(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.3.7 (using KDE 2.9.0 1 (3.0 beta1)) Severity: wishlist Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.0.3 OS: Linux (i586) release 2.4.17 OS/Compiler notes: There appears a nice color scheme if I receive an pgp-encoded mail. but the backgroundcolor is white and unchangeable via the KMail Preferenceces->Custom Colors. I use a darkblue backgound with withe color. and so I get here a white font over the white background ;-) make it just changeable (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)

It's not directly configurable. But the background color depends on the=20 frame color. It's simply a lighter version of the frame color. I tested this once with white on black background and after adapting the=20 PGP colors (make them darker) it looked quite good. > I use a darkblue backgound with withe color. and so I get here a > white font over the white background ;-) > > make it just changeable I don't think this is really necessary. You can simply reduce the brightness of the PGP colors to 50%. I just=20 tested it again and it looks ok.

Go to Settings->Configure KMail...->Appearance->Colors. Now double click=20 on the color you want to change (there are 5 OpenPGP colors). In the=20 color selection dialog there is a slider (oben in der mitte) which can=20 be used to change the brightness of a color. Alternatively you can=20 change the value of V (unten links).

I'm having the same problem as this poster - the colors for the PGP status line are indeed configurable, however the background color for the body of PGP messages are not. I also use a white-on-black scheme, and this results in the PGP message body being white-on-white (and therefore unreadable). The PGP message body needs to conform to the settings for regular message bodies.

Ok, it is a duplicate. Didn't find it on bugs.kde.org. I think changing 6 colors to 50% just to achive a darker background is not really what usability is about, no? I want to keep the frame colors, but I want the same background as a normal message, I can not see a reason to make the background depending on the frame. This makes no sense at all to me. At least not at this contrast. Keeping the standard font color but getting a very light background is not working. Perhaps one should be able to adjust the contrast of the background instead of the color. But ending up with unreadble mails is not what I expected from KDE ;) Just my 2ct Rainer

You said you had white text color. Don't tell me that you can easily read white text on the light green frame for a good signature because I definitely can't. > I can not see a reason to make the background depending on the frame. I made it depending on the frame because then the user doesn't have to change 12 colors (foreground _and_ background). Anway, I guess I will have to change the algorithm which determines the background color.

Sorry, but my normal background is black, not the good looking but "making things compilcated" calculated light green of the encyption box. > > > I can not see a reason to make the background depending on the frame. > > I made it depending on the frame because then the user doesn't have to > change 12 colors (foreground _and_ background).

I appreciate the idea of the light-colored coded background. I loved the effect unitl I changed to a dark background. I am just saying it is not working with a "light font on dark background" theme.

Subject: Re: unchangable backgroundcolor with encryption In case of a dark background color KMail 1.5.3 and above will use the same shade of darkness as the background color for the background of signed/encrypted messages. That means that if you have black as background color then the background of signed/encrypted messages will also be black and if you have a dark shade of blue as background color then the background of signed/encrypted messages will be a dark shade of the corresponding OpenPGP color. I hope everyone is satisfied with this solution.
