anyway, if no font color formatting there — okular renders hardcoded _black_ font color and _white_ background color.
I mean: when I open document in OOo — it using all system color settings: black background and white foreground. But when i open it in Okular — it is problems, that I describe.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set windows (and other) background colors to dark tones (black, for example)
2. Set light foreground color
3. Open any document without text formatting, and see, light font color on white background. (unreadable)
4. Set background color to black in options.
5. Open this document again. It comes readable.
6. Open other document, that contains any text formatting (bold text, for example), and see black font on black paper.

Actual Results:  
see in "Details"

Expected Results:  
Both system foreground color and background color by default.

Pino Toscano has changed Component to "ODT", but it is the same problem with fb2 books. And, i think, it'll even with chm and other documents, that can contain unformatted text (i can't test them all). So I think, it is general Okular bug.

Patches welcome as always
Comment 11 Christoph Feck 2013-07-25 10:30:09 UTC
Albert, before I look into this, would you rather like the background to use the system color, or the text color to be hard coded to black?
Comment 12 Christoph Feck 2013-07-25 11:24:28 UTC
Scratch that, see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111681/
