If you change one color, change ‘em all
I changed to a dark GUI theme today, which has white text on dark gray background. It looks rather smashing. Then. I decided to check my gmail, which was impossible, because google sets their background color to white and/or light blue, but they don’t set the front color. That means that gmail renders with white text on a white (or light) background, and is completely unreadable.
The same thing applies to my blog here, and it will be fixed. However, I can’t do anything with google, besides using some greasemonkey scripts.
And I really thought google knew this stuff. I’m a bit ashamed mysef for not having this correct here. It has always been a good rule to always change all colors if you change one color.
