So... After staring at the code and trying various dumb "I wonder if..."s for hours, I conceded my all too limited coding skills were simply not up to anything close to proper fixes. But I can still hack it, and noting tango-colors.h that's what I did, so far for body pane only, patching tango-colors.h to add colors like JED_BLACK (JED being my initials) and body-pane.cc to use those instead of its TANGO_* colors as fallbacks. That did work, demonstrating what I had suspected, that the body pane color-prefs code can't get the color prefs for some reason my skills were frustratingly not good enough to figure out and repair, and is thus using its fallbacks. I may not be able to repair the problem but I can sure hard-code-hack the fallbacks it's using! The preferences-ui color-prefs code likely has a similar bug, thus always showing the fallbacks even when the code using that setting is actually reading and using the setting correctly. At least with the hack I can use pan without my eyes being in pain due to the blinding white default body-pane background... with the foreground/ text colors also hacked to avoid dark-on-dark. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
