The area where you edit the message you will send is always white, no matter the kde color scheme. It happens with any kde style.
With my settings the background should be dark grey and text white, but it's both white in kopete. So, I can't see the text I enter until submitting if rich text editing is turned off. If it's on, I can set the text color to black, but not only another toolbar wastes space, I still can't see the thing that shows where next char will show up...you know, the blinking thing.
