Input text colour is not set

[rsnyman]

I use a dark colour scheme, which means that the text colour that my browser uses for inputs is light grey. On my bad monitor at work, I can hardly even see the text. Please set text colour when you set background colours, as per the CSS standard.

See below for an example:

Dear @whodafly, mabola is not forcing that text color.

Can you check if you have same problem with Larry theme?

Thanks in advance.

You're not understanding me. I'm using KDE on Linux with a dark desktop theme, and Firefox is set to use my desktop theme for its widgets. This means that my default text colour is light grey and my default background colour is black (well, actually a very very dark grey).

Your input and select elements are setting the background colour to white, but not setting the text colour, which means that my desktop theme's text colour (light grey) is left unchanged.

You need to set the color of inputs, selects, etc when you set the background-color.

Here's Larry, where it sets neither the color nor the background-color of input and select:

I see, this means we unstyle roundcube so we are removing "mabola look".
I think best option is to have a mabola-dark skins for dark desktop theme users.

The simplest solution is to just set the text colour too in the CSS. Currently, the text colour is not set, which is why my desktop theme's text colour is being used.

input {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #333;
}

But a dark variation would also be awesome :)
